Danny, in a furnace, put a log in the top box and the bottom box and it will smelt into charcoal which is way more efficient than using 1 log for each item you smelt
Danny please install fullbright [the resource pack] so we and you can see in the caves To do extra damage, jump when you hit with your axe and sword and wait for the axe/sword cooldown. You can see the cooldown on the crosshair when you hit To mine cobwebs faster use a sword
Just so you know, if you smelt one Birch/Oak (or whatever type of) log, you'll get a piece of Charcoal. You only need 8 pieces of Charcoal to smelt a full stack of any item, whereas you'd need 42.6 logs to do the same. Also logs and planks have the same smelt time so if you are in a rush, turn your logs into planks before using them.
I reckon Danny you should turn the GUI scale down slightly so the F3 screen is more readable, and also you should turn subtitles on. It may sound stupid, but subtitles have saved my hardcore world more times than I can count
To mine spiderwebs need to use a sword to break them quicker. To use a torch it has 4 or 5 light source block radius so need to space them out. Also to cook items quicker need a blast furnace to cook iron quicker etc and smoker to cook food quicker. Random nosies are cave or a new area you havent explored yet
Also to save your hunger going down the best food source is steak. It has the best food saturation meaning that it will go like 3 or 4 hungers over the full hunger bar. So as long you have a cow farm set up then you won't run out of steak
Strip mine on the chunk border (F3+G) at -57. It's dead af, but you won't find as many in open spaces (unless under water) as they generate where there's less oxygen. You'll only find the odd one in the open
@aj_javan Minecraft is made up of 16x16x256 chunks, by pressing F3+G on Java you can see the chunks. Strip mining along the borders increases your chances of finding diamonds as you're exposing 2 chunks. The best way to find diamonds is by using a water-breathing potion + night vision in a water cave. Aqua Affinity or doors make the job a lot easier, but during early-game chunk border strip mining is the best
Danny, Use magma blocks to breathe underwater as it emits air bubbles and allows you to see. It can also be used to pull you down quicker but keep in mind to crouch on it as it will damage you otherwise.
