You nailed it right on the head. That’s exatly how I used to strip mine. It’s by far the most efficient. But for some reason when I’m mining with a diamond hammer and blocks are breaking everywhere super fast I don’t keep to any pattern. I just kind of go crazy and let me tell you…it’s a blast
I found a massive area that is pure rock in every direction. Once in a while I run into lava but only if I keep mining in the same direction for a long time.
Also keep in mind that haul of 313 was my biggest load by far. Normally a good run Consists of around 60-130 per hour.
Okay, well I suppose I’ll have to find a place like that. Although I find it easier overall to mine just above lava level. Is there any particular reason you chose 10? The prime area for Diamond mining is between 5-30, so I would think 15-18 would be fine. o.o
It just so happens to be where I set up shop after first discovering that place. But when I mine, for some reason, I just find plenty at that level. Who knows, maybe there’s even more at slightly higher elevation.
I’ll try around 15 or so and see how it goes. Thanks again for the tips.
I think I give the coordinates out in one of my boundless YouTube episodes. It’s not the exact location but close.
It’s episode 3. In one hour using the old original diamond hammer I managed to get 60.

Keep it up. Ive found multiple 10 spots down there.
