1st Excavation

This the third day of your world. You are ready to begin your excavation. Make a 5x5x5 pit in the ground and start mining down. Bring a pack of torches and a trapdoor, as well as a couple of weak pickaxes. Bring a strong pickaxe for the important ores. Keep mining until you feel like stopping or when you run out of supplies. Keep mining until day, then you come to your house and smelt the ores with your furnace. Put one of your pieces of coal or wood in the slot below the fire sign. Then you place a pack of a single type of ore and wait. Cover the pit with blocks so mobs don't fall in it. Put a trapdoor and some ladders for easy entry. Congrats! You have survived your third and fouth day as well as completing your first outdoor mine.
