The optimal way to mine every ore (2024)

This post is mainly for ironman players as your money-making method and buying from the bazaar is likely faster than manually grinding any of these ores. I will also mention that i posted this on reddit a few weeks ago and am reposting it here now. I will be including the locations and methods as well as my personal amount gained in testing the methods below. The stats for this test are 6227 mining speed and 1898 mining fortune. I also have efficient miner 80 and 5.7m mithril powder and 6m gemstone so you can use these stats as a point of reference for your own (note that this is with divan and scatha out so if some tests require minerals these stats will vary. a final comment before I talk about the methods is that these are only the methods I'm aware of I did some research for a few of these to see if I was missing something but it's still very possible I'm wrong so please feel free to correct me.

GOLD

many people are well aware of the meta for mining gold but I will include it here regardless, I used 3/4jaded mineral with a divans helmet and went to the mines of divan in the crystal hollows. mining the gold at the bottom of the Mines of Divan got me 4091 enchanted gold in a 10-minute test which is 153 enchanted golden blocks per hour. if you are not able to join crystal hollows I recommend going for that before attempting to get large amounts of gold but if you decide you need to I would suggest the royal mines in the dwarven mines. there is a lot of dwarven gold which can be mined for gold ingots.

DIAMONDS

Diamonds are also done in the Mines of divan but because there are significantly less diamonds than gold I am not able to test for 10 minutes. it took me just under minutes to mine all the diamonds in the Mines. in that 3 minutes, I got 303 enchanted diamonds I won't convert that number to hourly because it doesn't include time to find a new lobby which you would have to do 20 times to fill an hour. alongside gold, I would recommend not manually grinding diamonds all too much before being able to join the crystal hollows because it's much more efficient to do in crystal hollows but if you decide to there is a cart at 30 235 -158, it's just in front of spawn but its the best place to go.

LAPIS

for this I got the coordinates from the Ironman Sweats coordinates for skytils it took me 6:15 to mine out the lobby and in that just over 6 minute period I got 878 enchanted lapis which is 52 blocks an hour not including swapping lobby and getting back to spot (the reason I include this and not diamonds is that the waypoints are consistent throughout all lobbies whereas finding a Mines of Divan with diamonds can take some time.) if you do not have a bal pet or do not want to mine lapis in the method listed above for any other reason your best bet is swapping between both of the carts next to these coords 29 231 -123. these are the carts directly next to the diamond cart and they are the best place to mine lapis outside of crystal hollows.

REDSTONE

Similar to lapis, Redstone is also best done in the crystal hollows while utilizing waypoints. I do not recall where I got these waypoints, I didn't make them, and I'm not trying to claim credit but ill link them here regardless. in my 10-minute test I got 2602 enchanted Redstone which equals roughly 97 blocks per hour. if the waypoint strategy doesn't work for you or you don't have access to crystal hollows yet your best bet is to come to a cart containing Redstone in the dwarven mines located at -102 181 40.

COAL

before starting to work on this I hadn't manually grinded for specifically coal as in the early game of my ironman profile I used minions and then once I unlocked crystal hollows I had gotten enough just from powder mining to do everything I needed but if for whatever reason you are attempting to go for specifically coal I would suggest using these waypoints. I got 1918 enchanted coal from a 10-minute test which would yield 71 enchanted coal blocks per hour. again for the earlier game players or people that are willing to sacrifice efficiency because the waypoints may be inconvenient you can come to these coords (-101 182 112) I have not done a 10-minute test on this but I know it is MUCH worse

IRON

there isn't a very good way of mining iron but I'm fairly sure waypoints in the dwarven mines are technically best. i used these waypoints personally for my test and in a 10-minute period I got just 173 enchanted iron which equates to 6.5 blocks an hour. I was fairly inefficient and I think even with my setup I could've gotten a number closer to 9 blocks an hour but regardless it is much slower than the others. the dwarven mines counterpart for this strategy isn't great either but I believe the best spot is (-153 169 89) although it does require some moving around.

QUARTZ

The best spot to mine quartz is in the crimson isle and to the best of my knowledge is located at (-418 57 -700) while mining quartz you should use part mineral depending on your efficient miner level. I personally used mineral boots because I'm efficient miner 80, with efficient miner 100 you can use either 1/4 or no mineral but depending on your efficient miner level you should adjust the amount of mineral armour you wear. in my 10-minute test for this, I got 603 enchanted quartz which is about 37.5 blocks per hour.

alright, thank you for reading through this hopefully a few players actually find this useful. also just wanna say one last time that I'm, not the one who found these coords for the coal, iron, redstone, and lapis although I do not recall who I did get them from so, unfortunately, I cannot give proper credit. have a good afternoon everyone The optimal way to mine every ore (1)

FAQs

What is the most efficient mining method? ›

The most basic strategy is to mine in a straight line at a 45° angle downwards, moving one block across for every block down. If the player dig out four blocks above each step instead of three, climbing back up is easier, since they won't "hit their head" with each jump up the steps.

What level should I mine for each ore? ›

What are the 4 methods of mining? ›

There are four main mining methods: underground, open surface (pit), placer, and in-situ mining. Underground mines are more expensive and are often used to reach deeper deposits.

How rare is deepslate coal? ›

Deepslate coal ore generates when replacing tuff or deepslate, which is a rare occurrence due to the rarity of coal blobs below Y=8 where deepslate generates. Coal ore is also found in small amounts alongside underground fossils.

What level is 1.20 strip mining? ›

Branch Mining / Strip Mining

For Minecraft 1.20, that is Y = -59. You can dig corridors that are 3x3 big, or corridors that are two blocks high and one block wide. If you go for the second one, make sure to leave spaces of two blocks in between the corridors. This way you can see all the blocks and can save some time.

Which method of mining is the most sustainable? ›

In-situ mining is a low-impact technique for extracting minerals like uranium and some metals from ore bodies without removing the ore from the ground.

Which is the most efficient miner? ›

The Bitmain Antminer S19 Pro stands as a top choice in the Bitcoin mining market. Noted for its remarkable hash rate of 110 Th/s, this machine is positioned as a leader in its category.

What is the most energy efficient mining algorithm? ›

Results suggest that the CryptoNight v7 mining algorithm draws a statistically significant lower amount of electrical energy, compared to Ethash and Equihash, therefore, is the most efficient cryptocurrency mining algorithm out of the three.

Which method of mining is most cost-effective? ›

Surface mining is best suited to extract minerals that are close to the surface of the earth. It is also usually a more cost-effective mining method compared to underground mining. Common minerals extracted using surface mining are some of the most mined including coal, iron and bauxite.
