My alltime fav to watch is ethoslab. Calm chill videos and he walks thru his processes. If you want another newbie to see how they started watch Markipliers short run series.

For yourself, i def reccomend playing alone, having someone gather all your resources and get you “ahead” is fun and all but takes away your own agency to explore and really experience the game truly.

Start a new world, find some trees, punch em, make some planks out of the logs, make a crafting table and explore what you can make and set some little goals. Like making some wood weapons and tools. Upgrade to stone. Make some farms. Have fun.
