Minecraft #2 - Digging the Mine (Part 1)
2Minecraft - Digging the Mine (Part 1)
Time to start the mine! This requires me digging down almost 50 blocks, and using most of a stack of TNT in this video alone. You can be sure to see lots of explosions in this video!
Long term goal of the mine? To supply me with tons of gold, redstone, and especially diamond.
Eventually the mine will have water flowing over all sides of it from the top to the bottom, which will work as a safe way down, as well as a large structure above the clouds overlooking it.
Also, the footsteps/echo I kept hearing at the beginning of this video... Were they from that squid thing rubbing against the bottom of that body of water?
An image and the below info about diamond mining was quoted from:
http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Diamond_Ore#A_real_case_example_of_diamond_ore_distribution
Diamond level is: 15 and below, but.....
Although diamond starts to appear from level 15 downwards, it is pointless to mine on that level; you should instead focus on the layers with the highest concentration of diamond, between levels 5-12. Oddly, there is slightly less diamond ore in the middle of that range (around layer 9).
A possible strategy for diamond mining would be to build a branching mine on level 11, and another one on level 7 or 6, having mining operations on where the peaks of diamond concentration are, while also covering neighboring layers with high diamond concentration.
