What type are you?

i don't play bad games

>>718984207
but life is the worst game there is

>>718984141 (OP)
It took me a while to realize this was not Dig Dug. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing.

>>718984237
And I don't play it, I just afk at home

>>718984141 (OP)
Who the fuck mines corridors for resources? You just mine until you hit the cave and then you explore it

>>718984141 (OP)
I mine everything man. I mine it all

sissy >:)

>>718984141 (OP)
silverfish method looks very cool

>>718984141 (OP)
Cave miner until it's no longer viable, then I make autism-hives hollowing out the earth. Cave mining and exploration was always the most fun and NOTCH THAT FAT FUCK WAS SUPPOSED TO ADD MORE TO IT

>>718984808
I don't see how that's relevant but that's pretty darn cute

>>718984141 (OP)
for me, it is cave diving
wish there were more logical methods than just using a door because it looks stupid

>>718984141 (OP)
I mine diagonally

>>718984808
well well well

straight down until bedrock

>>718985613
If no diamonds
quit and make a new world

>>718984808
Prove it

>>718984141 (OP)
Branch or chunk. Nothing like a good chunk-sized pit with a spiral staircase winding down to bedrock.

>>718984141 (OP)
Underground chunk mining between y11 and y16. If it doesn't look like the mines of moria by the time I have a stack of diamonds then it's not right

>>718984141 (OP)
Finding a sweet cave is the only good part of minecraft.

>>718984141 (OP)
Caves and Cliffs part 2 KILLED all methods of mining other than cave mining. You WILL get 120+ diamonds per hour exploring deepslate caves, pre-elytra.

ok you can suck my dick first

>>718990649
You don't have one

lose weight you fat faggot

>>718984141 (OP)
Cave mining is atleast twice as fast as strip mining if you have more than 2 brain cells.

>>718984141 (OP)
chunk mining is really fun

>>718984141 (OP)
I haven't played Minecraft since 2012 but I prospected caves when I played. Strip mining is kind of lame but exploring caves is fun.

>>718989192
heh

>>718984141 (OP)
strip mining was always actually about mining cobble for building materials with the diamonds being the gambling aspect that made mining cobble not so boring.

Iron farm into cave mining

>>718984141 (OP)
Chunk mining for sure, i used to do that a ton back when i played minecraft religiously, it was my go-to game to zone out to and i often got lost in the rhythm of it. plus its fun to build houses underground.

>>718984141 (OP)
Optimal is branch mining with 5-block gaps

>>718984141 (OP)
Chunk mining sucks

>>718989192
sick reference bro

>>718984141 (OP)
Cave or branch mining, but if you branch mine you were supposed to do 6 apart. I know this seems really counterintuitive but I assure you there's a lot of complicated math that I didn't understand as to why this was the optimal way to do things.

>>718984141 (OP)
I've never played it, so none of them

>>718997636
its the size of ore veins.

>>718996194
Nah, chunk mining has its place, specifically when you need copious amounts of non-rare materials.

>>718997994
Yeah, something like it was the right spacing to discover new ore veins. The problem with 3 apart tunnels is that while you do uncover everything, that ends up being less efficient than seeing more new veins, even if you do miss some ore by spacing the tunnels further apart. It was something like that, I think.

>>718997251
thinkign about them pargons

>>718984141 (OP)
Cave miner. I have 0 patience for "creating my own caves"

>>718984141 (OP)
in nu-minecraft if you get the right enchants and potions diving into holes in the seafloor can unironically yield a ton of shit. night vision and water breathing potions + whatever makes underwater mining faster

anyone else mine 3x3 tunnels purely because that's how abandoned mineshafts are or am i just really autistic

>>718998379
Of course not, nigga, that's inefficient as hell.

>>718984141 (OP)
Branch mining for Dwarf Fortress but cave mining for Minecraft.

>>718984141 (OP)
x ray

>>718984393
So not only do you play it, you play it poorly. Sad!

the real question is, do you make staircase shafts only as tall as you need, or make them an extra block taller so you don't bump your head when going down?

>>718999615
The fastest way to do things is to drop down, but that's kinda boring to do all the time, though it can be cool to have a drop with water tunnels on the side leaning into rooms stacked on top of each other. Works great for storage, but that's more utilitarian than pretty. I've played the game enough that most of the fun I have is in making things look really pretty so I'll make elegant diagonal staircases with extensive slab work, and of course you'd never bump your head in any of my designs.

>>718998379
I do, but that doesn't make either of us any less autistic

>>718984141 (OP)
I'm currently stripmining a 1000x500 chunk, because I want a chest full of diamonds. I also dug a 64x64 chunk all te way, all rhe diamonds I got from there were used to dig it all, not worth it.
My doctor says I'm don't have autism, shut up.

>>719002292
Strip mining is a shit way to get diamonds, anon. Branch mine or cave. Cave would best for durability, hard to say which would give you the chest full of diamonds faster as a result.

>>718998379
i even add the wooden supports and rails

the type that doesn't play a block building game made children

>>719002603
No you fucking don't.

>>719003115
I also simulate collapses

>>719003431
Dangerously based.

>>719002556
I want to get a chest full of everything, coal, redstone, iron, blocks, everything. I got most of the crops, normal blocks and ingots done, but I still need the nether and end items.

>>718984141 (OP)
Back when I played I guess branch miner but my branches were a lot longer
Basically about however far the durability of an iron pick got me and then that would become standard

>>718984141 (OP)
branch miner except instead of branches is a grid of 2x2 columns

>>718984141 (OP)
when did we turn defragmentation into video games?

None I dont mine in Minecraft, if you can't get by using nothing but wooden equipment its a skill issue.

>>718998379
I make a 7x7 room every once in a while with smelters but otherwise I branch mine in a grid
