I think that you will need cobblestones to make a furnace. once you have your furnace, be sure to get some sand. Bake your sand to get glass, then cover up your cave with it. This will make a very sufficient protection. Glass can protect you from monsters. There are so many out there like Creepers, Zombies and Skeletons. Be sure you make some strong weapons to fight all the monsters during the day and night.
