Mining Techniques
Hello It's ripto98 and I'm going to teach you all how to Xray!
Just kidding. I wanted this to be a post where everyone who goes on to the j2 RPG server, or those in the j2 community that have played on other survival servers, can share their mining ideas. Everyone has different opinions and thoughts on how to mine efficiently. Just post your ideas and discuss.

Re: Mining Techniques
I've seen so many people use this excuse. The dumbest one I've heard was "I have diamond sense, idk what it is, but I just am able to find diamonds". Anyway.
My mining technique is a 3x3 tunnel with small 1x2 tunnels branching off. It's really efficient with finding diamonds and gold and such.

Re: Mining Techniques
One important trick is to space tunnels 2 block apart, which help maximize blocks exposed per block mined.

Re: Mining Techniques
A 9x9 hallway that's at Level 16-5. Lots of cobble...
Sometimes I'll make it wider or a little thinner.
When It gets too long, I start branch mining off of it. Two levels of 2x1 hallways on either side.

Re: Mining Techniques
I usually do a 2x3 main hallway with 2x3s branching off with 1 block spacings in between each tunnel.
Re: Mining Techniques
I'm a severe no-life, so I'll be trying all of these. Thanks for the replies.

Re: Mining Techniques
Mining? Why would you mine when there are so many better ways to get resources?
In all seriousness, I go very low and then branch out in 1x2 hallways with 2 spaces in between them off of a 1x2 hallway, like so:
█░██░██░██░██░██░██░██░██░██░█
█░██░██░██░██░██░██░██░██░██░█
░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ <- 1 Wide, 2 tall
█░██░██░██░██░██░██░██░██░██░█
█░██░██░██░██░██░██░██░██░██░█
But I rarely actually mine for resources. Usually I end up finding all of my goodies from mining out giant viking halls for gladiator battles between giants the sizes of skyscrapers
(inb4 everyone realized that ripto made this so that she could know who's base she found when she sees a certain mining technique)

Re: Mining Techniques
When I'm searching for valuable minerals, I find the most effective method to be cave exploring. It's the absolute fastest way to reveal blocks underground. Also when I explore caves, I put all torches on the right side of it. That way, when I need to find out, I just make sure that I always walk with the torches on my left, and It'll lead ya' out.

Re: Mining Techniques
I prefer ravines or mineshafts. They reveal tons of goodies.
