      As soon as you get a full set of enchanted (even if the enchantments aren't that great) diamond, the cave method becomes pretty trivial to do. In fact, full iron with enchants also works fine for the late early game.

      Exactly. Usually by the time I need diamonds, I have a TON of iron. That means it hurts less to use up my iron to get that reward of diamonds. It's easy to zone out and strip mine, especially when watching UA-cam in the background. I often watch Toycat's livestreams while playing Minecraft because I feel like it gets me into the flow of it

  • @ninjanoodle2674

    I've always felt that exploring caves for ores was so much more fun that just branch mining. I never really minded branch mining as a way to get a lot of blocks and ores, but it's not really something that I would consider "fun". I'm looking forward to exploring the 1.18 caves, and if I'm rewarded by finding Diamonds then that is just a cherry on top. It's not like I really need any Diamonds at this point. I think that the way that they have it makes sense for new players that need to find Diamonds for their first Diamond Pickaxe, to fill out a Diamond Armor set, or to upgrade the remainder of their tools. I find it kinda weird that a bunch of Minecraft UA-camrs are saying that it's "too easy" to find Diamonds in 1.18 as they are already geared up.

I established a base camp and went raiding into the dark with my doggo protector, lighting it up, and mapping it out. I still remember its tunnels and multiple entrances. And after 6 months, I had not found the bottom. The constant exploration tired me out the rest of the day and sucked time. And all I got was 10 diamonds after 6 months.
      Then, I tried tunneling. Not only was I filling boxes of diamonds and azuli, but I found dozens of exciting caves from the bottom up, where all the diamonds spawn. I would place signs to help myself find the caves, and even give them little names. One time I stumbled on an end fortress by sheer luck, marked it with a sign, and one day spent 5 minutes finding the end portal. No muss, no fuss, and as many resources as I would ever need for fully enchanted everything. I felt OP compared to the Ender Dragon and when I beat the game, I just shrugged and started over.

    I love that they've balanced the two approaches.

    It's way more fun to explore the caves than branch mining, and this update has made caving not just viable, but the best method. However, it really devalues diamonds, to the point that I think the game either needs some kind of new, very valuable and rare item that gives you more of a reason to go in the caves, or, they introduce a new powerful item with a crafting recipe that requires diamonds. You can get a lifetime supply of diamonds in a single caving session with a fortune 3 pick, after that, what is the draw? I hope that the deep dark cities introduces some new rare, consumable item that encourages you to keep coming back.
    It's a bit like the problem with amethysts, you can get so many shards from a single geode harvest that you dont really need to farm them. Amethyst shards just dont have enough uses yet.

    • @TheFlyfly

      i think it largely depends on the player, whether diamonds are too common.
      players who have mending wont need too many diamonds, while players who dont have mending will always need to go back for more.
      players who are familiar with minecraft are likely to have/get mending villagers, while players who arent familiar with minecraft probably dont have mending villagers.
      so basically, for old players diamonds are too common, but for new players diamonds might not be too common.

      For sure. Played last night and found a new gigantic deep cave system. In 60 minutes of fighting hordes of zombies and exploring I got 64 diamonds with a fortune 3 pickaxe. Every one of those were completely exposed. I like it, but they are just too common. I have over 600 diamonds and only have made about 8 netherite ingots. And thats after a few hundred TNT blasts to expose them. I've totally given up on netherite. Far to time consuming with little payoff. Netherite isn't even that much better to begin with.

    Well of course it's easy to explore caves with good enchanted weapons, armor and the ability to fly but by that point a regular player probably doesn't even need the resources that much anymore.

  • @panpiper
    @panpiper 10 місяців тому +5

    Speed running through caves to find diamonds makes loads of sense, once you are equipped for it. Like enchanted diamond gear etc. (In your case, netherite and elytra,) If you try to speed run caverns when you are just starting out, without such gear, you are GOING to die and likely lose everything you found. When I am starting out in a new world, I will spend the first five minutes gathering wood and stuff and a few minutes before sunset, proceed to dig down into the ground to create an underground bunker complete with murderhole doors, just in case. I set up a starter base there. Likely first night, I will start to dig a staircase down looking for coal & iron. Once I am kitted out with iron, I'll head deeper still and start shaft mining for diamonds. I do NOT explore caves! Shaft mining is WAY safer until you are kitted out with diamond and have enchantments going.
    Once I have a full set of enchantments on diamond gear, 'then' and only then will I dare exploring caverns and the like.

    Mining is still one of my favorite parts of the game too! Also, I always bring 3 pickaxes with me for mining. I have one for most things, my fortune, and my silk touch. All 3 have mending, unbreaking 3, efficiency 5 except for my fortune because it costs too much to upgrade the efficiency from 3 to 5 but I'll eventually just make a new one.

    As a new player this system is daunting. I have been caving for hours on end.

I have run out of Coal because I have used so many torches, I have plenty of Iron, and Copper... Copper... What is that even used for? Maybe the Spyglass is somewhat an effective item.

    While I'm personally all about adventure mining by exploring caves and underwater, it's unfortunate that the experiment wasn't set up correctly. I had to pause the video and check when I noticed the silk touch pick was immensely faster than the other one, and sure enough, there's no efficiency on the non-silk touch pick. You can see it whenever he switches to it, such as around 12:13.

  • @zcarp8642

    The caves can lead to extensive quantities of not diamond, but diamond ore. I remember going through a large one, when they weren't deepslate, and having stacks of ore(as we had silk touched the ore for an investment when we get fortune) this update made it genuinely feasible to find a stack of diamond blocks in a world.

    Hey, I enjoy watching mining almost as much as I enjoy doing the mining. So don’t believe that “nobody likes it” crap! Also, 3 picks is my standard, Silk Touch and high Fortune get used for the ores, while high Efficiency takes care of the rest. Of course, max Unbreaking and Mending go on all of my tools. 🤠👍
    EDIT: Mojang already clarified that water counts as a block, not as air, for the limited exposure ores and the no exposure ores. So, yes, swimming in the deep aquifers WILL increase your chances of finding them.

    Branch mining is great if you are also happy to get a lot of deepslate (or whatever common block is around you). I always do the one block wide method with my branches two blocks apart (if block 1 is a tunnel, block 4 is your next tunnel), this is the most thorough method, ensuring that every possible ore is exposed by each tunnel, instead of potentially missing ores that happen to be sandwiched between the two hallways with no visibility. This is especially good for Ancient Debris mining. I also usually make them as high as the character can dig above themselves from one spot.

May you know the diamonds getting generated by chunks and in the border between two chunks you will have access to both of them what prevides more chances to face diamonds as well!
