Finally, Diamonds!

[Verrou]

Yay! So after all of this excavation:


I finally found:

Wooooooo! Diamond pickaxe and shovel, here I come ;D

Think if you didn't have TNT

[Verrou]

Bleh IKR. But with my experimenting, it seems that TNT tends to destroy ore blocks without dropping the ore :/ And to be honest, I've only used TNT on the last few layers. All the rest was hand done with a bajillion stone picks and shovels!

Congratulations! Keep looking though because surprisingly, there's a lot down there. Are you at the bottom now? When you are, make a hub and start branch mining.

How do you get back up?

I'm resentful of diamond because for how long it takes to find it doesn't last nearly long enough

[Verrou]

Yeah I'm a few blocks from Adminium. I get back up via staircase (you can see it winding up in the first screenshot, on the left). And yeah I heard about branch mining. Will give it a go.

congratulations! I find the best way to easily find diamond is to explore and find a large cave network, you'll always come accross some eventually!

[Chippiewill]

Well done, have some more diamond:

[Verrou]

Hahaha we seriously need to get those added to this forum.

Have created a "hub" and have begun branch mining.


After finishing the bottom floor this is what I got:

Not too bad!

Now up to Level 2
