Mining Efficiently

Mining is an incredibly useful practice that gives you a fast (though challenging) means of obtaining strong minerals such as iron, gold, and diamond. You can mine in a number of ways, as described in this section, so use whichever method suits you best.

These mining tips aren’t strict guidelines. Try your own methods, too!

Cave mining

Cave mining is challenging yet fruitful. To start, you must find a large cave — you can perhaps find one while working on another mine or exploring. If you find a large cave, you have a useful resource at your disposal!

Caves are generally very dark — and in Minecraft, darkness means monsters! Always be on your guard, carry weapons (and perhaps armor), and light up the cave with torches.

Cave mining is useful in growing your arsenal of resources and tools — by mining inside a cave, you can obtain many scattered resources without wearing out your tools trying to plow through stone or deepslate. Deepslate is an alternative to stone that appears very deep underground in your world. Ores spawn in both stone and deepslate, so keep an eye out for both types of ore when you’re in these deep underground areas. Table 8-1 describes the various resources you can obtain while mining.

Caves can sometimes be deadly labyrinths, and you may lose your items if you die. You must decide whether the payoff in resources is worth the risk of losing them.
