    I thought it would be fun to try to mine the entire mining world as a group, systematically. Here is what I propose:

    We mine at y = 7 and y = 11.
    We mine all tunnels in the z-direction, holding x constant for your tunnel.
    All tunnels should be 2x1 in size.
    Tunnels should be 5 blocks apart.

    For example, I am starting at the 2250x, -2250z corner and mining on y = 11 and x = 2245. I keep going until I hit the other side of the map. When I reach the other side, I will start on y = 11, x = 2240.

    When you complete a row, please post it in this thread in this format:

    Code:
    Y coordinate (11 or 7):
    X coordinate (multiple of 5):
    Did you mine a 2x1 tunnel from one edge of the map to the other along these two coords?:
    Rows finished for Y = 11:

    75x

    2215x
    2220x
    2225x
    2230x
    2235x
    2240x
    2245x

    Rows finished for Y = 7:

    None.

    truly you are insane, but then upon reflecting upon what I thought this was going to be its far less insane that deliberately making the entire world an open pit mine

    4500X4500 MASSIVE PIT
    Maybe try a 500x500 first?

    A 1000x1000 pit would be an achievement :p

    But just digging rows across the map is fine with me. I think I'll give it a spin.



    So I just go down to Y 7 or 11 and just mine in a straight line?

    I think the achievement would be "What mining world..." or "the destroyer of worlds" achievement

    i did a 16x100 down to bedrock (on the previous map) and that's only 1/600 the size of a 1000x1000. I shudder to think of doing that 600 times. i'm probably estimating this wrong, but digging the entire world down to bedrock would be 10,000 times the work that I did on the 16x100 pit.

    and keep your x-coord a constant and a multiple of 5.

    It wouldn't be impossible, if every Eff 7 pick user came, and every Eff 5 and Eff 4 pick user came, and we all worked, possibly...

    if we had 1000 people doing it (unlikely), each one would have to do 10 sections the size of the 16x100 i did. o_O

    it is technically possible, but sooo much work.

    Y coordinate (11 or 7): 11

    X coordinate (multiple of 5): 75


    Did you mine a 2x1 tunnel from one edge of the map to the other along these two coords?: Yes

    Two rows are officially done, and there are more in progress or not reported. We are still doing it, salvaotero98.

    There are a lot of warps that are near a border. The ones near a corner are:

    18, 19, 9
    14, 15, 3
    26, 27, 6
    22, 23, 12

    The ones near an edge, but not in a corner:
    20, 24
    21, 25
    28, 16
    17, 13

    The rest are kind of spread through the middle.
