The very first step is to make a crafting table. In order to do so you will require to turn logs into wooden planks. Making of the planks will require you to place enough wooden logs in the crafting table as shown below, In the picture. Always remember that crafting table is an important thing to get every other supplies or sources you may require.
Step 2: Making of the Furnace
Pickaxe can be made in the furnace and furnace can be made by the cobblestones. You will need the handles in order to have sticks. You can use the crafting table that you made from the first step or you can also use the survival inventory crafting table. In the crafting table you need to place the two blocks of wooden planks on the very right side of the table. This Pickaxe will be needed to collect the cobblestone.
Step 3: Find the iron and coal (for fuel)
You will need seven pieces of iron for this whole process. Iron is a must needed material in everything you are going to craft in Minecraft. So whenever you are out to pick iron, pick the enough amount of it so you never run out of it. And to collect iron you will need a stone pickaxe. This could also be made by following the step 2. All you need to do is to replace the woods with the cobblestone. The picture shows the making of the stone-pickaxe.
There are several places where you can locate the coal and iron.

You need to follow the same pickaxe craft recipes to make an iron pickaxe. But there is a small change in it. You have to change the top row with the iron ingots.
Step 4: Finding of the Redstone
Finding a redstone is not that hard it could be found at lower Y levels than iron and coal (between bed-rock and Y level 16). You should go to revine to find the redstone or even mining on the proper Y level could also lead you to the redstones. This is the Last thing that you need for making a compass. Collect the one piece of it and follow the next and final step.
