Q&A for How to Mine in Minecraft

Diamonds are important in Minecraft because they are the ingredients to some of the most durable and efficient tools in the game. Diamond tools are important because they allow the player to mine materials like obsidian—which allows players to create a portal to the nether dimension—and ancient debris. You also need diamonds to create an enchanting table, which allows you to add upgrades to your tools and armor.

Emerald ore will only spawn in Extreme Hill biomes. It will spawn between layers 32 - 4. To view your level, press F3; the y-coordinate will be your level. The current biome you are standing in will also be shown in the F3 screen.

You either need an iron pickaxe or a diamond pickaxe.

Well over a hundred. Because diamonds only try to spawn once per chunk (16x16 area), it is theoretically possible for there to be no diamonds in a minecraft world.

To find cobblestone, go beneath the dirt until you get to a gray block. Mine that gray block, and you will get cobblestone.

They can be, but I wouldn't recommend trying to find diamonds underneath layers of lava. It can be very dangerous.

You need a wooden pickaxe or stronger. You cannot mine cobblestone with any other tool, as that will break the cobblestone.

You use a treasure map, which can be found in shipwrecks. To find a shipwreck, you first trade for a shipwreck map from a fisherman, then you locate the shipwreck via the pointer that says where you are relative to the ship. Then you can loot the shipwreck and find a treasure chest map. Repeat what you did for finding the shipwreck for the treasure, and get digging! It can be pretty deep!

You can use a water bucket to make a waterfall, then climb up it and quickly collect the water and move your cursor a few blocks up, and place the water back, and repeat to scale a wall of any height. It can be tiring!

Not if you are using caves and cliffs. Update I or II, then try to go to y=15

The current version of Minecraft has many structures in the overworld, more than that of caves. If you want to find more items that will help you to progress, the overworld is the choice to make. However, if you want to start/speed up progression, then it is the caves.

Diamonds. This is because emeralds can be obtained by trading with villagers or found in chests in villages, so diamonds are more rare than emeralds.

You can find these near river biomes, and plains biomes. And then you can find emeralds.

Not exactly, as they haven't claimed the ore themselves. However, if you're mining in the Nether and you take gold from Piglins, that would be stealing as they have already claimed it.

You can find netherrite in the Nether. The best place to mine it is at y-level 15, where they spawn in clumps of 1-3. You must have a diamond pickaxe to mine this rare material, and it can only be applied to diamond armor and tools. They can also be found in scrap, ore, or ingot form in bastion remnants.

To mine cobblestone, you need a pickaxe of wood tier or higher. To get cobblestone, you can either mine raw stone or cobblestone. Note that when mining raw stone, you must not have silk touch on your pickaxe, or you will not get cobblestone.

To get rid of Minecraft noises, turn off all the music and sound effects.

In Minecraft, coal is found everywhere! Pick natural caves, as they tend to house more coal than player-created mines. Also, if you spot one block of coal, make sure you are prepared to mine extra coal, because one block of coal usually means more coal is hiding behind it.

You may want to look in natural caves, but abandoned mineshafts usually have a really high chance in the Mesa biome. Listen for spiders and follow that sound, be careful, if the spider is a cave spider (you will know because they poison you and are smaller and brown) then you are very very close. I recommend bringing milk or honey with you as they remove all effects which include poison.

That's for PC edition only. However, you can see through walls using a fancy trick but it's considered cheating.
