I'm just about to start my first mine, and I remember seeing pictures on the forums of the 'best mining pattern' which looked a bit like a repeating spiral. It looked so awesome!
But unfortunately I didn't save the image, so I was wondering if anyone here had a copy of it (if you know what I'm yammering on about) but otherwise, does anyone have any tips?
Also I'm mining just above layer 12... is that right?

Pigs can mine too, you know. Treat them as your equals.
Racist assholes.
Yeah, you should mine "at" layer 12.6 (use f3) and use the X-Mine. It's extremely effective (in two of the four branches I found 46 diamonds). I love it. Hope you can find use for it.
Wow. Thank you so much. This looks freaking awesome, and I actually can't wait to mine. It's brilliant. Soooo easy to do and remember, and so efficient. No way to get lost, and incredibly fast to get to and from your starting and mining point.
+1 Rep for you.

Thanks! And I'm currently at 13.6 so I'll just drop down a block. :smile.gif:
And typeofthingactually, I would, except I'm doing the hardcore challenge and I don't want to die! :tongue.gif:
According to NZPhoenix, if you're JUST looking for diamonds, 12 is fine, but 14 actually has the same amount of diamonds, coal, redstone and iron as 12, but 3 times as much lapiz lazouli.
