[@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.

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)

[@EmperorZarikar]

I’ve been accused of using X-ray several times, but a single look at all the diamonds I’ve missed reveals exactly what kinda miner I am.

[@Imaproshaman7]

Neat. I loved the 3rd person camera angle. Really cool.

[@MannyBots]

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.

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.

i used to use mostly a bunch of stone pickaxes for heavy duty stone mining; a portable crafting table, some wooden planks to be readily made into sticks, some sticks to make torches & pickaxe, and the stones come directly from everywhere i dig alas i never progress much so far when i played minecraft, never got too much iron to spare - i keep my iron pickaxe for mining ores and diamond only

[@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.

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.

[@pyrosnineActual]

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.

[@Slender_Man_186]

I do a 4 way branch mine, I get down to -51, make a large central chamber, and I turn that into the main branch off point in 4 directions. For each of the main branches I leave a 2 space gap between each of the sub branches, meaning that no block goes unexposed. Once I felt I've gone far enough down a main branch, I'll go back to the central chamber to start another main branch. If I'm in need of more common resources like stone for building, I create a new main chamber so I have more main branches to work with.

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

[@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

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.

It takes a lot of time to build but it's insanely practical.

I'd probably be some weird mix of the branch miner enjoyer, with strip mining, but using red stone engineering; and my goals will be beyond your understanding. So giant chasm growing both downwards and outwards increasingly the further out the red stone reaches, effectively digging a pyramid strip mine with a small entry at the top of the pyramid, all of which branches out into new pyramids at set amounts of space between each. (like the branches are split apart by set amounts.) This is basically going to create a 3d fractal in the earth of minecraft.

As a branch miner... this made me reconsider something. I always checked leaving 2-wide gaps, but this video left 3-wide and... the only way that would miss diamonds is if the vein itself is 1-wide. I now have to check the possibility of that, because 3-wide would be a lot faster.

[@Thunderhawk51]

I'm definitely a straight line miner and a bit of cave miner too, but with straight line I always have this one big main tunnel and do straight lines from there on each side, like one giant branch mining. I usually go as far as I can or I find some diamonds. But often I just face a big lava pool and call it a complete line. And then start the next one 3 blocks away. And I usually do this long enough so I have both enough materials to build a mob xp farm and diamonds to make all the tools, armor, and other stuff. So it's not a waste either way.

[@ananaithnid7495]

I am a combination of cave miners, strip miners and straight line miners. I start with caves, I eventually start my enormous pit, and currently on my mate's Realm, I'm making the Deep Roads from Dragon Age, so my pile of diamonds, gold and iron have grown exponentially. Having been through a few worlds with my mate, he's come to realise there's two things that can be guaranteed in my corner of the world. 1) I will build on a mountain, usually a big bugger off tower. 2) I will have a massive pit to bedrock within the confines of my territory. I will also then proceed to start reshaping and fortifying the entire mountain range.

[@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 🤗

[@Redbeedrill]
