1. Dig down until you hit bedrock. (In a staircase-like fashion, not straight down. :wink:

)
2. Find some lava.
3. Dig around there until you find diamonds.

You could also look up branch mining, which is by far the most effective method I've found. That's my mining method of choice by a long shot.

Yeah, that's what I did. I've got one long tunnel straight down using ladders, and in one of my mines I've got a big stairway down.

Livestream is up again for a bit if anyone is interested

**Location:** Approximately 93 million miles from Sol.

So, I've started work on a massive mine underground. It's not something I plan to do all at once, and I certainly don't plan to ever consider it complete. But several of my friends have taken to calling it the Mines of Moria, since my descriptions of exactly what I'll be doing with it seem to bring that to mind for them. (Basically, I'm digging waaaay out to the sides, putting columns in to keep the place lit with torches, and then digging down a few levels at a time, taking out everything and extending the columns after I'm done. When I hit bedrock, I'll mine out what I can, and fill it with lava, and cover it with a layer of glass. Potentially, I'll end up with my undercity sticking out of the roof of it, too. I'll have to be careful if I do that, though. Too much risk of falling damage.

Also, I'm going to make a massive, dimly lit library with the sole purpose of having it spawn monsters for me to hunt. Creepers be damned, I want my library dungeon!

I have quite a few other projects, like my massive glowing pyramid and my smoke and fire factory (complete with warnings to watch out for action movie heroes), as well as a massive snowglobe, underwater complex, a couple of large parks, and the rest of my city, complete with a burning ring of fire and cacti around the outer edge to keep the nasties out.

Let's just hope it doesn't... glitch.

My base is fully submerged in lava. :shades:

I have some caged ghasts, and I go in the cage occasionally to kill one, just for kicks.

Not in Minecraft, at any rate. We've all been burned irl.

a mod that makes destroyed blocks turn into primed tnt -- blocks destroyed by tnt have a small chance of turning into primed tnt themselves, as well. I want to do this as a sendoff sometime.

finally got this :cute:

not gonna have time to play until later... any advice for a newbie?

NO I WILL NOT GIVE A FLOWER TO A MONSTER TO RECRUIT IT INTO MY ARMY

Don't go outside at night, especially with your nice things.
And don't screw around with lava when you're holding all of your nice things.

And... is that Hayley Williams?

this is pretty much essential to Minecraft right now, since none of this is mentioned ingame. besides that, there's basically no wrong way to do things, and the penalties for dying are pretty lax. go hog wild!

Yeah, until you die at the bottom of a vast mine and there's no way you can get back there to save all of your diamonds... Tread cautiously, and always have at least 2 bacon! Have at least 4 and maybe a bucket of water if you're going spelunking!

I finally got a chance to really try SMP when it's actually possible to die, and it is so much fuggen fun. There's also a lot of possibilities for new games, too, like a snowball fight over a pit of lava (snowballs can't hurt you but can push you off a pillar into lava, for example)

If Notch fixes terrain generation and adds even some of the stuff he is talking about adding, this game will be pretty bad ass. For me, though, the current terrain generation is a deal breaker for SSP, the terrain is way too boring now.

Minecraft needs rendering occlusion and I will be happy.

Lies. You will want to keep eating, and breathing, and living too. Jerk.

No, just kidding, but actually optimizing the rendering of cubes is actually pretty tough.The way you do occlusion culling is you render the bounding box of each object and check to see if the bounding box would be visible. The problem is, each object in Minecraft is already a box. Likewise, in other games, you can reduce the number of triangles by simplifying objects that are far away, so a 20,000 poly character becomes a 2 poly imposter. For cubes, the best you can hope for is from 12 polys to 2 polys, and there's processing power you have to waste to generate the imposter for all the cubes, and then that ends up being more resources used than if you just rendered the cubes.

Instead, you've got to come up with new tricks. Though, it would help if he wasn't using a bad wrapper for a bad language lol. The price for portability/compatibility!

Very interesting! Good to know.

so I load up a new world and head to the first likely cavern I see. what's in there?

a huge chasm extending deeper than the fog. I gotta climb down this now, you understand.

**Location:** Everywhere & Nowhere

I mined a circular staircase and went down one of those once. I ended up reaching a pit of lava with plenty of diamonds around it. :biggrin:
