If you have a Windows, go to the search bar and type in c:/users/<your account name>/appdata/roaming/.minecraft The open up the file called "options" and edit the gamma level to 100000. No more torches needed.
Tools Diamond axe (No enchants) Diamond shovel (No enchants) Diamond Sword (No Enchants) Diamond Pick (Efficiency 4 and Unbreaking 3) Fishing rod (Luck of the sea 2 and unbreaking 3)
I take max enchant (no thorns though) Chainmail armor. I have a Max Fort III pick in the first slot, Eff 7 pick in the second, Eff 5-10 depeding spade in the 3rd slot, Axe Eff 5 in 4th, Sharp 5 Looting III sword in 5th, and a Star Rod in 6th slot for when I see creepers, and on some occasions I will have an Eff 5 shears and sponge in the 7th and 8th slots.
Efficiency 5 Unbreaking 3 Fortune 3 Diamond Pick (or an eff7) Full Prot4 (in case mobs and I go afk) Eff5 unb3 shovel Water bucket (also used for /pt fix all) Thats basically it. No need for food, /eat.
Instead of using torches just go to your .minecraft folder and set the gamma to 20. there problem solved no more need for torches
I don't go into the mining world.. except to fortune my ores. Mine in the main world and stay safe. <3
I always remember to bring @SKSoccer with me when I'm mining. That way when I fall into lava I can stand on top of her to get out.
