Redstone. This guide is based off that you have some basic knowledge of Minecraft, knowing its fundamental mechanics but still have a lot to learn.
Surviving your first night can be tricky, especially if you're not in peaceful mode. I recommend playing on easy or normal difficulty if your first starting, however if your only interested in the sandbox part, peaceful mode is better.[1]
Your first steps should be to mine a tree down for some logs, and convert all your logs into planks and make a Crafting Table and 8 sticks. Just like this:
Then, find the 👁 Image
Wooden Pickaxe in the Recipe Book or make it manually with this recipe:
Now, you're able to mine any stone-tier block. Pick up your crafting table then dig down till you find 2 blocks of stone in front of you, and start mining. Collect 3 pieces of cobblestone then place your crafting table and make a 👁 Image
Stone Pickaxe just like so:
You should then keep digging till you have about 20 to 30 pieces of cobblestone, this will last for a while. Now that you have more cobblestone, craft a full set of stone tools. This includes an axe, pickaxe, shovel, and sword. The sword is optional, as you can use an axe for a weapon.[2]
Next, you'll need a 👁 Image
Furnace to smelt your ores and food later. To make this, you need only 8 pieces of cobblestone:
Optionally, you can make a 👁 Image
Smoker as well to smelt your food at twice the rate:

Gold, 👁 Image
Redstone Dust, 👁 Image
Lapis Lazuli, and most importantly, 👁 Image
Diamonds. These are some of the most important items in the game, providing uses in many different categories. Once you have found your cave or ravine, enter with caution! They can have huge drops and lots of hostile mobs in them, so make sure you have a lot of food spare beforehand. Let's take a look at that:
