    Mining method

    Place: main world 10.000+ blocks away from spawn
    Layer: 11
    Mined Area: 2 blocks high and 3 or 4 width
    Tools:......-Eff7 unb3 st1 pick - stone, iron, gold
    ................-Eff5 unb3 fort3 pick - redstone, lapis, diamond
    Macros:...- Auto-selling macro, it do /sell for redstone, lapis, stone & cobblestone every 30 sec
    ................- Auto-repair macro, it repairs my tools each time it's dura is below 1000
    Stops: Only for eating when my hunger bar was empty.

    Items and earnings (server priced):

    Redstone, lapis, stone and cstone: Unknown quantity since it were autosold. earnings: 17005.5 ecd
    Diamonds (gems) found: 203 = 5075 ecd
    Iron ignots found: 624 = 4680 ecd
    Gold Ignots found: 135 = 1350 ecd
    Exp: 3095 = 3376.645 ecd (1 set (825xp) is 900ecd, so 1xp is 1.091 ecd)
    Coal avoided

    Total earnings: 31487,145 ecd


    Important: Mining is based on luck, also is dangerous and requires much more attention than farming. After 30 minutes mining I was really tired but i continued because of the test.

    My personal opinion is that eff7 mining is a good way to get mineral supplys or some ecd faster than farming melons but I will still prefer to farm melons than mining since i can wacth series while farming.

    Is it more or less boring than pumpkin and/or melon farming?

    Is less boring but it requires more attention.
    While farming pumpkings/melons, specially melons, you can reduce the minecraft window and wacht series in another window because the actions that you need to do to farm all always the same, you just need to go straight and only be aware when you need to change row.
    But when mining with and eff7 pick you have to pay attention of all window or you can miss ores making impossible to do other thing.

    So, I prefer farm melons while I watch a serie but after a while i also like to go mining, only to not be doing the same all time.

    Note: I'm a little asleep because here is late so my enlighs might be more weird than usual.

    I'm curious, in regards to ignoring coal, what's the reasoning behind this? Any idea of how much more money ignoring it makes you?

    coal price per unit is 1$, with fortune 3 pick the max coal you can obtain is 4 (that's if you have luck), plus you have a chance to obtain a little ammount of experience. In the time you need to mine the coal you can find redstone or iron that is also common but lot more profitable. I never tested it but i think mining coal is a waste of time.

    I think it is a good idea to mine coal ore if you have superbreaker on. You just sweep side to side and knock out the whole vein real quick.

    another reason i love coal is it is usually touched by another vein so by mining that you will most likely stumble-upon a different kind of ore as well
