this tutorial shows you how to create and efficient and affective strip mine

Step one
Create a 2x2 hallway at bedrock level and continue it as long as you feel necessary

Step 2
Dig out 1x2 hallways every three blocks (just make them 1 block deep for now)

Step 3
continue those hallways as far as you want to collect materials from

Step 4 (optional but recommended)
Build a store room to store: extra pickaxes, cobblestone, and resources you've gathered

you are done now just make sure you are careful of lava

Plz favorite and diamond if you enjoyed
Plz post a comment on your thoughts, complaints, opinions, or ideas because i want to know what you have to say

yeah the idea behind strip-mining is to get all ores in an area

nice another thing that helps with strip mining is, enchanted diamond tools because you have so manny of them it is easy to have all of your tools be diamond, and when they are enchanted they digging goes by faster, longer, and easer

only use silk touch on ores then you can use a fourtune pick later and it doesn't fill up your up your inventory
