What Did You Mine or Craft Tonight?

I usually come across lava at feet=11 and more often than not find diamond hanging over a lava lake - that requires a lot of work to get them!

A bucket of water makes that situation a piece of cake.

Mine where your feet are at level 11 and have a Fortune-enchanted pick with you for when you find diamonds.  I have a pattern where my mineshafts have three blocks between them, then the next level is offset by two, so pretty much every block gets seen.

I'm starting to think about digging chunk-sized mines, right now I measure out 50 or 100 blocks without caring how many chunks I'm in.  And once you find the diamonds in a chunk, you have to go into another chunk to find more.

I pretty much only do my main mining at around that level. A bit above, and a bit below as well, because of the method I use, you dig up two levels, in the middle, and down two levels in an alternating pattern. You get to see all blocks, without actually digging them all out. It's pretty efficient.

Well, I finished one more wall on the teleport Terminal, it's starting to look a lot more like a grand train station

I brought some glass from Edge City but I will have to go digging for more sand.

On the plus side I think I have enough stone bricks / smooth stone to finish the other two walls!

And here I thought you were working today

I'll have a bunch of yogscast videos to catch up on though LOL
