A simple progression path so you always know what is worth doing next.
Gear up
Build an iron set, shield, bucket, tools, and a reliable food supply. Start mining deeper for better resources.

The End
When you are ready, bring ranged weapons, building blocks, food, strong armor, and a plan for dealing with the dragon and Endermen.
