## Tips & Tricks to Survive more than a day!\ufeff
\n**RECOMMENDED IF YOU HAVE TROUBLES ON THE FIRST DAY!**<\/p>\n
– Every minute is useful.
\n– Stay away from the caves close to you and anywhere dark a mob could spawn.
\n– Avoid the underground until you are really well protected with the armor you can get.
\n– Go to Ancient Cities and try to find Life Lights on chests to recover health. Trial Chambers and Treasure Bastions are also an option, however they have more hostile mobs.
\n– Craft torches in campfires with sticks to light up the place.
\n– Defeat Powerful Mobs to have maximum energy for a period of time.
\n– Always sleep; a single phantom can be deadly if unprepared.
\n– Settle in ocean, or biomes with fewer hostile mobs.
\n– Totems of Undying are and will be your best friend.<\/p>\n
