My first shelter is normally a cave. Either one I carve myself, or one that I find and seal up if it's a tunnel. Considerably easier than gathering supplies and building up, and I like to use the daylight hours to gather other basic supplies anyway.

Just gotta seal all of the holes, and make sure your seal right near the very end of 'the cave'.

... With luck, you won't have utterly missed the cave spider spawner.

Mistakes have been occasionally made, trying to make a safe zone out of a generated cave instead of digging one myself. There have been instances where I would approach a hole, trying to see if there was any coal near the opening or something, and two or three creepers would come out at me. Not fun at all.

Lately I've noticed fewer monsters spawning in survival mode. Is everyone experiencing that? Some night go by without much of a peep from monsters.

My nights are always peaceful... because the map is on fire.

Lolz. Fun with flint and steel!
