Branch mining is my favorite, I always see people go branch mining and leave the redstone or gold behind but I always mine it out just incase there is diamonds behind!
That was a different story for me, there was wierd music playing in the background, sounding like disc 11, I was mining when I saw a new wierd block, I ignored it and heard wierd noises. Again, I ignored them but started getting confused. Suddenly, a loud SHRIEK noise was ignited and I was blinded. I later realized that it was a new structure that I dug right under, the ancient city. I was scared but the kind of scared where it was just silent terror. I never went down those mine again.
Between this episode and the one about different ores, they have been the most useful for me having not played MC since the Nether update. Thank you so much!
Thank you for actually testing the methods! Most people just talk about what would be most efficient best case scenario, so their advice doesn't apply to real gameplay.
Third strategy: -Find Deep Dark -Have an enchanted mending efficiency hoe (not kidding) also, have unbreaking 1, 2, or 3 so you can get a little xp -Mine all sculk -Find a lot more diamonds! How does it have more diamonds? Well, diamonds spawn more in a vein based on if there is air above. No air = more diamonds. Sculk isn’t air, so it works
hey new to this series but as a returning player after a long break this is very helpful! thank you for all the hard work and in depth explanations everyone else seems to gloss over!
Really enjoyed the episode as always. Love the pace of the series and how well you cover techniques. Might have been worth mentioning besides dropping blocks in a chest while branch mining to free up inventory space you can also make ores into blocks since that also frees up space. Keep up the fantastic content! Take care.
Hi Blu. Love how the PIT turned out. Very pretty build. Watched the live stream so face palmed the creeper death when I saw it. But those little buggers are ruthless!!! Thanks for the great videos. So glad you are back. Was missing these videos.
It seems like you hit a bit of a bad luck streak there. Entertaining & informative... But unlucky. That's Minecraft too, not every experience will be the same. Great episode Blu!
Great take! You are 100% correct. Not every Minecraft experience will be the same. I've NEVER had this bad of luck caving. HOWEVER...I've ALWAYS had better luck branch mining. So there ya go! lol
@17:52 i feel like this is a metric often overlooked. i play on a realm set to hard and the last thing i want while diamond mining is to face monsters and die. this is part of why i love branch mining; it's a consistent process with not very many ways to be set back.
Last time in branch mined (java) found adound a pack of diamond ore in 2h (10000 blocks straight and pokes to sides). But there were only 1, 2 or 3 ores veins. While i cave looking for ancient cities (or just adventure) ive found veins of 8, 10 and 12! Diamonds! But night vision is needed
After you get 5 diamond you should craft a enchantment table and pickaxe and enchante your pickaxe with fortune 3 after that you will get more diamonds
It’s been so hard to find diamonds even branch mining that I’m still using iron for my armor but I’m working on my trading haul so there’s that going for me lol😅
It was an off day for me - lacking inspiration - so I went branch mining too, now I've watched this and wonder if you were somehow in the same tunnel, kidding of course, but I too came across that scary of all scary places, but I lacked the courage to keep poking through to see if the city was there. If so, mine may be a double, is that possible? Or do they spread across 600+ blocks distance? I turned tail and ran. Enjoying your content as much as ever!
as a real beginner, i m looking for how did you build the mine, how do you not get lost, how do you go back up, i cant figure out how to make a shield, what s the purpose of the mining cart, and rails...how to use them.... maybe you explain later... but confusing now
Don't get what you mean by how did you build the mine but to not get lost you might place down torches. To get back up you can follow your trail of torches until your reach the surface or dig a staircase upwards. To make a shield place 1 iron ingot in the top middle slot in the crafting table with wooden planks surrounding it except for the bottom right and left slots. The purpose of the mining cart is to use it as transportation, to use the minecart you have to place it on the rails but the minecart wont move much if the regular rails aren't going down as it wont have momentum, to help with this you can place a powered rail every 16 blocks more or less depending on what speeds you want to reach. All of this could have probably be found if you googled it but I hope it helped.
Hey Jay, great video, however I feel like cave searching for diamonds was short lived because you started the timer at surface level and had to fight your way down, I feel like the timer should of started at diamond levels then fight mobs and whatnot
Anytime I stepped out of the cave, I paused the timer. And I was trying to be as realistic as possible about the scenario. If you're just playing, and happen upon a cave, you don't just get to skip past the surface level...still gotta traverse through it. :) Figured that should be part of the process.
I hope they remove the "too expensive" anvil error or we won't be able to max out our gear. Combining books to get maxed enchantments will make it impossible. 😕
Yeah, sadly even though branch mining is more affective, it can still be depended on luck Sometimes, the other day I mined for almost 2 hours and got no diamonds, I was so drained mentally after that and had no motivation to do it again so I just started caving😂
Every world, I build my branch mine. I dig a 2 wide stair case all the way down to desired level. Then I’ll make a hall way going left and right… and the 2 wide hall way, the wall in front of you, I leave those 2 blocks as a gap. And dig a branch down either side of those 2 blocks. Then repeat the pattern on either side of each branch. So it’s branch, 2 block gap, branch, 2 block gap, branch. And I have the stairs as “home base”. I’ll dig the branches down to a nice even number, like 0 or 100 /-100 Then I’ll build this bigger and bigger and bigger as I mine … wider hall way, more branches, deeper branches, turn around and dig the branches the other direction (under the stairs)… But basically create a perfect grid underneath my world, fully harvested of diamonds 😂
so many resources wasted! Pretty sure you even threw out some redstone when you were caving! It breaks my heart to see! yep, at 6:20 redstone wasted, remember you can craft redstone, and raw ores into blocks to save space will mining.
I hate when that crap happens. I'll have diamond armor and weapons and get blown up by a darn creeper. Then I have to fight the midget speed zombies that are wearing my stuff to get it back! 😅
It's actually not. If you're going for efficient mining, and most diamonds without obstacles such as running into lava, -54 is the best layer. At that layer, you can just dump water over lava and keep going. Lower than that, you'll end up with lava pouring down on you, or going through full lava lakes. Not worth the extra couple of diamonds.
Branch mining is my favorite, I always see people go branch mining and leave the redstone or gold behind but I always mine it out just incase there is diamonds behind!
And gravel
Me, on the Nest: “What’s that cooing sound?” Everyone else: “What?” Me: “What do axolotls sound like?” Five minutes later. Ohhhhhhh. Skulk.
LOLOLOL!!!! Amazing!

Thanks for your Strategy Blu I'm gonna do this in my survival world😁

That's a good tip for bringing chests into your mine. I always let it despawn too lol

Get that trading hall done before the changes kick in! :)
Watching blujay put torches on the left side of the tunnel... you place them on the right. Lol
Nah, torches on the LEFT so you know the RIGHT way out. Everyone knows this! :)
Yes!!!!!! Great Stuff BluJay!!
Thanky!
Just got the notification! Guess I'll watch it again!
LOL! Now watch it a third time because I replied to your comment! DO IT!
@@BluJayMC 🤣
At 2:39 I think was was a copper ore vein if you need it later 😁
hi i love how u never rage even after u die
Any videos for how to set up the main mine?
Fly birdie fly……. Noooooooooo
**Splat**
@BluJayGames You should've never taken my comment literally. Amazing what a split second distraction can cause.
This has been fun to watch, but I do miss the Mario world you was doing. Hope that comes back.
Never say never, but for now...it's BG. :)

Thank you so much for the vid
thanks dude it is helpful
i see you've been using only 1 branch mine in this video, will u use the other mines later? or is 1 enough?

Its not an error. All items have an anvil use limit
@@UnregisteredUsername I realize that it's a game mechanic. It was a figure of speech. The point remains.
Gotta love a BluJay video!
Any caving should include buckets of milk, for witches!
Great tip! I never bring milk caving. Might have to start.
I tend to do the branch mining but I have stated a new world and I have had no luck I mined over 1500 blocks in a strait line and found no dimonds
Yeah, sadly even though branch mining is more affective, it can still be depended on luck Sometimes, the other day I mined for almost 2 hours and got no diamonds, I was so drained mentally after that and had no motivation to do it again so I just started caving😂
If only the gene has a really cool item you can put in your off hand that you can decorate and that will protect you from creepers....
That'd be silly. No one would ever use something like that...
Wow. Stay away from those green huggers!
Stupid creepers. :|
I love ur videos
U seen that mountain range?
Theres a chance that there might be ancient city underground the mountain
For the iron mine which level are you using please reply
Your deaths are always entertaining. You really should put a tomb stone in each one 😂
An Easter egg for the world download 😝
LOL! No tombstone! There'll be TOO MANY TO COUNT!!!!
@@BluJayMC are you sure? I think we NEED tombstones now
Blue Jay you should build a mob farm
I am planning to! Just not yet. :)
that is called strip mining you should learn how to really branch mine now that's how you find diamonds also go to -59 not -54
I AM NOT LYING I FOUND A 14 DIAMOND VEIN WTH BRO ( I will get cords and seed where I found it soon for u to see )
Every world, I build my branch mine.
I dig a 2 wide stair case all the way down to desired level.
Then I’ll make a hall way going left and right… and the 2 wide hall way, the wall in front of you, I leave those 2 blocks as a gap. And dig a branch down either side of those 2 blocks.
Then repeat the pattern on either side of each branch.
So it’s branch, 2 block gap, branch, 2 block gap, branch.
And I have the stairs as “home base”.
I’ll dig the branches down to a nice even number, like 0 or 100 /-100
Then I’ll build this bigger and bigger and bigger as I mine … wider hall way, more branches, deeper branches, turn around and dig the branches the other direction (under the stairs)…
But basically create a perfect grid underneath my world, fully harvested of diamonds 😂
And I create a storage system down there for all the different blocks.
Blu, haven't you learned to not taunt the creepers? They hold grudges.
so many resources wasted! Pretty sure you even threw out some redstone when you were caving! It breaks my heart to see! yep, at 6:20 redstone wasted, remember you can craft redstone, and raw ores into blocks to save space will mining.
LOL!!! Don't worry - I picked up the redstone. I just threw the cobble on the ground. ;)
If you fell to bedrock how'd you get your stuff back cause there was no lift 😲
2 words. Water. Bucket.
Wow how do you build like that?
Whats the point of the torches below the house?
If I recall correctly - I did that just to spawn proof it. Make sure nothing spawned under the house.
I hate when that crap happens. I'll have diamond armor and weapons and get blown up by a darn creeper. Then I have to fight the midget speed zombies that are wearing my stuff to get it back! 😅
Branch or strip mining?
What is the seed we all want it please blu
Can I please be the comment of the day.
My question is : Will you reveal the seed after you beat the dragon
No. I will reveal it BEFORE I beat the dragon. :) Most likely.
Seed?
Blujay whats the seed?
I haven’t said yet. Not giving it out yet. 🙃
I just done exactly the same technique and come out with 2 diamonds in an hour how?😂
Bad luck
Bedrock guide 😮
YAY!!!
One thing
🛡️🛡️🛡️🛡️🛡️🛡️🛡️💯
I know...I know. :)
What seed is this
tip: bring a sheild, really, it will save you.
Every time I mine for diamonds I always run into gravel :(
Hi blujay please upload regular videos
Dude can go on -59 Thiers no bedrock to round into bacause it is the highest point of bedrock
Lava Pools. 👀
I don't know why the creepers have it in for you…?😂😂
They hate me so much.
@@BluJayMC They like you so much they just want hugs. lol
To find diamonds you can use an X-ray texture pack aswell
GET A SHIELD!!!
Maybe... :)
@@BluJayMC Ok :)
Honestly y-59 or -58 is better
It's actually not. If you're going for efficient mining, and most diamonds without obstacles such as running into lava, -54 is the best layer.
