Two things to day about the mining trip, that raw iron block and all the iron and tuff around it is part of a large iron vein, and can have around 2000 iron ore, which makes it a great find! the other thing is that you will have to go mining above y:0 for coal, as coal does not spawn below y:0 at all (which also makes deepslate coal ore an incredibly rare block, ironically) Hope this helps!

You won’t find coal AT ALL below Y zero. Mountains are your best choice for that. There are some city sized caves in this update though, so that should be doable. A deep hole covered by carpet, with spikes at the bottom, would be such a nice addition to Grian’s build. You should look into that. With the right setup, using signs and a piston, I’m sure he would get a deep appreciation for your effort. 😁👍

as much as I agree with you, the Hermits are all in close proximity this season, there is a good chance that most of the "exposed caves" have been looted early on. so the best option would be to strip mine to avoid wasting time on caves that have already been looted, plus there is a good chance that he can get an unexplored cave by strip mining too

by the way if you go caving above -56 but below 0 you'll find tons more diamonds because now they are a lot more easier to find in caves. Also if you suface mine in the stony sort of mountains for iron and coal (like grian did) you'll find stacks upon stacks of iron and coal

40:43 paint that entire cliff face a bright, non-natural color, or a giant Iskall face, overlooking the spawn, so everyone knows where you live. This will create traffic to your home. You could include the two giant eyes already in place. Otherwise, you will descend into anonymity for the season. And nobody wants that.

Guys, guys, guys, you must've never heard of flooded caves. It's true that diamonds generate less when exposed to air, but nothing was said about water. You can find a lot of diamonds underwater. And I must say, even if strip mining is faster, it is NOT a fun experience. Pre-1.18 mining felt pretty rewarding, as you were always finding something new, whether it's diamonds, lapis, gold, iron or even coal. In 1.18 however, strip mining feels like it's taking forever and overall is just an underwhelming process. You're mining for a very long time through tons of deepslate, which is also a bit slower to mine, and after minutes of not finding anything you would start to feel demotivated. And also caves in 1.18 are MASSIVE, don't underestimate the chances of finding diamonds in them. They're lower, but they're not low.

@VVVVIVIVI

2 жыл бұрын

@@limonlx7182 Honestly I find cave mining so much better in 1.18 for diamonds. In one massive cave I found over half a stack of diamonds in less than an hour and I only found 1 or 2 veins in a similar time frame while strip mining. Only thing to take into account really is that the exposed diamond ore veins have less total ores, but they feel more common to find than ever.

@@VVVVIVIVI exactly! People seem to underestimate caving in 1.18, but as I said, just because the chance of exposed diamonds is lower, doesn't mean it's low.

For mining you should try going down a cave from the surface, as there will be more blocks exposed in the deepslate (which is hard to mine) so it is more efficient than branch mining
