       Item Collection Bragging Thread

       So I guess we could make a topic where you can post updates on
       whatever nice things you've mined (like epicaving or strip
       mining).
       Edit: You can also brag about other items/blocks you've
       gathered.
       I've just strip mined
       10 diamonds
       29 gold
       105 iron
       109 lapis
       257 coal
       358 redstone
       13 flint
       128 dirt
       127 gravel
       2176 cobblestone

       Heres a pretty decent haul from exploring the abandoned mines
       plus the epicave/ravine complex. It doesn't include the coal
       that I had to use for torches though and a question for
       everybody, when mining/caving, do you usually toss the flint?
       Also, I was exploring the abandoned mines and collecting rails
       much of the time, but I did mine wherever I could.

       Depends on how much I want to mine. If I go to a serious
       epicave, I toss everything except diamond, gold, lapis, iron and
       coal that I find. I don't mine redstone. Sometimes I don't mine
       coal either, usually I mine a limited amount of coal, and toss
       everything else. During such runs I have gotten more than 9
       stacks of iron sometimes.

       Let me give you a tip for the skeletons, when you get attacked
       by one, hide behind a corner to make them come into melee range,
       works every time. For the situation where you can't hide behind
       a corner (usually an open space), just rush them, or make your
       own corner out of cobble.

       A splunk from today. The cave still has plenty of stuff, and if
       anyone wants to check it, you can enter it from the coords
       (1259,77,-829) where I dug a spiral staircase down. The closest
       station is in Zuntriio.
       6 diamonds
       32 gold
       41 lapis lazuli
       213 iron
       369 coal
       5 chests
       12 melon seeds
       1 cocoa bean
       100 rails
       63 moss stone
       1 slime ball

       So when you do mining, do you strip (ignore that) until you hit
       a cave or something? Then you explore the cave and keeping strip
       mining.

       *assuming strip mining is being referred to as the same thing as
       branch mining, and what I'm doing in my mines*
       Generally I check out the area, both to explore a bit and to
       secure the area from mobs. If its a big cave, I'll at least
       secure the area and move on, if its a small one, I'll just grab
       whatever ores there are and seal it off/move on.

       OK. I just have a verrrrrry minor heart attack, and block it
       off. Then, i move on to the next ore. Once, on my lucky day, i
       mined at head level 12 and got 10 diamonds and 10 gold. Also, I
       have fortune 3 so I got 20 diamonds! Without hitting a single
       cave.
