I am digging pretty deep, but my map kind of sucks and I blow through picks constantly. I may have picked the wrong area to set up camp since I have so little time to explore.Quote:

Planting some seeds for food. Once thats done, I'll make an underground forest for trees.

I finally managed to find enough time to mine all the way down to the bottom(?) of the map. Came across a small cavern with rubies and diamonds. I can't seem to mine them though, do I need a higher quality pick? I'm only using the stone pick at the moment but have enough iron to make a better one.
Also, ran into a creeper in the cavern and died - good thing I just decided to make a home right next to the respawn point :) First time I made a home it was pretty nice but I could never find it again after a death.
You can mine with stone but It'll take a long time. Make an iron pick and then a diamond pick. Diamond picks are awesome and last a long time.Quote:

If you find lava, you can dump water on it to make obsidian. Its a ***** to mine but the best material against explosions.
A castle of obsidian would be epic.
You require an iron pick to mine gold, diamond and redstone. With anything less than iron you just break the ore and get nothing.Quote:

Ahh ok thanks guys - I was trying my stone pick on ruby but just keep breaking it apart with no results. I also had no idea the map was essentially bottomless - that's really cool, I figured when lava sowed up you were at the approximate bottom.
Well, you hit a stone that is unmineable eventually. You can find gaps, but don't go too far down or you fall through.Quote:
