Lumberjacking Tips
There's an easy way to get most of the blocks from the trunk. Start by taking out
the two blocks just above the one that is on the ground. Then jump onto that block
andlookstraightup.Finishpunchingblocksoutoftherestofthetrunkaboveyou.
They'll fall on you and go straight into your inventory. When you've gone as high
as you can go, look straight down and take out the block on which you are stand-
ing. You can take out most tree trunks this way. If for some reason you can't jump
onto the block after you remove the two above it, you may need to clear out some
foliage directly above you.

You've already seen part of it: those nine slots showing at the bottom of the screen repres-
ent items you've already collected, such as the wood blocks from the trees, and perhaps a
sapling or two. However, this is only one-quarter of your total inventory.
