    I was just wondering, what tools and what styles do you all use to mine. I mean like what works for you and what you use to get it done.

    Ex: Strip mining, caving, etc.

    I like to strip mine with a eff5 unb3 fort3 pick or collect leftover resources from eff7 tunnels.

    Strip mining is pretty effective. Mining with your bare hands is also very efficient.

    I sell flint to the server. It makes a whopping $0 apiece. You make the same amount every time, because 0 multiplied by anything is always 0!

    But no seriously, eff5 unb3 fort3 alternate between 1x2 tunnel, 2x2 tunnel, and diagonal 2x2.

    it depends I usually strip mine with max silk till I find a cave then I go in with max fortune and pick out the cave then go back to strip mining, ravines are fun with fly+ cause I can get to all the minerals up high easily. generally make 5k a hour

    rent a eff7 and strip mine for the most of your rented time. Place all ores that you have collected in a chest for now and continue mining. After rent finished. take your fort 3 pick and break all dem' ores. profit.

    around 23k-29k per hour if you do this. maybe even more! i suggest renting it for a day at a time as you are more likely to mine the entire time and not procrastinate.
