I don’t know if a list like this has been done yet: Y Levels to mine at: Coal: 136, 95 Copper: 48 Iron: 15, 232 Lapis: -1 Gold: -16 Emerald: 236 Redstone: -57, -58 Diamond: -57, -58 Overall: 8, -57, -58 Strip mining tunnels: 2 or 5 blocks apart, 200x100 blocks Bring a Silk Touch Pickaxe! Moss mining: Place moss in a cave, bonemeal it so it spreads, and mine the moss Deep dark mining: Remove skulk shreikers and mine the skulk Mining under an ancient city: Set spawn point and make an escape route Fossil mining: Using Chunkbase, find fossils and mine the ores Spawn proofing in cave: Place torches 12 blocks apart Spawn proofing in strip mine: Place torches 24 blocks apart
17:30 a great tip with torches in your strip mine! ALWAYS place the torches on the right side. This makes your tunnels mutch more easy to navigate. Because if the torches are on the right you are going foreward and if the torches are on the left side your going back to your exit. This helps me so mutch because I always tend to stripmine in 1 long long long line so I end up running like 3k blocks back. Before I used this trick I could get distracted maybe turned around or something and I have ended up running the wrong way. Now I always place them right and when I go back I just have to keep the torches left. And its looks better!
The best method that worked for me by far was water cave diving, I would bring with me a magma block or a door (For an air source). Often water caving will lead to huge caves that are filled with diamonds. I would also bring with me many potions of night vision. This is extremely helpful. Yes more mobs spawn but they are easy to avoid and if you're in a huge cave, it is easier to spot diamond blocks with the night vision than with torches.
Water is annoying but it's definitely easier to deal with occasional drowned than having to light up a cave. Sadly now skeletons fall into the water and sink down to shoot at me xD

Love the way how you made the videos so informative and interesting, the guides are unbeatable. Also ending the video with dying in game never gets boring
thank you for referring to bedrock and the nuances with java in your videos. Most creators seem to play java despite the player numbers for bedrock being higher, and few will detail the differences. as a (now) bedrock player, this allows me to enjoy your videos and despite playing since beta you're always teaching me something new. As for the 4k,it was a nice step up, especially on the wider shots 👍
Mining Diamonds at -54 (instead of deeper) helps with the annoying lava lakes. This is the exact surface level of 99.9% of lava lakes so just bring a water bucket and continue as if there was no lake there at all.
12:59 I'd suggest bringing some magma blocks as you can stand on those for air, and they allow you to mine as if on land when you're in the bubble column. :] it's how i survive deep underwater caves since it's not easy going back up for air and in bedrock doors are waterlogged lol
Silk touch mining is great, and for things like Lapis, I'd highly recommend it. However, in other situations, Fortune may still be viable to bring in caves. Usually what I will do is mine up as many ores as I can and as soon as I get more than 1 stack of ore, I compress it into block form. This works with every single material type in the game except for quartz, which you wouldn't get in the overworld, obviously. In general, it may be more efficient than holding onto the silk-touched ores. For example, 64 diamond ore holds at minimum 64 diamonds, and with fortune 3 giving maximum of 4 each, thats 256 diamonds effectively held in 1 slot. However, diamond blocks hold 9 each, which is 576 potential diamonds per slot. Of course, you gotta do the compression manually, but early game this is ideal. Just food for thought. Great video!
So I would have to bring in a crafting table right? But it's nothing compared to the advantage we would get with being able to store 576 ores per slot!
@@94D33M yep! Still though, for long expeditions it's totally worth it! Later on you could also bring an Ender Chest or shulker boxes to furthur help with storage. It would be cool if we could have personal ender chests so you could hopper out of them into whatever storage system you've got but I doubt that will exist outside of mods.
That's actually a neat touch with the coal and diamonds. Under immense pressure for years the carbon from coal can turn it into a diamond. So the fact you can get both from diamonds is nice
I love these guides because they always teach me something new, even if I think I’m a expert at things like mining. I also love the chill mood that these videos give, along with the music
The only problem I have with 1.19 is that they made mining into a form of pain, because of the new cave generation. Like the cave is so big that any ore on the roof/wall is a kick in the nuts to get. Then since there's more stone to get through, it'll be difficult to get a nice mix of most ores.
Omg im so glad im not the only one who dislikes the update. These giant caves are so hard to explore early in game and thats all I can find. I can barely find good stuff. I remember mining for an hour getting 2 stacks of iron from a ravine and now i barely hit 15
Miner's poem, by Steve maybe: "If you are digging underground, 8 is where all ores are found. If only coal is what you seek, venture to a mountain peak: 136 above the deep, or 95 where coal you'll reap. 48 for copper's luster, 16 is sure to iron usher, and from the caves into the cliffs, 2-3-2 to get your fix. And now with you a shield to hold, un-16 to find some gold. Un-1 is where lapis hails, and to 236 to make some sales. Diamonds are the final aim; redstone too if you've a brain. If one of these you wish to claim: un-58, they're both the same."
once again phenomenal guides, esp coal. ever since caves and cliffs coal has been a rare resource to me while caving, even more so in 1.19 i knew it spawned higher but having the exact levels is so helpful. charcoal is great but I'd really rather use my wood for.. idk.. *building?* also tip to others: *get coal before you go mining.* grab every bit of coal you see if you're planning to go to lower y levels, maybe a couple blocks at least. i cannot count how many times ive had to stop an expedition bc i had no more torches/fuel and ran out of logs for charcoal lol
I appreciate you taking the time to show the chunk without stone to help us understand the distribution chart better, also mining with moss is so smart, great video again my dude
These are the best videos I’ve watched , you explain everything in great detail and get right to the point, it’s always easy to follow along with your videos while trying to accomplish a task, keep it up!!!
I've definitely gotten better at mining over the years. 24 blocks between torches is also very convenient. I've found out I just need to mine as far as I can reach (5 blocks) 5 times, and then place a torch on the wall and keep going. It's a nice rhythm too :) 1111111111...5 torch 1...
When Mining at layers that are dominantly/completely deepslate, i find a Fortune pickaxe to be better, because cobbled deepslate can be cut into every variant of the deepslate block with the stonecutter, and normal Deepslate obtained with Silk Touch can only produce ~4ish blocks. This seems odd because the opposite is true for Stone/Cobblestone. However, this will mean that you will fill your inventory will a lot of raw materials, so I just be sure to bring a crafting table and slap it down now and again to craft raw materials into their storage blocks, saving inventory space. This is only a good method if you like the Deepslate block variants of course.
@@feudalocean8428 iron pickaxes are embarrassingly slow in deepslate. Take some time to mine iron then enchanted with efficiency, unbreaking and fortune/ silk touch. Keep repairing when low.

@@gigachad7205 I was never intending iron. I meant a unbreak 3 efficiency 4 diamond pic that isn’t needed for fortune or silk touch. This doesn’t really matter tho considering how easy mending is to obtain

0:03 and 1.17 ! It added raw ores, made fortune work on iron and gold, and added moss which as you showed in previous video, can be used to instamine the exposed layer of block caves to exposes hidden ores veins. 1.17 best version 🤩
Actually the main reason I watch your video is because of you soothing voice. It's so calm. Thanks dude. Just a suggestion I know you have a let's play series. But can you bring it up to the main stream. With new update. I'll hooked to hear and watch you play a survival Minecraft. Keep up the good work.
Take a composter with you for moss mining (maybe a station with a chest/hopper/composter/hopper/chest). You can get more bonemeal to keep going by bonemealing your moss. I know it's common in minecraft to call branch mining strip mining, but strip mining is when you take the top layers of dirt and stone off to get to the veins below. The minecraft equivalent would be world eaters. I know it can seem pedantic, but if, in real life, everyone goes around thinking strip mining is running around underground and a company comes to town saying they are going to strip mine people are going to be in for a surprise when their entire landscape is ripped up.
This helped out a ton surprisingly, normally when I click on these types of videos I either get distracted cause of adhd during the vid or when doing what I saw in game. Didn't happen once during this entire video and learned a ton. I recently went to 1.19 after being 'stuck' in the 1.16 update so I didn't know much about the new things and as a result of jumping a few updates there was a ton of new things thrown at me. I will definitely check out other videos of yours.
I came back about 4 months ago and you and jcplayz have literally made the game playable for me. I love building farms and automating everything. The problem was I didn’t even know where to start to even begin manual farming when I came back. You and him have helped not only me but everyone like me. Thank you
I was just gonna skip to the diamond part, but his voice was just so soothing I watched all the way through! Ty for this guide it’s actually really helpful :D
For the silk touch part, something that I would recommand is mining nether gold ore with silk touch pickaxe and then burn it in a furnace, it'll give a gold ingot, which is worth 9 golden nugget, while mining a nether gold ore with a fortune 3 pickaxe will "only" give you up to 8 golden nuggets
Thank you so much. I was about to search for a video exactly like this, and you delivered with a notification in my bell. Thanks so much for the detailed video, I cant wait to go find way more gold and diamonds
I just opened Minecraft and created a new world (haven't played since 1.16). I was mining at Y12 and was not finding ANYTHING lol. Glad I looked this up and found your video, I had no idea we had negative Y now!! XD
Here I am 13 years later, having to relearn how to mine... Who would have thought? Anyway, Superb video. I'm glad you actually covered techniques as well, since this whole air exposure thing is something that would otherwise be a really difficult thing to remember for me, especially if you consider I have to rid myself of decade old habits. Like prior to this I was playing and realized I can't find diamonds and coal, essentially making smelting and cooking a nightmare and I was sitting in front of my PC looking at my screen and going "Where in God's name is literlly anything remotely useful?" And then it clicked that the updates I literally started a New World for - after last playing in 1.16 - might have changed it, since, I don't know, maybe the whole cave generation was changed? It baffles me how dumb I can be. Anyway, thanks. You convinced me to sub.
Important to note that all caves below y=-54 get filled with lava so it’s best to strip mine above that so u don’t get covered in lava Also it’s best to use a trapdoor to go into crawl mode and mine a 1x1 strip mine instead of a 1x2 since ur exposing more blocks per block mined and mobs can’t spawn in a 1x1 tunnel
I haven't played minecraft in atleast 6 years, and I've been playing again recently on 1.19 bedrock so all your videos have been extremely helpful catching up to all the new stuff in the game
THANKS KING! ive been having such a hard time finding anything because of the new update and ive been playing since i was little LMAO, so this was incredibly helpful
This isn't much related to the video, but some people say that they miss how simple minecraft was before. I understand how they feel, but for me I like the stuff that have been added recently. More dangers, huge caves (although sometimes annoying trying to find your way back out), and just many new biomes. If I ever get bored of the newer versions I can just go back to an older version at any time
It does, but only if they are very Rare like Ancient Debris, as they still generate randomly in Chunks. So, if you are looking for Deepslate Ores, the best place to find them is along a 2x3 Horse Path along Chunk Borders at Y 2,3, & 4 under Mountains. While this is not the best Level to find most of the Deepslate Ores, it is the best place to find Deepslate Coal, and Deepslate Emeralds still generate there under Mountain Biomes as well. And if you can Automate a few Geode Clusters within Range nearby, you can use the Horse Paths to later set up a Rail Collection System for them. And use Silk Touch to Mine them with if you want the Deep Slate varieties. Or just set up a Beacon and clear the whole area. Then you can check for Slime Chunks as well, lol.
@@_Abjuranax_ These are definitely good advices, and I shall put them to the test. Since the cave update, I'm really struggling with mining. Before that, all you had to do is go down Y11, put a beacon there, and quickly gather anything you need by waving your pickaxe towards anything it can touch (and easily locate slime chunks in the process). But with the deepslate, we can kiss the speed-mining goodbye. And the new ore distribution makes it impossible to find every types on the same level. Yeah, I know: that's the intent. But that deepslate is killing me.
Thank you since caves and cliffs came I was so confused where to find diamonds to the point where I have only a few diamonds and this vid has been the most helpful in understanding where to mine
Strip mining and branch mining are 2 different things. Strip mining is where you strip everything out, whereas branch mining is what you are referring to as strip mining.
Thanks for all the videos, they have helped me a lot. ive used a lot of your micro farms in my world. I came when you were at 23k subs and to see you hitting 100k already is well earned!
Watched another video that recommended Y being at 8 for the best Iron. Went to 8 and tunneled and found nothing. Watched this video that recommends Y 15, so I tried that. A few blocks into tunneling I found a large chunk of iron. Thanks dude.
Thank you very much! I was so confused when I have started to play on 1.19 and couldn't find as much resources as I could in previous versions of 1.18 :( Mining is my favourite thing to do in minecraft and I'll definetly check these coordinates out :)
When I mine diamonds I usually go to Y coordinate level -54 and one time gathered two stacks of 64 diamonds with (obviously) using Fourtune III pickaxe strip mining. What the -54 coordinate level essentially means is whenever I come across lava the lava will always be on the floor as opposed to the ceiling or the front. However, this is using the strip mining method which means there will be times where one might come across the deep terraria-like corruption biome, the troll will spawn in and kill you. So yea, that's another good method I found for strip mining but it has its downsides as well like I said with the warden spawning in and killing you.
Technically, calling that "strip mining" is wrong, but it's so entrenched now that it's not going to change. Strip mining is when you go on top of a mountain and start taking it out from the top down. :)
So I keep getting confused on which is Java and which is bedrock edition and the difference. Could you do a video on that. Because I usually play Minecraft on my Xbox one series s
I was waiting for someone to make this video, specially removing the stone and other common blocks to actually see ore distribution in lower levels. Really cool video
I just started playing this game again. Last time played it was around a decade ago. Diamond is so rare I found around 20 before I decided to use an app to just find em for me. There’s so much new in the game that I don’t even understand lmao
Literally havent played since 1.14- so this helps a lot! Just started a new world 3 days ago, made a quick iron farm and now I think im ready for diamonds >:D
Reduced air exposure *does* apply to water caves, contrary to what you said in the lapis segment. So water caves are a great place to find reduced air exposure ores.
I must have said that wrong in the videos, I did mean that water filled caves are a great place to mine. Also I saw this comment and was like is that actually seaofpixels? and yea it is lol :)
12:12 I just bring a crafting table and turn everything into blocks (other than iron and gold as they need smelted) I think it saves more room in your inventory and you’re not mining your ores twice with 2 picks
I like to go mining for strictly copper with a fortune pickaxe and turn it into copper blocks while mining. Then when I get back set up an auto smelter, let it smelt for like 2-3 runs, and just break the furnace whenever I need levels quickly
First ever video in 4K and the editing is a bit different, would love to hear your thoughts on it :)

But can you bring it up to the main stream. With new update. I'll hooked to hear and watch you play a survival Minecraft. Keep up the good work.
Thanks very much man. I’ve had so many struggles trying to mine for diamonds and I had no clue about the chunk finder. This was a very big help
Take a composter with you for moss mining (maybe a station with a chest/hopper/composter/hopper/chest). You can get more bonemeal to keep going by bonemealing your moss.
I know it's common in minecraft to call branch mining strip mining, but strip mining is when you take the top layers of dirt and stone off to get to the veins below. The minecraft equivalent would be world eaters. I know it can seem pedantic, but if, in real life, everyone goes around thinking strip mining is running around underground and a company comes to town saying they are going to strip mine people are going to be in for a surprise when their entire landscape is ripped up.
Holy crap thank you for this. I was kinda lost after the Caves and Cliffs so this is very helpful!
No problem!
This helped out a ton surprisingly, normally when I click on these types of videos I either get distracted cause of adhd during the vid or when doing what I saw in game. Didn't happen once during this entire video and learned a ton. I recently went to 1.19 after being 'stuck' in the 1.16 update so I didn't know much about the new things and as a result of jumping a few updates there was a ton of new things thrown at me. I will definitely check out other videos of yours.
This is super useful. Thanks. I skipped 1.17 and 1.18 as I wanted a more full experience.
Glad it helped!
I skipped since 1.14
I came back about 4 months ago and you and jcplayz have literally made the game playable for me. I love building farms and automating everything. The problem was I didn’t even know where to start to even begin manual farming when I came back. You and him have helped not only me but everyone like me. Thank you
Just found your channel. Getting back into Minecraft after a year or two hiatus and WOW they changed a lot. Your videos are very helpful
I was just gonna skip to the diamond part, but his voice was just so soothing I watched all the way through! Ty for this guide it’s actually really helpful :D
Bro, That's what I needed thank you so much Man! And quality of the content is getting better day by day!
Glad to hear it!
For the silk touch part, something that I would recommand is mining nether gold ore with silk touch pickaxe and then burn it in a furnace, it'll give a gold ingot, which is worth 9 golden nugget, while mining a nether gold ore with a fortune 3 pickaxe will "only" give you up to 8 golden nuggets
Since the big part of coal generation has reduced air exposure, wouldn't it be better to find coal under snowy peaks with a shovel ?
In that cases yes finding it by eye isn't possible, oops ^^
No because the distribution of coal you find in mountains doesn't have reduced air exposure, only the lower coal distribution has that
@@Eyecraftmc ah right, thanks !
Thank you so much. I was about to search for a video exactly like this, and you delivered with a notification in my bell. Thanks so much for the detailed video, I cant wait to go find way more gold and diamonds
Y-58 diamonds
Y 15 more iron
Y -1 Lapis
Y -16 gold
Y -58 red stone
Yup
Thanks
Thanks
I love these tutorials and your voice is soothing
Coal, 136 or 95, Stoney peeks, extreme hills
Copper, 48, Dripstone biome
Iron, - 64 to 70,
(Most at 16)(Veins - 8 to - 64)
Diamond, 15 - -64,
(Best at - 58)
Best higher level: 8
Best lower level : -58 (Redstone,Dia,Iron,Gold)
Just wanna say that your channel help a lot for newbie like me. The explanation just straight to the point. New subscriber right here!
I believe water submerged caves count as “reduced air exposure” and they are easy to navigate as well as find diamonds in
Moss mining is something I didn’t think of or heard of, so thanks for tip of that! It’ll definitely make mining easier
For diamonds, my personal favourite level is y-54. It's like the og y11, where your on level with lava lakes
True
I just opened Minecraft and created a new world (haven't played since 1.16). I was mining at Y12 and was not finding ANYTHING lol. Glad I looked this up and found your video, I had no idea we had negative Y now!! XD
Haven't even seen it yet but this guy makes incredibly informational guides so I know it will be very dandy to use
Thanks!
The visual of the snapshot, but built in the game itself, is really nice. Also cool seeing all the ores isolated in the world generation
Ok let’s be honest. Who’s gonna go mining for copper? 😂😂😂
Wait till 1.21 @elliotkim174. Copper grates, doors, trapdoors, trial chambers, you get it.
Me
Me
Anyone butt me
Not me copper sucks
Here I am 13 years later, having to relearn how to mine... Who would have thought?
Anyway, Superb video. I'm glad you actually covered techniques as well, since this whole air exposure thing is something that would otherwise be a really difficult thing to remember for me, especially if you consider I have to rid myself of decade old habits.
Like prior to this I was playing and realized I can't find diamonds and coal, essentially making smelting and cooking a nightmare and I was sitting in front of my PC looking at my screen and going "Where in God's name is literlly anything remotely useful?"
And then it clicked that the updates I literally started a New World for - after last playing in 1.16 - might have changed it, since, I don't know, maybe the whole cave generation was changed?
It baffles me how dumb I can be. Anyway, thanks. You convinced me to sub.
Important to note that all caves below y=-54 get filled with lava so it’s best to strip mine above that so u don’t get covered in lava
Also it’s best to use a trapdoor to go into crawl mode and mine a 1x1 strip mine instead of a 1x2 since ur exposing more blocks per block mined and mobs can’t spawn in a 1x1 tunnel
I deal with this pretty easily: go to spectator mode, make sure i'm safe from lava.
@@JadeIsBunny that's cheating.
@@based854 Don't you mean "cheats have to be enabled for that"? Am I talking to a child?
@@JadeIsBunny Thats cheating
@@MicroondasSupremo I will be tried at the hague for my crimes
wow. i was in my mc world tryna get diamonds as soon as possible and went to -58 started strip mining and got diamonds instantly ty so much!
What commands did you use to get rid of the stone and deepslate but leave the ores?! That's so cool! I'd love to play around with that in my world.
its /fill replace or something replace stone grass dirt deepslate water lava granite andesite diorite with air
@@poggersman3346 awesome, thanks!
I haven't played minecraft in atleast 6 years, and I've been playing again recently on 1.19 bedrock so all your videos have been extremely helpful catching up to all the new stuff in the game
I also started again recently, my survival skills have gone extremely down
Very helpful video they are amazing keep it up
Thanks, will do!
Your voice is so good and soothing!
Is Minecraft starting to be a little too complex?
It's rated 12 That's why it's complex
Im just mining for diamond. Everything else can be made in farms.
@@longba3868yeah but u still need lots of resources to build them
Yea a little
THANKS KING! ive been having such a hard time finding anything because of the new update and ive been playing since i was little LMAO, so this was incredibly helpful
Glad I could help
Fun fact de rarest ore is deepslate coal😄
This isn't much related to the video, but some people say that they miss how simple minecraft was before. I understand how they feel, but for me I like the stuff that have been added recently. More dangers, huge caves (although sometimes annoying trying to find your way back out), and just many new biomes. If I ever get bored of the newer versions I can just go back to an older version at any time
In your experiment, did you notice a significant increase of ore veins near chunk borders, like the ancient debris in the nether?
No I didn't find that to be the case
@@Eyecraftmc Damn it. I was afraid you'd say no, but I hoped you'd say yes. So much for cheap mining trick. Thanks for the reply!
It does, but only if they are very Rare like Ancient Debris, as they still generate randomly in Chunks. So, if you are looking for Deepslate Ores, the best place to find them is along a 2x3 Horse Path along Chunk Borders at Y 2,3, & 4 under Mountains. While this is not the best Level to find most of the Deepslate Ores, it is the best place to find Deepslate Coal, and Deepslate Emeralds still generate there under Mountain Biomes as well. And if you can Automate a few Geode Clusters within Range nearby, you can use the Horse Paths to later set up a Rail Collection System for them. And use Silk Touch to Mine them with if you want the Deep Slate varieties. Or just set up a Beacon and clear the whole area. Then you can check for Slime Chunks as well, lol.
@@_Abjuranax_ These are definitely good advices, and I shall put them to the test. Since the cave update, I'm really struggling with mining. Before that, all you had to do is go down Y11, put a beacon there, and quickly gather anything you need by waving your pickaxe towards anything it can touch (and easily locate slime chunks in the process). But with the deepslate, we can kiss the speed-mining goodbye. And the new ore distribution makes it impossible to find every types on the same level. Yeah, I know: that's the intent. But that deepslate is killing me.
Thank you since caves and cliffs came I was so confused where to find diamonds to the point where I have only a few diamonds and this vid has been the most helpful in understanding where to mine
Is the same for the bedrock version?
Deepslate emerald ore is lowkey one of the best looking blocks in the game. I want one IRL.
First
Lot of info in this, and the visual graphs were awesome. Well done!
Just hopped back into minecraft and this was insanely helpful! thanks for the video 🍻
Strip mining and branch mining are 2 different things. Strip mining is where you strip everything out, whereas branch mining is what you are referring to as strip mining.
I was literally digging down to strip mine for diamonds and u made this. also love the new editing! it really makes your videos look better
Thanks for all the videos, they have helped me a lot. ive used a lot of your micro farms in my world. I came when you were at 23k subs and to see you hitting 100k already is well earned!
Watched another video that recommended Y being at 8 for the best Iron. Went to 8 and tunneled and found nothing. Watched this video that recommends Y 15, so I tried that. A few blocks into tunneling I found a large chunk of iron.
Thanks dude.
Thank you very much! I was so confused when I have started to play on 1.19 and couldn't find as much resources as I could in previous versions of 1.18 :( Mining is my favourite thing to do in minecraft and I'll definetly check these coordinates out :)
best minecraft tutorial i've seen so far, nice job!
Wow, thanks!
ty because currently I’ve only got diamonds twice and trying to learn to be less scared of mining
Thank you so much for making this video. I’ve been struggling to find diamonds after the most recent Minecraft update.
Thanks for the video
Nah, no one should have such a relaxing voice, like it's not even fair
When I mine diamonds I usually go to Y coordinate level -54 and one time gathered two stacks of 64 diamonds with (obviously) using Fourtune III pickaxe strip mining.
What the -54 coordinate level essentially means is whenever I come across lava the lava will always be on the floor as opposed to the ceiling or the front.
However, this is using the strip mining method which means there will be times where one might come across the deep terraria-like corruption biome, the troll will spawn in and kill you.
So yea, that's another good method I found for strip mining but it has its downsides as well like I said with the warden spawning in and killing you.
Technically, calling that "strip mining" is wrong, but it's so entrenched now that it's not going to change. Strip mining is when you go on top of a mountain and start taking it out from the top down. :)
The only guide that actually considers silk touch (even if it didn't go too deep into the deepslate varieties)
So I keep getting confused on which is Java and which is bedrock edition and the difference. Could you do a video on that. Because I usually play Minecraft on my Xbox one series s
Thank you, always seeing videos of people using fortune picks and mining for them to see what lvl is better
This is really helpful
I was waiting for someone to make this video, specially removing the stone and other common blocks to actually see ore distribution in lower levels. Really cool video
This guy deserves way more watches, probably the best minecraft youtuber I've seen!
I just started playing this game again. Last time played it was around a decade ago. Diamond is so rare I found around 20 before I decided to use an app to just find em for me. There’s so much new in the game that I don’t even understand lmao
Literally havent played since 1.14- so this helps a lot! Just started a new world 3 days ago, made a quick iron farm and now I think im ready for diamonds >:D
Great, straight to the point and very informative video. Also you have a very calming voice, which sounds like pure asmr.
Reduced air exposure *does* apply to water caves, contrary to what you said in the lapis segment. So water caves are a great place to find reduced air exposure ores.
I must have said that wrong in the videos, I did mean that water filled caves are a great place to mine. Also I saw this comment and was like is that actually seaofpixels? and yea it is lol :)
@@Eyecraftmc Always nice to be recognised, great video!
Just got back Minecraft. Spent a full hour at level 11, then saw this. Thanks for this video
I finally started playing survival Minecraft again since 1.13 and this helped me alot, thanks! 😁
Thank you very much mr.Eyecraftmc, last MC version i played was 1.9 so this video helped me a ton!
This is very helpful, thanks man!
Very helpful video tysm!
Great video, packed full of info I've never learned from others' videos.
Appreciate you bro. Haven't played MC since 2013 (had my account since 2010) and your videos have helped me catch up. So much has changed :D
12:12 I just bring a crafting table and turn everything into blocks (other than iron and gold as they need smelted) I think it saves more room in your inventory and you’re not mining your ores twice with 2 picks
I like to go mining for strictly copper with a fortune pickaxe and turn it into copper blocks while mining. Then when I get back set up an auto smelter, let it smelt for like 2-3 runs, and just break the furnace whenever I need levels quickly
I'm new to the game and this is incredibly helpful. thanks!
yo i mined at 15 and found iron thanks for the video rly helped me out fr
Imma try diamonds next!
Amazing editing, straight to the point, very informative. This is a great video!
