Even when we see speedrunners that try to finish the game as soon as possible, most of the time, they try to find a village the moment they spawn. This is because villages are great for gathering basic resources from one peaceful area.

You can get wood, stone, iron, food, and even emeralds and other useful items from these settlements.

When users are in a village, they can also create a lectern to employ a villager as a librarian. These mobs trade various regular and rare enchantments that you can apply to any gear. Though there is a chance that Mojang could change the trading system based on which biome the librarian is from, as of now, the trading system is normal.

Though this is not a simple tip to instantly make players overpowered, it is definitely something they must do to eventually be really good at the game. The game has a unique combat system that users should practice on basic mobs and safe areas in order to improve.

The rhythm of attacking with melee weapons, the angle to shoot arrows at, and even parkouring through the world to evade—all these things must be practiced to eventually become overpowered.

It is safe to say that players could find several gold ore blocks early in the game. Since gold gears are the worst, users usually have stacks of useless gold ingots sitting in storage.

They can instead be used to craft golden apples and carrots, which are great food items and even have special status effects on players. They can be created early in the game as emergency food during intense fights.
