2017年9月14日 · This comes out to about one diamond ore every 59 blocks mined, or about 4.3 diamonds per iron pickaxe and 26.5 per diamond pickaxe (x2.2 if Fortune III is used; even without Fortune you'll use only about 1/9 of your mined diamonds on new pickaxes, which can be reduced further if Unbreaking is used, for as many as 233 diamonds per pickaxe).

I strip mine a hundred or so blocks from the main corridor and then create another corridor at the end. This gives me an end point to work my way back down towards the main corridor again. Reply reply More replies

I still strip mine. Though, I have also taken to making TNT flying contraptions (or flying bed contraptions in the nether) for an alternative. I do a lot of my builds underground, so clearing space out often needs a lot of strip mining. So, short answer: play and have fun and the technique is …

2020年9月23日 · There are still some good reasons to branch-mine (note: "strip mine" is a very popular term but it is technically incorrect); it is much safer due to no mobs (aside from silverfish) and it is much easier to find rare resources like diamond; even with as many ores as I mine I only find around 3-4 diamonds per hour; for comparison, branch-mining ...

2022年12月22日 · To be honest, strip mining is really hard now a days because of the cave update easis thing to do is go to around y -14 or -11, if you have water use that to create a 1x1 so that way you're mining less. Then basically search for open caves and mine out diamonds there.

Caving seems faster because you spend less time digging through stone, but in my experience the amount of time you spend wandering around lighting things up, dealing with mobs, and outside the y levels you want to be at for the ores you're after makes branch mining actually be the faster option.

2013年4月16日 · Strip Mining : Tedious and boring. But it is extremely safe. I recommend this if you have suckish fighting skills or no armor. Cave Mining: Slightly Dangerous. Most efficient way to get almost most ores in Minecraft. It saves up more than half of the durability of your pickaxe. Shaft Mining: A tad bit dangerous than Cave Mining due to Cave Spiders.

2022年10月24日 · That being said, with the gigantic cave generation currently in the game, spelunking is generally going to be faster than strip Mining. Strip mining is safer IMO as you don’t have to worry about creepers or other mobs as much. Just keep in mind the Ore distribution map changed and you’ll have to go in Deepslate for max diamonds.

2014年7月12日 · The most efficient strip mine (as far as blocks mined versus diamonds gained) is level 11, mining 2 blocks high in one direction endlessly. But level 11 puts you at risk of mining into lava, so I mine at 13.

2024年2月15日 · For real, I could spend hours and hours day after day strip mining. But I have almost completely stopped for a few reasons: 1 - Deeplslate is slow to break. Even with a good pick, it takes such a long time to tunnel through deep slate. 2 - You can find a lot of diamonds just exposed in the large caves now.
