I struck forth with purpose today. Notch has revealed that travel to the upcoming Minecraft Hell Dimension will take place though obsidian archways. I don’t have any obsidian yet, as I don’t own a diamond pick with which to mine it. Diamond is usually found pretty deep, deeper than I’ve been yet, so for today’s episode the only way is down.
Loved the Benny Hill digging music :)
Good luck in the quest – you could always dig down to bedrock and start branch mining, which can be boring but you’ll find some diamond eventually… though searching deep caves would probably be more fun!
Dang, Skeletor bests He-Man but is foiled by Diamond!
Jeff: That was what I did.
I built a vertical shaft straight down with ladders (I know I saw it on someone else’s video series) then went sideways until I found a cave system. All of my previous random digging attempts had managed to miss caves completely so this was my last gasp.
