The game progress is to get a block of wood, craft planks, making crafting table, get more planks, make sticks, make wooden pickaxe with crafting table, get coal and cobblestone, make stone gear (stone pickaxe), make an oven, get three wool, make bed, now you are going to build a house or simple shelter, put bed down and sleep when nights comes
(This is the optimal first day, if one find a village, almost anything important can be skipped)
Now you are needing food and better equipment, so farming and caving will be it.
You get some iron in caves and melt them with oven and coal, get iron pickaxe and gear, try to get to the lower layers of the world, find diamonds and other ores, with diamonds your first thing to make is a pickaxe, if you got enough, than you get some obsidian and lighter, build a Nether portal, than the next step is going to happen, namely more farming with constructions, making potions and enchanting, you will want to level up and spend them on enchantings for your gear with an echanting table and rare ingredients for potions will be found in Nether a plenty.
The final stage is to farm endermen mobs for ender pearls, which help you to locate an underground stronghold, at the lowest layer of the stronghold there is a rim for more ender pearls, filling the rim, will create a dimension called The End, behind it there is no return, you will fight the final boss, the Ender Dragom, after the fight you can go back and the credits roll, now you are home again, but the end game starts now.
You can go back to The End and explore for structures to get some special things like a flying ability through Elytra and shulkers.
You can create a Wither totem, to spawn the end game boss Wither, also it's time to search through underwater temples.
The end game is just building farms and general more buildings you want to do. Well after that you could make a new world or start up the creative mode and create what you want.
