hey all! i have been playing pretty casually, but i’d like to know what i should be doing to get myself stronger. tbh all i have been doing is building nice bases, a few dungeons, and grabbing loot as i explore

i currently have sea serpent armor and a diamond crossbow, but in terms of melee weapons it tends to just be whatever i pick up that is iron or stronger. i am level 20 in armor and weapons, and a bit lower than that in everything else.

i have not taken down any dragons, and i do tend to die a lot to anything significantly stronger than a standard vanilla mob. i have a nether portal, but have not used it yet.

i have lots of enchanted books, but i have never been good at enchanting and i am kind of scared to use them, lol.

advice would be wonderful! please no judgment, i am not super experienced in anything outside of vanilla minecraft.
