Beward of Cuccos, the important thing to do is avoid Trees entirely, Creepers spawn near them really often. The only thing you ever need wood for is Boats, and they're sort of useless after a while. What you want to do is go out into the desert and hide for the first few nights right around some Cacti, that way monsters can't kill you. Sleep under the stars too, if you go indoors or somewhere unexposed you don't gain any fortitude xp. After the first few days, mobs will have lost your scent and you can start mining. Dig straight down from the desert, and yeah stone is hard to punch through at first, but you need to only use your fists and sand at this point. After going underground, find a pool of water and hide it until the mobs go away from inspecting the hole you made (PRO TIP: Water repels creepers) and then you can start mining.
