So, have we got a nice big room? If not, make one!
Make sure you have some kind of food and torches with you. (Try not to kill animals)
So... I guess we need irons more than anything. By the way, you should be using a stone pickaxe for everything already.
I guess it's too dangerous for cave mining right now, we will do cave mining after combat.
Now, in our nice big room, dig a staircase to level 40.
Use F3 to check your current height (the number after "y")
You should come across a lot of coal on the way down, grab them all and replace them with cobblestone so that you have a way up.
Remember to watch your steps, you might find a cave right under you.
Do not enter any caves, just ignore it and start building a main tunnel.

Alright, let's start with branch mining!
The idea of branch mining is to have a main tunnel, then make branches from it.

T represents tunnels, and B are blocks.
This way allows you to mine a big area without digging so much.
So now we have our main tunnel!
Make sure every branches have 2 blocks in between, no more or less.
Also make sure that your branches are not opposite of each other, you will not be able to find the main branch.

If you come across to this situation, quickly grab the ores and block the tunnel (make sure that you know where it is, so that you can do cave mining afterwards)
Make sure iron ores are burned with furnace to obtain iron ingots.
Mine until you find a cave, a pool of lava or when you don't feel like it anymore.
Do not continue on old branches, create a new branch every time you are going to mine.
And how you do it! hope you like it!
In the next tutorials we will be doing some farming! And we will have food!
