mining

What problem does it solve?

Diamond mining becomes frustrating and wasteful when ore levels are misunderstood, the wrong blocks are checked, or tools are misused, causing mined attempts to yield nothing.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Correct diamond height targeting: Focuses diamond ore search around y ≈ -58 in Minecraft 1.18+, replacing obsolete guidance from earlier versions.
• Block-type awareness: Guides searching for both deepslate_diamond_ore and diamond_ore since deepslate variants dominate below y=0.
• Tool requirement for successful drops: Ensures the use of an iron_pickaxe so diamond ore yields diamonds instead of dropping nothing, with clear crafting guidance.
• Efficient traversal strategy: Recommends descending quickly with go_near (pathfinder dig-straight-down) and relocating after exhausting a vein to avoid tunneling the same corridor.

Quick Start

Use the mining skill to help your agent locate diamond ore by descending to around y=-55, using an iron_pickaxe, searching for both diamond ore variants, and relocating once a vein is exhausted.
