Early Game (Day 1-3)
Start with wooden tools, immediately upgrade to stone tools. Focus on getting iron as quickly as possible.
Mid Game (Found Diamonds)
Craft diamond pickaxe first, enchant with Fortune III and Efficiency. Keep iron tools as backups.
Late Game (Nether Access)
Upgrade your best enchanted diamond tools to netherite using netherite ingots at a smithing table.
