Minecraft wiki entry for Your_first_10_minutes, associated text: You should keep your eyes and ears open for animals such as chickens, cows, sheep, pigs, and especially wolves, which can be domesticated at a later point in time. You don't want to punch the wolves by accident. If you do, they will become hostile. You will need to find some animals in a couple of minutes. Take note if there isn't any water in sight.
