I am currently living in cave so idk... breading seems hard. Unless i do it in the cave. lol that sounds kinda creepy.
Anyway... I currently have an enchantment table and i found a enchanted book while mining in some cave. Any suggestions?? Like should i re-make the enchantment table using the enchanted book i found?? is it worth?? idk..
I'm not sure if you can even make an enchanting table using a enchanted book, but if you can it would change nothing about the enchanting table's worth. what you can do with the enchanted book is craft an anvil and use that book with a item to add that enchantment to the item.
Why is gold made stuff weaker in comparison to iron? I mean i get the real world logic, but in MC gold is more rare so the obvious thing is that stuff made out of gold should be stronger than iron right??
Gold is softer than iron in real life, which doesn't necessarily mean that it should be in game, since some things are just way different. But in this case game mechanics follows real world mechanics. Really, gold is a pretty useless metal in real life if you think about it. It is very conductive, and corrosion resistant which accounts for it's use in computers, and in automotive airbag circuits. otherwise it is ornamental. I do wish that the game gave us the option of building pretty, but totally useless jewelry or something with it.

Gold should be used to trade with villagers. Using only one thing for exchange that too it's super rare. That just makes the whole thing pointless.

I've seen it once or twice on PS3 as a trade with a villager. But I think that emeralds are more or less the currency they use. Ironically, I am in an extreme hills biome, and have over a full stack of emeralds. The only adjacent biomes are forest and ice plains in one direction, and forest and frozen taiga in the other. To the east is ocean, as is the south. So no villages anywhere close to trade with.
Gold is highly enchantable, meaning it's easier to get higher enchantements. Gold has a lot of uses compared to back in alpha when I started playing. There was literally nothing you could do with it but make armor and tools and enchantments didn't exist. Then they added clocks, then powered rails, then gold apples, gold carrots, glistering melon, and gold pressure plates.
Minecrafts development style is to loosely mimic the real world but bend things a bit if its cool and never add anything unless it really adds to the game play. Back when Notch added gold I think he was just going with a sort of material progression in mind, but his vision for gold was it was mainly for looks. Then later they added more useful things for it to be used for, but as you can see some of them while addind to gameplay were a little bit of a stretch.
For breeding: make a room near your cave (square-shaped, with floor sized 5, 7, or even 9 blocks and 3 or 4 blocks high) and make the animals (best for beginning are cows) go into it, and eventually close them (best are gates). Look here for more breeding info.
Edit#1: Its also important to have the breeding food farm !
But how do i get the animals to come with me to the fences?? And then what?? how do i breed them??

You lure them with the same food you breed them with, you hold the food in your hand and stand near them and they come to you and follow you. Just don't move too fast.
IMHO, Minecraft is more fun if you start out a complete newbie and learn as you go. That's the way I played. I made many mistakes (like crafting golden armor) and died a lot, but it was the most fun I ever had in my life.
Well that was a bit off-topic So let me give you one tip: if you ever find a room underground with green / mossy cobblestone, chests, and a "cage" in the middle of the room, do not destroy that cage structure! These underground structures are called dungeons, and the cage blocks are mob spawners. You can make simple XP farms using those!
Although I'm glad I didn't do any deep research about ho to play minecraft, I do wish I knew about these beforehand

I tried it with terrible results. I gave my wife my glasses for a second, a creeper showed up and now my wife is pregnant.
Stupid 3D..

Chickens = Seeds
Pigs & Rabbits = Carrots
Cows & Sheep = Wheat
