your feet you'll see it but it also kind of generates around the bedrock so this would have been diamond but it's bedrock whereas let's say you're mining up here and you see a diamond door it very very rarely will actually go into the bedrock as it cannot really get low enough to touch these occasional bedrocks that go at level negative 60. but it doesn't matter too much either way and ideally negative 58 is your best level to mine diamonds at now though this is technically the best place to mine diamonds at and strip mining diamonds with a super fast pickaxe can be a pretty good idea you don't always have an amazing pickaxe or a great way of mining it and so what i would suggest doing if you want the fastest way of getting diamonds is to get them through diamond fossils or through underwater caving of course strip mining is your only real good long-term solution but for short-term quick diamonds both of those work well and i will outline how to do those later and now although you do know the best level to mine diamonds at don't click away because there's some very important mining strategies coming right up including how to moss mine how to mine in the deep dark biome in 1.19 which is completely vital to getting all the ores you want to get effectively you may wonder what are the best levels to mine out for a good mix of everything.
so there's two different layers you want to mine at generally you could pick other ones but for now what i would suggest is level eight so of course this would be basically right on top of the deep slate layer you'd be mining right here the reason for level eight is that it's one of the only levels in the entire game where every single orc can generate there as you can see on the chart you can just get every single ore here including even the deep slate ores however you do not mind any of the deep slate so it's still a very quick way of mining and just a great way of getting all the different odds and ends of orders you may want but it is kind of slow so if you want to specialize on redstone and diamonds with a side of gold and iron then the level you want to mine at is negative 57 or negative 58 with the differences of course being mentioned as i did earlier with negative 58 having slightly more materials a negative 57 having less of them being interrupted by the bedrock and so mining at this level you will get yourself quite a bit of diamonds and redstone of course the only problem with this is that deep slate does take a long time to mine and it may feel like ages between all the different types of ores you get but overall if you do want your most assured way of getting all those different types of valuable items you do want to mine at negative 58 as well as level 8.
So there's a lot of different methods to actually mining now that you know what layers to mine at and the first one which is rather simple but is quite important to know is the most effective way of strip mining also known as branch mining and so basically when you strip mine what you want to do is you sort of want to make a c shape as i call it so that's basically one tunnel and then off that there's a tunnel that's going sideways and after that sideways tunnel you go back the same way what you've sort of done is you've gotten an end piece where you can mine from one area and then you'll actually run into this wall but what is the exact length between tunnels you want well oftentimes players will do two blocks apart so that would be one level of strip mine and that would be two blocks in between and then another one what i would suggest doing is actually doing five in between but what i do is i'll mark it out like this so basically i'll mine this then i'll go to the middle here i'll mark out one and then all mine over here so i have five blocks apart and this will give you the quickest amount of materials just because you're not going to be running over the same area as much and so mining like this you can go through here get a lot and then later on if you want to sort of finish out clearing the area you can mine in between those tunnels i would generally suggest doing about 200 blocks long for this tunnel and maybe one to 200 blocks long for these tunnels depending on how big you want your mind to be and that will give you the most effective way of strip mining also i would suggest when mining and strip mining and caving all these different things something you could do if you want to is bring a fortune and silk touch pickaxe or even just a silk touch one and you could mine up ores instead of them dropping into let's say some unsmelted raw gold or maybe some lapis blocks so for instance with something like lapis.
One lapisaur can technically give you up to 36 laps so it's probably not a good idea to mine that with a standard pickaxe that can save you on inventory space if you want to do that but of course, you'd have to mine it up later so it's all up to you but for a big mining trip, a soap touch pickaxe can definitely be worth it now one of the best ways of getting more ores than you normally would while caving is to find a flooded aquifer cave so, for instance, this one here we can see these diamonds that generated at the bottom.
