How do I get friends on my world?

Make sure your friends play Pocket Edition with multiplayer on. You could either run your own private server, or if a friend has his or her own server, ask if you could join them.

Can I download or get back a world I accidentally deleted in creative mode?

Unfortunately, no. However, before deletion, it will ask you if "You are sure you want to delete this world". Next time be more alert to that message and heed it.

Keep digging until you find cobblestone with dark chunky bits. Use that coal to make torches with two sticks on the bottom and one piece of coal.

Make sure you have the proper food for each animal (wheat for cows and sheep, carrots or potatoes for pigs, seeds for chickens). Then, right-click on Java Edition, click "Feed" on Pocket Edition, or use the left trigger on Xbox.
