Survival Guide - Your first day: Difference between revisions

The GUI at the bottom of the player's screen shows a single left hand slot (holds one item type), 10 right hand slots (hotbar, accessed using 1-0 keys or scrolling the mouse wheel) and 4 empty container slots (far right). A player begins in the world with only 11 inventory slots (right hand hotbar and single left hand) available until containers are added to the 4 container slots. To begin expanding player inventory, crafting [[Crafting_Recipes#Portable_Containers|hand baskets]] is a good option. To create baskets, harvest [[Cooper's_Reed_(Cattail)|reeds]], which can usually be found near lakes.

<pre>Protip It's a good idea to move the torch to the left hand slot, which provides an active light source. Press 'E' to open the inventory and transfer items to/from the left hand slot. This also opens an available hotbar slot.</pre>
