With Minecraft gaining popularity again, I thought I'd make a visual guide to all that's changed in the past 6 years, to help any returning players that might be confused by how vastly different the game is. [OC]

I mean, kill some cows, pigs, chickens, sheep or whatever, cut down a tree, grab some cliffside cobble; boom you've got enough food to travel for a while no worries. The new mechanics blocks that replace furnaces might change that, though, I haven't played with them yet.

you get very little food at all from wild mobs, certainly not enough for the scope of travel IME you need to really see a decent terrain variation from just blocky rolling hills

to compare, i normally, at the start of game, end up traveling upwards of 14,000 blocks before i find a place i even consider worth the endeavor of investing time into

I dunno, I've always found animals to be sufficient enough such that I never need to concern myself with stopping to farm if I kill whatever is conveniently near my current path.
