i like to start new hard survival games to learn. sometimes i can find the mines with minecarts and tunnels and chests sometimes. then sometimes i can't find one. usually i can find them when i dig down close to my creation point. like when i create a new game with bamboo forest as the place there is a mine at the same point in every new game. i think there is another game using the seed picker that has a mine. is there anyway in starting a new game to tell if there is a mine and where it's at? just curious. thanks, chas
minutor might be a good solution. thank you very much for that information. that is what i wanted to use to find out what was down there. i am having fun going through the mines and learning how to use rail sections above ground. chas
so far i cant6 igure out how to get the viewers to work. will go to the forums for the specific viewer. chas

If you aren't part of the solution, then you obviously weren't properly dissolved.
thanks for the info. i haven't figured out how to have minutor to open a file. i saved a copy in my hard drive and has a MCWORLD with it but can't find anything yet. i always like the read heinlein so many years ago. chas
displaying my world... ??? before i start playing the world? playing the world, display the crafting table and search there?
having difficulty understanding display map and clicking on search. is that the file i saved of the world? sorry to not understand. chas
i got to see rail and all. i just see 16 on rail or 6 with other rail types but it doesn't change when i click on search. will keep playing with it. chaqs

Use a map viewer to look for the mineshafts and any features.

You can find Abandoned mines quickly by displaying your world and clicking on search, check block name, enter rail.
Check display all on map.
Click the Search button.
Currently Minutor doesn't give you the ability to copy the coordinates of the found blocks.
Download the Nightly Build of Minutor to get the latest version.
https://github.com/mrkite/minutor/wiki/Nightly-Builds click on Inofficial Nightly by EtlamGit to get to the latest Dropbox page. That page will say Minutor.zip at the top. Click the download arrow on the right edge to download the .zip file.

There is also the option "show subtitles". I don't know why but you can actually spot minecarts with this.
