So, as you seem to have stubled apon this guide, luckily, there will be steps, on how to survive, from Nightime, to Daytime.

Step One, to surviving the nightime. 

So, it seems that it has fallen to night. You seem to have no shelter. Well, the tips to getting shelter, are to, grab dirt and build up to the nearest tree, and if there are no trees, build a dirt tower until morning. Or, just find a cave. But, if you wish to dig a hole. It is not the best way to go, because you could not tell what time it was because if you made an opening, night mobs would fall in and attack you.

Step Two, to survivng the nightime.

Check your surroundings, to make sure nothing is above, below, infront, or behing you. If you don't, anything could creep up to you at the very moment and you will die.

Step Three, to surviving the nightime.

If you chose the cave shelter, make sure you block off the access to the cave, with dirt. If you chose to build a tower, make a guard railing in case of a Skeleton that is near you. If you chose a tree, you are not yet, fully safe. You also, must put up a guard railing to make sure you cannot fall off.

Step Four, to surviving the nightime.

Try to grab some resources that are available around you, but, if you have chosen to make a dirt tower, make sure you have enough dirt, to possibly expand your area. If there are no resources you can collect around you, then try to explore the area you have, or observe the surroundings for any openings.

Step Five, to surviving the nightime. 

Try to not skip any of these steps, as you might need them later on. If these tips are no use to you, look through the ones you find interesting and possible use. If these are no use, then you might as well read them until daytime comes around.

Step Six, to surviving the nightime.

If you see your hunger go down, then I would suggest not, to sprint, and just continue reading. If you continue to sprint, you will run out of hunger and you will starve. And you will be easier to kill. Or, you will be dead.

Step Seven, to surviving the nightime.

If you are in a cave, then destroy one block in the wall in the opening of the cave. If it is nightime block it back up, and check occasionally, but, if you are in a tree, or a tower, continue watching the night sky until morning arrives.

Step Eight, to surviving the nightime.

Try to stay calm, and positive. Do NOT freak out. Panicking is NOT a good idea at all.

Step Nine, to surviving the nightime.

Continue to follow all of these steps, in the correct way. If you do anything incorrectly, you'll mess something up, and die.

Step 10, to surviving the nightime.

Congratulations by if you're still reading this ,you have survived but don't go down yet, burning zombies can set you on fire by touch and creepers could be just around the corner, make sure you can defend yourself or run.

If you survived that step. Then you have read my whole 'How to' guide. If this situation happens again, then read the guide again. But, I don't think that will happen. But anyways, congratulations. You, have survived.
