    Gather wood. Chances are, you'll be in an area that has at least one tree. Starting off with breaking 4-6 logs is optimal.
    • As you're going through the world gathering resources, keep note of any lava source you find. Lava is a light-emitting fluid block that can harm you when coming into contact with it. Be cautious around lava.

    Collect Lava. Similarly to the water, you can collect this by right-clicking a lava source with an iron bucket. Be careful not to right click lava with a water source, as it may create a mess that can't be cleaned without a diamond pickaxe. It's best to find a source of 10 lava blocks or more, to make it easier for the next step.

    If you have the mod installed you should be able to do it in creative mode, just the same as survival.

      Tips

      • It helps to be prepared to fight mobs, such as by going to the Nether to practice. However, while in the Nether, try not to harm any zombified piglins. You can ignore all of this if you're playing on peaceful mode and/or in Creative mode.
        Thanks
