Tutorial:Village survival

This tutorial is on village survival, a challenge involving surviving solely in a village.

First off, find a village. Walking around in biomes where they generate is the best strategy, if one is not found within a reasonable distance, trying again in a new world may be required. Make sure that villages can be generated. You can also use seed templates that spawn you in an area close to a village.

You can get the wood logs two ways: Search for trees growing near the village, or get the logs from the buildings. At this point, craft a crafting table and a full set of wooden tools. To get the stone, dig various dirt blocks and mine for cobblestone. Try to get enough to make the stone tools, a furnace, and two stacks to make a shelter. Getting iron to make a bucket is also important for establishing your own farms.
