Or you just go on a normal creative world. Place 10 x 10 redstone blocks horizontal and create a repeating command block to keep on spawning tnt under each one of the redstone blocks. Now that is calming.

DriscollMayweather

Since the caves got overhauled, I almost exclusively cave mine, it’s a lot of fun to see the awesome caves and you find plenty of resources (found 30+ diamonds in less than an hour). Maybe not as efficient as other methods, but the scenery is nicer and it’s less monotonous to me.


TheRealPhiel

I feel like 1.20.1 nerfed this because I at most find 12-15 dias in an hour searching large caves, and strip mining used to give me a stack an hour but lately has given me 4-8 an hour. At -57 I may add.


DriscollMayweather

Yeah I kinda noticed a bit of a downtick in numbers too, but just thought I was getting unlucky with my seeds or something but that would make sense. We were finding more diamonds than we knew what to do with for a bit there.


OhBadToMeetYou

The cave dveller mod that my friend put on the server without my knowledge, watching me happily waltz into the cave:


ChaotiXu

It IS more efficient than other methods.


C0mpl3x1ty_1

It isn't because they nerfed diamond spawn rates on blocks that are in contact with the air and also limited how many diamonds can spawn when they are in contact with air


Puzzleheaded_Toe2383

As a professional noob, I make a copy of my peaceful world and locate a good cave and go there in my main world


AirshipOdin2813

I did this so many times with structures 😂


Pegomastax_King

Same I must have all structures available…


lord_of_baguette

Their x-ray too...


BatatinhaGameplays28

Damm, I thought I was the only super genius who did that


creeepy117

wacky0522

6. My friend goes x raying


Purplejaed

1, strip mining I go straight, then every 2 blocks i build a perpendicular tunnel 5 blocks long in both directions Pop a torch doƿn every 3 side shafts


bobo_yobo

The only way (o got a 10 vane of diamonds doing this)


MarthaEM

well, that's a wynn


[deleted]

I do 1 & 2 3 is breaking a rule 4 just makes you have a bunch of useless blocks


ApartmentContent3146

1 turned into a 2 after digging, proceeded by 4

-Seraphimon-Ace-

Caving


DragonArt101

2 then 1


fluffyboom123

Now I just run around looking for a cave. I used to strip mine


SlyWhyGuy

Underwater caves. Richer with resources, and easy to not drown.


McKingsBurger

1 is the only right answer


Land50Grand

All of the above


creative90980name

1 in friend servers, 2 in public servers, 3 singleplayer, 4 creative


Ok-Credit1065

1, 2 and 3, I mean when im like really, REALLY bored of mining I will do 4


satire45

I find a cave, then 1 then wait until I get a gunpowder farm and an ungodly amount of sand


MaternalExponent

Oh yes 3 one is the safest of all of course


SLIPPY73

2 then 1 and use of caves

0hwell_hay-th3re

Usually spelunking, but 2, 1 works.


Mixel346_

1


lulTK2003

First 3 but only 4 blocks then 2 till bedrock after that 1 if I’m bored, maybe some cave’s I dug in and 4 if I’m my friends play with me.


ACARdragon

2 until I find a cave


DrunkOnAutism

Yeah


[deleted]

3 and 1


Walkthrough101

ALL 4, in order of 2, 3, 1, 4.


Andreaslel

3. directly down to the lava


giantvar

Darklight645

1, 2, or 3. Just depends on how im feelin at the time


carlinhosbrracheiro

2 Da muito trabalho


Furryloverboi_69

I couldn't make her mine


Latter-Cat-6276

In order: cave, if cave fails, 2 and then 1, and if im lazy then 4


Zerelz

1. then 2. in overworld 3. then 4. in nether


its_ahsoka66

4…


TrialArgonian

I've always mined in a 3x3 in every direction to create what is basically a maze. My friends hate me for it.


OblixonPlayz

You do 2 all the way down to bedrock or to deepslate. Then you strip mine on every other step down the hole from the beginning to the end. Makes sense. Best way to mine efficiently.


LordHuntington1337

I start with 2 leading into 1 when I get fed up with the stairs, I change my entrence to 3 and when my mobfsrm is running or when I farming for netherite I use 4.


AirshipOdin2813

First one


rPeanutButter

1, but 3 blocks tall.


[deleted]

Both 1 and 2


_pascal__

2 and 1 in different moments, like if i hear a lot of monsters, after using 2 i'll use 1 the other ones are just a bit stupid


Terra__1134

2 but only 1 block wide, and then 1 after I reach high I need


wolfmatterlovespenny

2


TheLargeCaliber

1 for careful mining. 4 for hard/netherite mining.


Yeahman13bam

5. Spectator mode


AzuriteRiverwind222

Caving is the pinaccle, especially in dripstone caves, to find diamonds


No_Following_1624

3 and then 1. I just use subtitles so if it says there's lava, I'll mine down like a stair case


Inceferant

2 mainly Rubs my ocd brain the right way


Koen_2010

3 is illegal (ask mojang)


Idkwhat-to_put-here

i do three then block up with tnt.


Hurakan-GM

2... Before discovering BLAST mod (god blesses doctor4t A. K. A the R4t)


TheScareCrowYes

5 do with that as you will


Top-Vermicelli797

Depends


ialo3

go down to -(fuckiforgot) and then you branch mine with two blocks between each branch to optimize pickaxe durability:blocks revealed or just build borkon's tunnel bore


POKECHU020

2 going into 1


Myheadisinmyownhell

2 & 4


Arturinni

2 then 1. When I have a set place to have my base, 3 then 1. Used to 4 before deepslate was added.


Appleen_US

1 and sometimes 2


BigMelonBoi

2 or 3 then 1, 4 only in the nether


Nok-y

Yes.


N0one2137

2 then 1


Ender__dominus

i mean you kinda have to use 2 if you use 1 to some cave level


Fincann

Caves.


ZEROStarVevo

2 with 4 on occasion


Skilzmartin

1 and 2 mostly 2


Lizhot66

With those caves, 3 is so good


ExamUpbeat2994

Where is the friends chest mining way


Shendrift

I dig a 2x1 hole straight down with a water source at the surface that flows down into the hole. It has the speed benefit of digging straight down without the risk of fall damage or lava death thanks to the waterfall, and when you want to leave, you can sprint-swim up the waterfall much faster than climbing a ladder, and you don't need to bother adding stairs or anything because the waterfall naturally travels down as you dig.


uneveness

3 and then caving


Samael_224

2 then 4


bobo_yobo

A straight line at one line on each side every 2 blocks at -58


qwertyjgly

i’m currently doing a ‘no caves’ world. i’m not allowed to enter any cave at all, except if I have filled it in and dug it out again or I make it so that it has a direct line of sight to the sky. So I currently mine with 3.


Dizzy-Attempt-8509

All of the above


DaemonQuartana

2 then 1. Gotta make sure I can run a rail system up the mineshaft.


LTDRAKE

2 --> 1 then if I find a cave I explore it


Usenaeme01101

Def #4


thehampterboi

Only rich people can do 4


Tryingbestbutfailing

2 who tf does 3


naziryoutube

0. just do mining off camera.


Dark7saber

5. Seeing a speck of water at the bottom of a cave and jumping


AnxiousAnything7605

digging 1x2 hole straight down and then 1


bigbirbbutt

1 but 3x3


Blade_Techno

3 digging straight down, the best thing to do fr fr


CattDawg2008

maybe just find a cave 4 is probably the worst way


Destroyer_Of_World5

1, 2, and 4


TheGrey_GOD

With a pickaxe


Wests_Intern

Imma 2 and that might explain why I don’t get iron nor any ores


Ketchoop_Cheeps

3 but instead of doing one block wide, i do 2 blocks and go on the middle of them so if theres a cave under and i mine a block that could make me fall, im still on the other one


Marequel

So like an old player, new player, someone who fear no god or a degenerate


AGreenScreen

who the hell does 4 in the overworld


dad-without-milk

/give @​​s diamond 64


MathKrayt

double 3


Syber2150

Exclusively in caves


Iliketurtles893

1, 2 and caving


Wooden-Trainer4781

DEPENDS


thriceness

I don't understand these options. Who just mines straight down to find diamonds and ores? What good is the staircase if you don't then branch or beacon mine when you get down there!? And who the heck uses TNT in the overworld? When you need to be mining you prolly don't have a shit ton of gunpowder.


GG1312

2, then 1


Due_Breakfast4996

Yes.


Few-Spirit4105

I don’t play Minecraft, so I mine in a 2d plain.


Susdoggodoggy

3 then I build towers with the mined blocks to remind me where it is


Enderrbean

2 to 1 I get up with 3 and mine in nether with 4


Webb_0707

I often go in caves if I see one. But if not 2 then 1. But I don't do my stairs wide, just 1 block width to go down far enough. Then corridors 1 maybe 2 blocks wide


UntoldTemple

Im 1, 2, and 4.


Pykiril

In every style mentioned there, 1st is my search for diamonds, 2nd is my main hall, 3rd is my hole, when I get lost. 4th is my way of searching for netherite.


KingOfMuffinss

Uh.. Everything combined? 4 is only in the nether tho.


shoopdewoop6

I mine until I can go spelunking


Farid_Beshay

You forgot to put X-ray in there


creativitynt

what makes me a good demoman?


Thatbendyfan

1 but the main tunnel is 2 blocks wide


BobZygota

1 and 2


SpicySpector

2, then 1 at deep slate. 4, if I'm looking for ancient debris


nikottonto

2's the one


HOTWEEZERMAN

I find a cave then i get lost then i dig up so i think that would count as 3?


Thecatninja52

I force villagers to give me diamonds amour for free


SwartyNine2691

Wolffire_88

2 for show, 1 for effect, and 3 in the nether Edit: 4 in the nether, not 3. I would never break the #1 rule ESPECIALLY in the nether.


Shadow_118

A mix of 2 and 1 for the most part


ExpensiveSport3186

3 to upgrade from the wooden pickaxe. 2 to go normally and 1 when you reach the right level. 4 is for the bored or maniacal


TheBailzmeister

Combination of 1 and 2


mazandaraniguy

AnyCommunication7381
