    I have decided to create a little poll with a question on how you mine. This is to give everyone some strategies about mining and to help me out with some issues I am facing! Thank you for your input!

    As always,

    Some other ways are *probably* more efficient, but going straight is so simple it feels like less time to each ore even if it isn't.

    I go to level 12 and strip mine forward until I find a cave/ravine, then return to strip mining. And repeat

    Y 11, mine three high, straight line for ~50 blocks, turn and mine four blocks, and mine straight back the other way (three block wall between my last straight line). Rinse and repeat. When I have superbreaker ready, I /speed or sprint and mine out the wall between my paths.
