Everything you need to know about Mining!


What is Mining?

Mining is the most important thing in Minecraft, the reason people don't think it is isbecause there are so many new things, but without mining, Minecraft would not be possible!

Mining Tips!

1. Don't dig straight down!

Why: Lava is produced underground at random areas, Lava will burn you to death if you fall in it, if your digging straight down the chances of you falling in lava increase. Besides, staircases are much better do to the fact you can climb back up from the mine.


2. Be prepared

Why: Mobs spawn underground as well, if you run into one, you will want to be armed with a Sword, and maybe some Armour on you. In Mineshafts/Dungeons there are big groups of Mobs, you need to be prepared to take these large groups on!

4. Pickaxes Durability

Stone Pickaxe: 132 Blocks
