I've just started mining and everywhere I go leads to someones tunnel. Most of the world is tapped and it's so annoying. I've been to a lot of places around the map and most of them are tapped.
It really sucks!
Any advice? Will there be a ore refresh or something at some point?
Everyone will tell you to go further out, but my advice is to go further in towards spawn. Only a handful of people risk mining near any 0 coordinate. I've found far more near the roads than I have anywhere else on the map.
Oh really? I've been mining around the 3000s so I might have to move then.
Also, do you know if you get less exp per block if you use different pickaxes?
I was getting 15 exp from redstone, but then i dinged 30 and specialised and now it's reduced. (I also switched to a diamond pick at the same time so I'm not sure what the issue is)
