Title: Diamonds, and I want more!
Post by: dashades131 on May 10, 2014, 09:49:47 PM
Hi there, my name is dashades131. On famcraft, I have decent items, but I can take it anymore that I don't enough diamonds to make pixel art with diamond blocks. I actually probably won't be doing that, but I still would enjoy to look at a diamond ore and not really care if a creeper was to explode it. I need tips on finding diamonds, and the only decent method that I've found is the efficiency 5 and the haste 2 beacon, but that is eating up my pickaxe durability.  I don't know what level to mine at, and I think Y=11 has higher percentage of finding diamonds. I like diamonds a lot, and want more. I would love it if someone were to give me tips on how to find diamonds.

When I mine for diamonds, I dig down to about y12.

I usually make it 3-wide block wall, but I know a lot of people use 2 just to make sure :)
It will take a while, so be patient <3

I usually make a beacon at Y12 and just silk touch ALL the things(remember to us torches or a ps stone, because, mobs) I hope that helped :D

I just go caving a lot and get down to diamond level ASAP.  A lot of times that means I look for a ravine at the bottom of the ocean as that normally has me at diamond level or very very close.

go to level 12 and just mine a giant box out whatever you find mine it. whatever you get helps. and if you find diamonds silk touch it and ask if anybody will fortune 10-20 it for you so youll get more. what i do it i take my silk touch down without my fortune 10 then when im done i come up and fortune 10 everything i got. Happy Hunting :)

I always use long lines. At lvl 11 i dig lines 2 high amd ever 4th block. I leave 3 standing. Logic is that when you find diamond ores they come as 2 width in 99% of the time, so with 3 standing you cant miss them. Also just mine any ore you come across.

I say if u want to find a lot of ores, be at a good lol, and find lots of caves. I would find a mine shaft. That's where I like to start.
