    -1 Despite all the times I've found that diamond ore and can't reach it, there's 3 diamond ore in each chunk, 8 gold ore per chunk, 25 redstone, 3 lapis, 77 iron, and 143 coal. About 14336 mining-related blocks are in 1 chunk. Take 112 of those blocks, and it doesn't make much of a difference. Only a maximum of 45 ores can be lost in that chunk, the minimum being 20. Considering that there's about 256 ores per chunk, making it 211 isn't much. And as far as how many chunks there are, each chunk is 16x16, mining world is 25,000,000 squared. The amount of chunks you fit into that is 97,656.25 chunks. Finish up the math and the amount of cubic ores in the same amount of square blocks in mining world (25,000,000).
    Take out 20%of the amount of ores and there's still 20 million ores in mining (Yes, I know they have different values, I am trying to be least subjective as possible). Looking at the numbers, there's really nothing to complain about.

    Bump as the current size of the mining world will become a greater problem with the sudden increase in player count.

    i have mined all over the mining world trying to prospect for more ores and untouched areas and most of the time i find huge mined out areas, and when you do the math for the amount of ores in one chunk you have to consider what the ratio of each ore is. Coal itself cannot make anyone rich by any means i have tried it. If only i could afford an EFF7 pick...

    Because when the mining world is larger, and it doesn't mean richer players, but just a extended chance to earn money by mining, I mean like you'll still have to mine them for moneys, everytime I random wild there then dig down, always found a mined area and also considering the amount of players and the current world size... Looks like it is bit too small for the current amount of players and how hard economy is (and demands for the money), the current mining is bit too small for this in my opinion.

    I disagree with this suggestion, I never have a problem with tunnels. You find one? Dig in a different direction, or you can mine in that tunnel as many people miss out on ores.

    +1 We have a lot of people on ECC who practically mine all day. It's the middle of the month and I can't seem to find any spots that haven't been touched, I mean it's fine when there is a few tunnels that some users made, but when I can't even find a place to mine with an eff7, you know there is a problem O.O

    We need this to go through in some form or another....maybe not 7000x7000 but even just 4000x4000...this would make a significant difference for the server...it also would help economic growth as some markets fall back others increase...

    Needed more than ever.

    Currently less than 2 days in and the majority portion of the mining world has been absolutely consumed by Eff7 tunnels.

    We don't want rising to end up looking like legacy! :(

    7000 is actually -3500 to 3500, 4000x4000 would actually be smaller.

    Basically, what I'm thinking is that the mining world should expand to 8000x8000. As for the nether, it should enable XP as the same rate as the mining world and should stay the same size. I think transferring the main source of XP to the nether would be too much for the economy, and I think that both worlds should have the same amount of XP.
    I understand that those last two sentences kinda went into another suggestions thread, but I think that the suggestions are related.

    If jamie isn't lying again, with the hub coming out this month, the player count is about to sky rocket. A bigger mining world is needed. Think of the future, not the now.

    Wouldn't this jack up the supply side an mess with the player markets for these blocks? I don't think it's a good idea.
