Wifies: Whats the best way to mine in minecraft? Me: Off camera

People with xray: Reality can be whatever I want it to be

I thought caving was widely accepted as the best way. I love cave mining I always find more then what I actually go for, I love even more now with the gargantuan caves and new level of detail

So how do i mine? Wifies: Thats the neat part, you dont.

I’m slightly angry that the diamond veins are so small

when u gonna do "what is the best way to CRAFT in Minecraft"

He's not bad at finding diamonds, he just has a bad gaming chair.

Everyone: talking about how xray is the best Me with my crappy internet: pathetic

mojang introducing this type of diamond generation seems like they're trying to encourage players to explore caves more often

Wifies: Caving is the best way to mine. Me: Always has been

Regarding the pythagoras theorem, I think you were correct in term of real distance, but wrong in term of number of blocks. To get to a diagonal block, you need to mine one block forward and then one block sideways. This means that for your specific square of sides 225, the diagonal (in terms of blocks dug) is actually the double, so 450 blocks. This would also explain the longer average time, and the higher diamond percentage, because the total number of blocks you used for the computations was actually lower than the real one.

I don't get it, I get a stack of diamonds per second with commands.

Wifies: "11 diamonds, 116 lapis, 45 gold, 21 copper, 43 iron, 180 redstone" Me: "and a partridge in a pear tree"

Everyone: Talking about xray is the best Me: *Laughs in baritone*

Wifies: Explains the best mining methods Everyone using the swamp clay diamond trick: You underestimate my power.

Wifies: "Strip mining is probably every new minecraft players first instinct." Me: *digs straight down*

"Y: 11" Yeah I remember the Pro Tip Screen said: "Need Diamonds? Mine on Y=12"

/fill replace all the stone with air and boom e z diamonds

For crawl mining, I noticed that you went back to base in the same hole you mined. Instead of that, try returning to base while mining a parallel strip. For that you have to prepare some room at the start of the first strip, for instance 4 blocks in either left or right from the entrance, at same y level. This extra blocks will let you know when you have returned to base and can stop mining. While the amount of diamonds found wont increase, the time spent mining will decrease almost by half for the same amount of blocks. I only recently started using it and I'm never going back to regular strip mining

"Let's get right into it" then immediately doesn't get right into it.

“What’s the best way to mine” *glances at X-ray testure pack*

Here's the thing though - You made this in July, which means that you either mined in 1.17, where ore generation was bugged for a bit, then they fixed it to be y11 like normal. OR you made it in 1.18 snapshots which were also bugged, and might not have had proper generation. You need to test this again in official 1.18 when it comes out later this month.

Really like how in depth you go with your testing. Thank you for saving me the time. You got a new subscriber. 🤙🏻 keep up the vids.

The best one is "Off-Camera" Mining

I've always preferred cave mining because it was fun to explore and just killing mobs. Its good to see Mojang focused on making the traditional way more effective and fun.

I dont really like caving, dealing with all the mobs is a nightmare

Video starts at 1:32 Also the best method is actually just to get Aqua Affinity on a helm and Depth Strider III and go look for crevasses in the ocean, it yields a lot better results than going into caves

“What is the best way to mine in Minecraft?” Me: *straight down*

The main disadvantages of caving (especially the upcoming 1.18 caving) is darkness and mobs. While in pre-1.18 you could just use torches, after the update you will *have* to use night vision potions, because there will be lots of ore bits in the walls and ceilings of such large caves, which you won't normally be able to see. And, using potions, you won't need to place torches everywhere, which not only makes you get lost easier, but also does not prevent mobs from spawning, meaning that you will constantly fight mobs and risk loosing all your hard-worked belongings.

5:42 : my luck after 3 hours of mining

I was playing today on Pocket Edition experimental gameplay and caving is insane for diamonds!! During a 45-60 minute caving session I found 61 diamonds and only 25 iron. The caves and cliffs beta is insane for bedrock edition right now. And the 61 diamonds was found without the fortune enchantment!!

Alternate title: wifies complaining about finding barely any diamonds for 14 minutes straight

I like how as soon as the update is out, Wifies goal is to find a new meta too mining in the game

Wifies: What is the Best Way to Mine in Minecraft 1.17? Me: XRAY

thank you SOOO MUCH wifies i always used to strip mine but now i know to go check out the cave next to my base THANK YOU :D

"What is the best way to mine in Minecraft 1.17?" me: *xray...*

The method I’ll be using when mining is an ancient tactic called X-ray

Personally I like it that the game encourages you to explore the caves. They look cool and feel more rewording then starting random mining. I also heared that whenever there is lapis you have a high chance that diamonds are not that far away (your clips with x-ray are supporting it as well)

This video is the reason I subscribed to this channel. This is the kind of videos I’ve been looking it with the exact type of data I’ve been needing. Call me a nerd but this data is a gold mine in saving me time! I definitely will be using more of his videos

Nobody: Where is Pythagoras theorem used in real life? Wifies: In Minecraft.

anyways his last video was literrally a meme cuz the one be4 he said was the last video as skipthetutorial type but NICE VIDEOS! KEEP GOING!!!

The diagonal length is the sum of both sides (you move one block forward, one block sideways). because this is a square grid, you can't use trigonometry because this is not an actual triangle

Finally people found out lmao. I always go caving. Looking in caves has always been the better method. I sometimes can get full diamond tools within 2 minutes - 5 minutes or so (not including armor). Caving just makes you see 100 times more blocks without mining a single block. And now that caves are enormous, it just means that we can see even more blocks.

“The most mola for ur jola” I cant be the only that laughed so hard

How many diamonds would you get if you went caving but used that new trick where you use lapis to help you find diamonds?

That is impressive. finding every method of diamond hunting results really shocks me. So now I’m going to go in caves

This was actually very helpful and informative thanks!

Next: What is the best way to craft in Minecraft?

Wifies: this is the best mining method for diamonds! Me: ya where is the clay and lapis trick?

I mined for 5 hours the other day and didnt get any diamonds.

used to main the 2x2 tunnel method, but 1.18’s new caves are so big and so rewarding that that’s probably how i’m going to do it going forward, i found like twenty diamonds just by looking on the other side of an underground lake

Isn’t this 1.18 technically, since the caves and new Y levels aren’t in 1.17?

nobody: next wifies video: decoding the meaning of life

idea: underwater caving. it allows more diamonds to spawn as water isn't considered exposed to air.

7:30 On bedrock edition it's way easier because crawling is the same speed as swimming

Wifies : "What is the Best Way to Mine in Minecraft 1.17?" Me : /fill ~15~0~-15 ~-15~--15~-15 air 0 destroy

0:24 "The most m o o l a h... * dramatic pause * for your J O U L A H" -Wifies 2021

Thank you sir. This video was very informative 👌

I'd like to point out that the caving method is no longer relevant. Now it is much less likely to find diamonds in caves, where they are exposed to air. Air exposure decreases the chance that diamonds will spawn, but the new ore generation chart still works. However, you have to keep in mind, and this can be proven just by looking at Mumbo Jumbo or Grian in Hermitcraft 9, that iron, coal, emeralds, and copper are now really easy to find on mountains. However, diamonds don't generate that high. So for diamonds you have to stick to mining strats.

2 things: first you didnt take in consideration the challenge of going cave mining, they are a lot of monsters, and if you dont have your gamma to 1000 or night vision, you're not gonna see most ores second if it still works in1.17 just use diamond douzing strats with clay, you can get much better results

Sadly for bedrock, we don’t have any snapshots so for cave mining we will wait like 6 months.

Wifies. I like your videos. You do a very good job. Thank you for them. I subscribed for you.

I am a new sub. I loved the Stay In School thingy, LOL.

We need "What's the best way to escape the existencial dread in Minecraft".

“With the new changes to terrain generation in minecraft 1.18” It’s 1.17.

Caving method Pros: -You can find more diamonds and more ores faster because it have some exposed ores Cons: -You have to find a new cave every time you want to go caving -Ores have a reduced chance of being exposed to air in 1.18

A very efficient method that you didn't mention is underwater mining. If you find a way to get underwater breathing and night vision for a decent amount of time, it's a godly method. There are no mobs, the underwater caves are significantly bigger than the underground ones, they can very often communicate with regular caves, and there is no air exposure problem. I remember finding a lot of diamonds with this method, while not having to worry about the mobs at all. That's a big problem with regular caving ; you can't see anything in a far range, and you can get overwhelmed by mobs very quickly.

Mom: "You can't learn anything from playing and watching videos" Wifies: *hold my beer*

This method works on 1.17 too. Me and my friends found that after running around in caves for like 10 minutes, we had like 10 diamonds. after that, we ruled out all methods except for clay diamonds and cave diamonds.

Omg thank you so much for this video!

I’ll use branch mining! I’m so tired of caving SO much and dying from zombies, skeletons, and more! Ya it gives me lots of resources but I’d rather mine safely! Thank you this helped a lot. I started the REAL version of Minecraft a couple days ago so I’m looking for videos taht show me how to make farms, Minecraft tricks, and how to survive and more! So thank you, This video helped a lot!

I’m still gonna be crawl strip mining, and the reason for that isn’t because I find lots of diamonds from it, it because I find strip mine into caves then I find diamonds in the cave

Wifies: What is the best way to mine in minecraft? Me: Clay Patch

It makes sense. Exploring caves is a core feature of Minecraft, so of course the devs don't want you to have to resort to boring, time-consuming methods of mining to find resources.

U deffo have to change the title to "best way to mine in 1.18" when 1.18 comes out

Wifies: What is the best way of mining in 1.17? Me who uses /give: My keyboard is my weapon

Title: What is the Best Way to Mine in Minecraft 1.17? Me : with your pickaxe ????

This man really did all of this sp we can go caving and forget about it.

Cool,i absolutely like this channel,actually,love this channel

commenting on wifies videos extremely early week 10 (POG)

Real OGs remember his Hermitcraft videos

I fricken needed this I was playing Minecraft in 1.17 experimental caves and cliffs looking for iron for 2 minecraft weeks

We gonna talk about how he mined at bedrock level, decreasing the odds of getting diamonds because any bedrock at his feet couldnt be diamonds.

Go in creative mode and get a bunch of ores and get out of creative and boom you can flex on your friends and probably call them "unlucky"

Ok so first you need to find a cave, go in it and mine diamonds with your stone pickaxe! No problem! :)

i mean, yeah, it's the caves and cliffs update, not the mining and mountains update i'm glad to see that caving is the best method now, it really allows for more variety and makes looking for ores a lot more interesting than just mining blocks in a certain manner. it's also probably explained by the fact that the new deepslate makes mining straight through the ground way slower but, coupled with the new cave gen, doesn't hinder caving a single bit since you're mostly just walking through air and fighting random underground mobs. can't wait to see how the deep dark will twist things up as well.

I found digging down in one spot will drop straight into a cave mostly, do the above in this video (caving) then return up the tunnel you created when you dropped in then go around about 200 chunks in any direction and repeat, usually you will drop in to another cave and then repeat. Caving is a million times better and gets a lot of goodies. Always go down with plenty of lights though and plenty of picks.

Great video as always; however, I do want to offer some constructive criticism for Wifies/PSA for people that don't know the context of this video: 1. The original Caves and Cliffs update got split into two parts, so the changes you talked about won't occur until *1.18* , not the current (as of the time I am writing this) version of 1.17. Thus, it might be a bit more accurate for the title to say "What is the Best Way to Mine in Minecraft 1.18?" (or something like that). 2. Since diamond chances are quite low, your random trials are far too small in order to compare most of the different mining methods. Since you only find a few diamonds over most of the trials, random chance plays a very significant role in the effectiveness of the mining methods. Although I personally agree with your main conclusion that cave mining is the best method, only with your cave mining trails did you even hit double digits of diamonds, so the rest of your data is not enough to form solid conclusions. No offense, but it is kind of misleading to people who don't understand statistics that watch this, see the data that is actually far too small, and then think that you are making rigorous conclusions. If you meant this video to be a general guide to Minecraft mining, I am sorry for overanalyzing it, but based on my personal perception of your video style, you usually seem to make fairly rigorous conclusions, so I am trying to help. Also, if I accidentally stated something that isn't true, please tell me so I can fix it as I don't want to spread misinformation.

Another one this is always gonna be good.

I do like I always do. Stripmining until I find a cave than caving. By caving I sometimes go into walls. I also use the lapislazuli trick, which sometimes work and sometimes doesn't.

Used my survival seed # and went into creative and floated around in a moss cave for about an 1.5 hours and found 10+ diamond veins. I tried to strip that same seed and found nothing after 30 minutes.

You should have told about the "scicraft's mining quires"

I just love how he added the old ore textures in thumbnail :)

The examples are in peaceful mode which almost no one plays. so when you say caving is better and faster than strip mining, in strip mines you're not encounting mobs where caves most time spent is staying alive. Personally looking for clay or gravel in rivers and lakes is much faster. Include Lapiz tricks and well, you get more diamonds then you will ever need. Java mode

Here's a trick that I've proved to work most of the time: of you find lapis then mine 4 blocks north of it and there will be a high chance of diamonds being there (Sometimes the diamonds can be above the lapis too, but normally just 1 or 2 blocks above this is in 1.17.1, not 1.18

You inspired me to make my own channel

Pls do another mystery vid!! like the “minecrafts most mysterious”

The cool thing is, the new cave and mountain generation comes out in part 2 of 1.17 according to the articles that pop up in the java launcher. Idk about bedrock edition tho.

I underwater ravine mine, it is a really good method, i just get doors, a boat and some luck, and because underwater ravines are so common, but yet so op, it is a very good mining method
