if u mine in the south west quadrant of the map there is a better chance to find all minerals. because of a glitch in minecraft it had to do with the world the server puts minerals in the ground by % due to theyre cords.in the south west quadrant the cords are positive.mine craft rounds % to 0.0 not 0.0 and 0.5 so with the positives it makes it have more of a chance of it being a ore.i probably didn't explain this good so just try it.
Really? that explains why Kai had so much trouble finding ores, and I had so much luck, my house is in the west. >_> <_<
