Resources listed were chosen based on their usefulness, utility, and, where applicable, their role in the game’s various branches of progression, whether for tools and weapons, structures, or other gameplay elements. Be on the lookout for relevant stats and what these resources are vital for.
8Wood And Granite
Just like inMinecraft, you should start the game by punching some trees and mining some rocks. Well, it’s not exactly the same; the easiest way to gather wood and granite when you’re just starting out is to pick up little granite rocks and sticks you find on the ground.
These resources are vital for progression since they’re used for all kinds of things, including:
7Pumpkins
As it turns out, this game will reward you if gobbling gourds is one of your favorite recreational activities.

Although there are certainly other foods, especially cooked kinds, that will heal you more, milk and eggs are preferable when you’re just starting out because you don’t have to waste tool durability, potentially risk dying, or spend a bunch of resources up front because cooked food requires a Grill.

Bones are a common drop received from Skeletons, which can be found wandering around at night or prowling the inner chambers of intricate cave systems. While groups of Skeletons can be a bit of a hassle, just play safe by dodging their attacks and smacking them until they fall.
Once you have a decent bundle of these calcium-rich sticks, you’ll be able to use them for absolutely vital items and gear. The biggest upgrades you should go for first areHealth Charms, which increase your defense and max health, and theupgraded axes, pickaxes, and shovelssince that’ll let you collect better resources.
