Next you find somewhere to build a shelter with a door and a roof. Also find a good view and lots of resources nearby for mining later.

Step number 3: Is to build a shelter with a wind a door and a roof make a bed so that it can make dawn come sooner also remember to have a light. WARNING! (The most colossal scariest and angriest also spooky zombies spawn at night in the dark). You can build it in the tree but make sure it is the highest tree in the jungle otherwise you can dig into a side of a mountain.
As soon as, collect resources like food cows pigs mine cobblestone to build a furnace later. Mine sand is something that will be smelting glass later.
