Advice for a newb

Head for a river, there are always abandoned boats, get in one... (right click select avast) and look around...
(ps control click to get out of it... no one tells you this)

Why must people support boat theft.

This'll get you killed.

If you like you can come live in my Village. We are quite friendly, and we like to help others out, especially new players.

You can find Curiosities too, spiders and webs from plants you find, like taproot. And dragonflies in the swamps.

Raise your damn exploration, too. Helps a lot when you're foraging.

Bah. Found 2 male silkmoths, 2 female silkmoths, a ruby dragonfly and an itsy bitsy web all in 10 minutes and then get killed by a bear 5 minutes later >_<

Okay, look, I know that feel (may Dr Quint rest in peace inside that boar, his spirit lives on) and first thing I did when it happened, was to get that Ender's Client thing. With it, you can see the "hostile line of vision" of both bears and boars.

It's a true lifesaver.

Don't give up on the game because of it. It'd be a pity, and there's way worst stuff that could happen to you than death by wild animals in the beginning of the game.

I'm computer illiterate. How do I download Ender's Client? Use non computer jargon. I found the forum with the download but couldn't get it to work.

Please note that they will agro outside that range in some cases, it's happened to me before. Luckily there was a house nearby.
