Hey guys its me DarkDiamond277, I'm new to this game but I want some tips on this game, Its so hard finding iron that I can't imagen what its like to find diamond, and I hate dying. My worst enemy on the game baby zombs like go die in front of the sun or somethin but no when they see me its fresh food for them. So any really good tips for finding iron or diamonds and how to not get notice by monster even though that's impossible. Give me some good advice.

For finding iron and diamonds I would suggest finding a cave system. For keeping away mobs you should build a base for night, or wear a zombie head that can be obtained from lucky blocks.
go to the old mines in the desert or to the coords 0;-500 (I think they are the ones I don't go there anymore. 6 months ago)
300:318 has a good diamond, gold, and iron mine. I suggest heading there.
I create Quarries, and they produce decent amounts of all minerals, especially in the swamplands. As for Mobs, besides using torches, you can build in non-spawn areas; from my experience, mobs can't spawn in water, or on top of trees.
I'm building a haven for new and peaceful players, you can stay there if you want until you gather a foundation.
