Whether you in a frightening biome in the dead of night, deep in a cave hunting for diamonds, or want to make sure no mobs spawn at your house, the best tip we can give is to make torches. Days in Minecraft aren't long so we won't waste any more time telling you how to make regular and redstone torches.

Step 2: Place one coal or charcoal into the middle square in the top row.
Step 3: Place one stick directly below into the middle square in the second row.
Step 4: Drag the resulting four torches down into your inventory.
Step 5: Repeat these steps until you get all the torches you need.
