Creepers can blow up and take most of a player's life. They camouflage well with trees and grass. A crafting table can create many items from basic materials like wood. Players can mine minerals like diamond, gold, redstone, and coal which are used to make weapons, armor, and more. Emeralds are the rarest. Animals provide useful resources - cows and mooshrooms give food, sheep provide wool, pigs give pork chops, and chickens lay eggs.
