so what's the best place of finding coal now that we know the y level that it generates at well the best place to find it is a stoney peaks or a extreme hills also known as a windswept hills biome that's because we have all of this exposed stone so you have this easy coal at the surface also if you find a cave network around that level 95 or 136 you can also find a lot of coal there and as an additional mining method you could always get this from fossils which i will explain later next we have copper and copper also has a triangular distribution with the center of that being at y48 and so if you mine at this level you will find tons of copper from about y 0 all the way up to y 48 there is a chance for a massive copper vein to spawn in especially around the middle of that area so maybe y 24 and if you're in caves around there it's very common to find one of those we can probably even see one in fact right over there there's one you can tell you found a giant copper or vein because it is tons of copper mixed with granite and there's also the occasional raw copper these can generate so many copper ore that you can find thousands and thousands of the ore blocks throughout these massive chains of the granite copper.
One other awesome place to find copper ore that i would definitely recommend looking is a drip stone cave biome in a drip stone cave biome the amount of copper that generates in is more than double normally there is so much copper on the cave walls floor and roof that you can basically get enough of it to last you forever next we have iron it basically starts with a non-triangular distribution from the bottom of the world all the way up to about y72 and in the middle of that a little bit higher than the middle of that there is a triangular distribution which has a lot of iron ore in it and that is centered at y15 so if you mine it y15 you will be able to find a large amount of iron no iron does have veins just like copper does and they generate roughly from y negative eight all the way down to the bottom of the world but this can change a little bit and so basically if you find one of these it's very similar to the copper ore veins in the sense that they're incredibly large a very good find and feature iron ore blocks of raw iron as well as tough in the iron vein whereas of course in the copper vein.
There is the granite there's a very small area where there's no iron that generates that's from about y73 all the way up to y79 and then from there all the way up to the top of the world we have a triangular distribution that just gives you more and more iron the higher you get up so if you can find a massively tall mountain that generates in that y 232 then you can get yourself the most amount of iron ore anywhere in the game outside of of course a large iron vein and what about lapis what is the best way of mining this blue block so it generates from y64 all the way down to the bottom of the world and that is a straight line distribution not triangular and it's centered at y negative one because there is a triangular distribution that is centered there and this distribution has the most that generates there but this part of the distribution has an air exposure limit so the best way to find lapis is actually strip mining there's not really a special method to get it of course you can trade it from villagers but that's not that quick or a good deal so generally if you're mining around y negative one you can find the most lapis that way but of course caving can also work you just won't get that reduced air exposure lapis although underwater mining can't help that as the reduced air exposure rule does not apply to it there so emeralds where do you get the most of them at well they have a triangular distribution more or less meaning you'll find more of them the higher up you go but you only find them in one type of biome and that is mountain type biomes so any biome that is a mountain type so let's say a jagged peaks or an extreme hills or something like that that's where you'll find the emerald ore with the most of it being situated at about y 236 with there being less the lower down you go from that but it's still technically generating very very low down all the way down into the deep slate layer so it's still possible to get deep slate emerald or actually one of the rarer stores as it does generate down to negative 16. but I would certainly suggest getting your main source of emeralds through villager trading as mining for them is really just a novelty alright next we have the gold so gold has three distributions but two of them are generated normally the first one is a bit larger and it's triangular with the most amount of gold generating in at about y negative 16 we have from negative 48 all the way down to the bottom of the world a small distribution of gold ore but because that's so little still the best place to mine gold if you want just gold would be at y negative 16.
however if you have a mesa biome nearby consider mining the gold there as there is a very large line distribution of the gold that generates in there it starts generating at y 32 and goes literally all the way up to y256 or more or less to the highest place where minecraft will naturally generate blocks you can see here i've removed all the stone and things like that from this area of the mesa we go here from a standard biome right here you can see there's not really any gold there's not really much of anything up here however the second we change the biome to the mesa you'll see instantly we see large amounts of gold generating in the blobs of gold here are probably about as common as the blobs of coal and now for redstone how do you find the most of this well redstone also has a straight line and a triangular distribution it has a very short and sharp triangular distribution that starts about at the level of negative 32 and goes of course all the way down to the bottom of the world and that gives you the most redstone or the lower down you are however there is also a straight line distribution which enables you to get the stone redstone ore as well as at the very bottom here because both of these combine at level negative 58 or maybe negative 57 if you want then you don't have as many orders being blocked off by the bedrock but more or less at level negative 58 you will find yourself a massive amount of redstone i would say strip mining for redstone is a very good way of getting it caving is also great because redstone is not influenced by reduced air exposure you will get yourself a massive amount of this ore when you're finding a low down deep cave and now for the one that everyone's been waiting for and that is what are the best levels to mine diamond at well diamond starts generating in the normal stone layer so that you're unable to get yourself some stone diamond or still as of course if it didn't generate up here that would be an impossible ore to get so that starts at level 16 and it's very little right there but it's a triangular distribution giving you the most at the bottom of the world but of course with the bedrock you wouldn't want to mine right on top of that or you just be going around it or you'd be having ores be interrupted so you want to mine that at level negative 58 or 57 the exact same as redstone again just the reason why you might want to do negative 57. so if you see here you'd be mining up here at negative 58 but sometimes what could happen is a diamond ore could generate beneath.
