Maybe I'm late in noticing this but since I've bought the game, which has been about 2 months I suppose.... I've noticed that after the past 2 updates, HUUUUGE coal veins are much more common. Before, you were likely to find about 10-15 coal pieces in a pocket, but now there are literally like 25-30 pieces in every pocket I hit.
Well I exaggerated when I said EVERY pocket I hit, I guess it's more like every other pocket. Sometimes I'll hit pockets with only 10-15 like before, but much more often than not the pockets are huge. I ran out a stone pickaxe on one just yesterday, but I'm pretty sure it was a couple of pockets that spawned right beside eachother rather than just one.

Really?! Is this while you're on/near the surface (sea level- 64 blocks) or deep below/above? I have found that the smaller pockets are usually right at sea level.

Pretty much everywhere, 5-7 is a rough estimate, although I occasionally do hit 10+ patches. Not very often though.
Ninja- maybe it has something to do with the biomes that we spawned in. I usually seem to spawn near the ocean in every world I generate, it's weird. Where are you usually spawned?

I find more iron now, than when I started Minecraft (Which was 18.7.2010) And same with coal.
My iron pockets are TINY for some reason. I only hit 2-4 blocks at a time.
Anyone else?
I usually just hit 5-7 blocks of coal at a time.
