You can also get a similar effect to branch mining by simply doing a several long straight mine tunnels with two blocks width separating them

I don’t like straight mining so that’s why I find caves

[@OoOMisaChanOoO]

I'm a cave miner, since it gives me the opportunity to explore at the same time. Mining in a strip or anything like that bores me way too much

[@fadillah6014]

Also we can see what Minecraft world gen can offer.

[@wsleet]

yeah, plus it is less repetitive.

[@l692]

Before caves and cliffs I would strip mine but not anymore. I find that getting diamonds is so much faster in caves, especially if I have an elytra/ fireworks and night vision potions. It's much more entertaining and as deepslate takes that bit longer to break, I can't be bothered with strip mining that.

[@MrTyler189]

It is tedious

[@bobBob-oz5zc]

@@l692 That’s funny cause strip mining is BETTER than cave mining since Caves and Cliffs. They made it so that diamonds have reduced spawn chances when a side of the diamond ore block is touching air. Meaning you’ll get less diamonds exploring a cave then strip mining.

The way I play now, mostly cave mining, but I do like a good hole in the ground, so strip mining can be fun as well to spice it up. "My goals are beyond your understanding" on the other hand, I felt really targeted by lol because that's how I always used to play, and occasionally still do. I'll just dig tunnels til I find something, dig another random tunnel, occasionally get excited because I think I found something cool, turns out it's just my own tunnels again 😅

Classic lmao

[@jonathancole5179]

I do that too, lol.

[@ReggieMarshale]

There is a strategy to maximize the chance of finding ores (using maths). The method is to mine in a grid with 4x11 block gaps. As most ore veins are 3 block wide there is a very good chance that you’ll find some diamonds (I got this from the MC wiki)

[@HuntingSunder]

Definitely a 'my goals are beyond your understanding' person. If I get bored while digging I just turn to mix things up.

[@EmperorZarikar]

Pro tip :- If you want to stop any zombie from despawning but you don't have any nametag, you can give zombie anything which he can hold in his hand like any block, tool, armour piece, etc thing in Minecraft

Doesn't always work. Zombies require a tag to hold dropped items and only spawn with a 10% chance of having it.

God my mining style changes the deeper u go, it starts straight line, turns to branch, then to strip miner, my goals are beyond your understanding, and ends at cave miners, I have mined this way since 2014 and I have no idea why (although sometimes the order will be a bit different but for the most part follows that pattern)

[@Guidingsonar]

0:35 that touched my soul.... My older sister was so confused... I was also as I was lost in my elaborate tunnels.... That where also more around 5 blocks wide (Most of the time I would turn to avoid dealing with dirt and gravel, before the caves update!)

[@Manny-zk4xe]

I've got one for you, though it has two parts. The Patient/Methodical Miner: Finds the diamonds and takes only enough to make a Pickaxe and Enchanting Table. Then leaves the rest there until they have a Fortune III or Silk Touch Pick. After Enchanting they: 1) Return to the diamonds to mine the ore with a Silk Pick to take to the surface, store the ore for later, or place the ore to then mine it all again but this time with a Fortune Pick. 2) Takes the Fortune Pick into the mines first to get enough diamonds for gear, then uses Silk Touch before placing the ore storage to keep for later use.

[@aaronjaeger6861]

I usually start out with a vertical shaft either 3*3 or 5*5 with the center on a location where the x,z coordinates both end in 00. Once I reach y-11 I dig 3*3 tunnels North, South, East and West 100 blocks in each direction till I end up with a giant 2*2 grid. I then straight mine each grid with horizontal shafts 2 high 1 wide spaced two three blocks apart.

[@mbrsart]

Straight line mining is fine if you start from a central location and do a new line every 3 blocks. Sometimes you'll get stuff you miss when doing just poke holes.

[@shycomforter7414]

Cave mining is just the best. It's way more active and fun to explore a cave, and I seem to find way more stuff than I ever do when using a mining technique

[@SuperBupDX]

Nobody ever talks about how i used to do it, i called it grid mining. It was diging 4 blocks to the side after getting to y 11, then digging 3 forward then to the other side then back to the entrance leaving 8 blocks, it revealed more blocks on the top and bottom in-between the strips. However since caves are so much bigger, caving is the best way now, but now i have to wonder. How many diamonds are being deleted by the giant cave rooms?

[@professionalkek8937]

Do you mean in a T shape or what exactly do you mean by 3 forward then to the side? Sounds like a good strategy to me

I personally dig a 3x3 square, that way the mineshaft doubles as an underground passage, and has more surface to expose. Obviously, it's easier to do in modded Minecraft with a hammer, but it still is my go-to method without a hammer.

[@brendan5260]

I use baritone to create 3x3 tunnels exactly two blocks apart from eachother. this ensures all valuables are found and brought back, with enough deepslate to build a thousand bases. Two birds, one gigantic stone.

[@EclipseShadowScale]

my goals are beyond your understanding reminds me of when i would turn any time i encountered dirt or gravel, but otherwise mined straight

[@Faolan_Grey]

The branch miner was doing it wrong lmao. Supposed to be 2 block gap between branches not 3, since you can't see the middle line that way.

I cave mine whenever I find a cave system. I typically also keep a strip mine under my house so that I can mine safely when I want, as well as have a steady source of cobblestone.

We need an addition for the large-scale technical players, who at some point aren't even mining, we just make huge lovecraftian horror-type slimestone machines that reduce the server to 2 TPS every time it's activated

[@thecrazycapmaster]

I’m a branch miner who often does my branch mining before I have anything enchanted, so I typically leave the diamonds in the mine and clear out around the entire pile of ores, then take a couple diamonds with me upstairs and come back for the rest a little later. Also ensures I don’t drop lava on myself while mining the diamonds 🤣

[@T33K3SS3LCH3N]

Cmbine straight and branch mining by mining in a zig-zag pattern: X blocks forward, some blocks to the right to the side, dig back X blocks parallel to the original tunnel with two blocks seperating the two tunnels.

[@NuningMinie]

"My Goal Are Beyond Your Understanding" is just so accurate

[@croabadark]

I have a friend who's the Goals Beyond Understanding type. Generally not recommended to go down into his tunnels unless he's leading you because not only does he spend hours at it he somehow has a perfect map of it in his head.

[@PinkyZKey]

Ever since the caves update, every time I go back to my old branch mining I wind up cave mining, because I can't dig 10 blocks in without hitting a cave anymore.

Strip mining can be tedious, but that industrialist feeling kinda makes me enjoy it. But then suddenly you dig into cave mining, and all bets are off.

[@SeddyAm]

From my first Minecraft play from being straight miner to branchings and to beyond of understanding.

[@Krveeden]

You forgot one.... Moss Miners Uses Moss and Bonemeal to strip away layers of rock into Moss, harvest the moss to turn into more Bonemeal, and if there is any ore you want exposed, mine it before moss bonemealing again. Similar to strip mining I guess

[@RedFlavoredPie]

when you branch you gotta do 2 spaces so you don't miss the inbetween stuff

[@shadowproductions969]

the idea with 3 is usually if there is a vein, it'll be 2 deep and you see it on one side or the outer

[@jacoblineberry1788]

I like to dig straight until I find a valuable ore. From there, I mine all of the ore and change direction based on which direction had more ore. If I dug more to the right, I head right. If I dug into the left wall more, I head left. And, I counted Iron, Gold, Diamonds, and Emeralds as rare ore. If I found caverns or mines, I'd hopefully have some kinds of doors, switches, or pressure plates with me to make a path to note I could come back later. From there, I'd turn around and use go straight through the entirety of the maze I just made, leaving signs at the first of every intersecting interval so I could find my way back. Then, I'd do the same process in reverse to mark where to take tracks for a minecart.

[@stuffedmuffins]

I think you forgot the “dig-straight-downers”.

[@TheSpencermacdougall]

I doubt it's very efficient, but My mining method is to create 3x3 tunnels with one block bewteen each tunnel. I use one tunnel till it either becomes too long to easily travel, or it becomes blocked by lava. This is mostly "I got used to mining 3x3 tunnels when useing Tinkers construct Hammers and don't want to change it now."

[@MerlynMusicman]

Im probably not getting into the spirit of things but after the enchanting table I tend to (ab)use villagers for diamond gear, and re-enchant it optimally. By that time I can just pickup whatver diamonds I find in chests for things like a jukebox.

[@_wheeler8601]

[@lisamain3723]

I'm both Strip Mining Enjoyer and Cave Miner, because I could gather up many materials by digging out an entire chunk as a project and by Cave Mining I could possibly find something exposed on caves such as dungeons and many other loaded content inside the game

My goals are beyond your understanding! Na, I'm mining out chunk boundaries in a grid. Sometimes I go in a straight line for a few chunks in a row. Has higher than normal odds of stumbling into diamonds 💎 and I can branch into the chunk easily if I really want them. I may or may not strip everything in reach down there for underground bases.

[@calhoun3907]

What I've been doing is mining down, not straight down though. I reach bedrock, then I go up either by every 5 blocks or every 10 blocks and mine on both sides of the stairs, 3 vertical, 4 horizontal. I do that until I get whatever amount of ores I want.

[@Cyrus_T_Laserpunch]

I'm a mineshaft miner. I make a 9x9 strip mine hole, then branch out like I'm making a mineshaft. Though I usually do this when looking for iron, it feels very satisfying. For diamonds I just cave mine. Minecraft is about the fun, not the grind.

[@Regunes]

[@5stargrim]

My friend and I made a world together about ten years ago, and I still use it now. With zero shadow of a doubt, we were both “my goals are beyond your understanding” miners.. I play it a few times a month, and haven’t been in the mines in about 3 years. The reason is simple: there is no rhyme or reason to them, and the last time I went in, it took my three hours to find my way out by eventually just digging to the surface.

[@5stargrim]

To anyone wondering how I build stuff: I generally mine very, very far from home now. The world is old, so I need to do that anyway to get to the good, updated stuff. My trick is a series of nether portals to get as far out as possible.

[@ITHrealXD]

The “my goals are beyond you understanding” miner is just avoiding every diamond possible

[@VarmintLP]

To be fair when I was young I did the one where it was something with beyond your understanding. Nowadays it's a mix between staight mining and cave mining. I do mine straight, 5-7 blocks high and then at some point I either do some strip mining or I start a second straight line.

[@tantilist1449]

Tip for branch mining: Mine one hundred blocks out and only put torches every ten blocks to save on items. Then every ten blocks going back to your starting point mine another 100 blocks branching out. You can get up to 1000 blocks coverage with a single branch mine. You're welcome 🤗
