Chapter 5 - Real deal tools.
Go back to one of your small towns now. It's time to mine. So far, what you've got without mining, is stone and wood tools. Mining will help that. You're going to have to start a one in your town. Mines are very important. There are many things that you can get from mines (gold, diamonds, redstone, lapis lazuli, and more). Start by making a stone pickaxe to mine with, then make a shovel and swords. Now you can dig a hole in the most convenient place in your town (most likely the center). (WARNING: You need an iron pickaxe to mine any important ores. TYPES OF MINES: First and most time consuming is the branch mine. A branch mine is a corridor with smaller corridors branching from it (hence the name). Then there's cave mining. Find a cave and mine in it.
Either strategy will work well enough. Mine down until you hit bedrock. Bedrock is the deepest you can go. It is also the entryway to the void. The void will kill you if you dig past bedrock. But there's a good thing about bedrock too. You will find lots of diamonds and amazingly strong materials at this level, which you can use to make better tools. That's what you're looking for. For intance Diamond can be made into a sword that kills monsters in two shots.
Once your mine is proficient you can come back up and make some awesome tools.
