− | This is an easy way to get loads of gems, ores and interesting stones, even in a forest biome. First, build a downward stairway, then keep building up/down stairways. Note: If you're in a mountain biome you shouldn't be going too low or you might run into lava and demons, and you don't need to go too deep. At any random level, do a horizontal "cut" of the level by mining (meaning you dig in one straight line from one end of the block to the other. You should eventually bump into interesting ores (I've already found silver nuggets, galena, garnierite, cassiterite, platinum nuggets) gems (I've found loads) and also some useful stone (I found dolomite, so I basically have a supply of steel). | + | This is an easy way to get loads of gems, ores and interesting stones, even in a forest biome.
