Insane Diamond Trick! Instant Results!

Hello everyone and welcome back to another minecraft tutorial in this video I’m going to show you the most effective way to get yourself lots of diamonds in Minecraft and that is through branch mining now if you’ve played this game before and pretty sure you know what branch

Mining is all about however I am going to show you the science behind how we figure out the best way to do branch mining and for this we will be looking at every little detail but the first and most important thing you have to understand is that the amount of time

You put into branch mining is the key factor to getting diamonds it may seem like caving is faster but when caves run out it can take you some time to find another one and so branch mining will mean we are always at the Diamond level ready to find them so let’s start off

With the basics if you’re going to mine for diamonds you must use a fortune free pick otherwise you are going to get one diamond for every or you can also use silk touch to pick up the ore if you don’t have fortune free available the next thing you will need is a diamond

Pick with the best efficiency enchantment you can get the reason why it is simple the faster you mine blocks the faster you can branch mine and find those diamonds if you’re going to dedicate an hour to branch mining you don’t want to do it with a wooden pick

Because you’ll cover far less ground so we have established the basics but we want to know what’s the best height to mine for these diamonds and what’s the best branch mining method and this is where we get into the science so from the Minecraft Wiki I have gathered this

Chart that shows us the best levels – mine are between y 12 and y 5 so now we can take this information into a test world and figure out the best way to mine so what you see right here are some blocks to represent where we go mining

The wall blocks represent the blocks we are mined to make up our branch mind tunnel the stained glass represents the blocks we are now able to see because of the ones we have mined to make it a little clearer this is our pathway which we have exposed and these are the blocks

We can see around them with this we can calculate how many blocks we are exposing as we mined so for every 2 blocks we will see 8 which is a ratio of 1 to 4 and this is why your tunnel should be 2 by 1 I’ve seen some people

Creating larger tunnels that are too wide and 4 too wide it means for every 4 blocks that you mine you expose 12 which is a ratio of 1 to 3 and what’s important for our mining is that we get the biggest ratio of blocks mind 2 blocks

Exposed the bigger the ratio the faster we will be able to find those diamonds so to increase the ratio of blocks mined two blocks exposed we are going to introduce poked holes to our 2 by 1 branch mine every 4 blocks along we are

Going to dig a hole as far out as our pit goes on either side then continue mining this will increase our blocks explosed ratio up to one to four point one one one recurring this is only a slight increase however over long periods of time spent branch mining it

Will make a big difference now you may be wondering why these poke holes are not so close together the reason why is because the diamond door usually spawns in a two by two block like this so if there is a diamond in the middle you’re

Going to expose it on one of the sides with that established the next thing to consider is what height we mine at with the branch mining technique we will expose more ores in this range here than any other height but that doesn’t make too much of a difference because the

Amount of ores is fairly consistent between y 5 and y 12 so the height i’d recommend branch mining at is y 10 when you see this number on your every screen the block below you is 9 your head height is 11 and above you is 12 so if

You went any higher you would get less diamonds over time so if you want to use this technique then mine at y 10 and keep a gap of 11 blocks between each of your branches so you don’t overlap the areas you’re exploring I’d also recommend making this gap bigger if you

Are looking for more than diamonds as you will often dig into the areas between the branches as you discover the more common ores so if all of that established there are a few more tips to keep in mind always bring a water bucket with you you’re

Bound to run into the lava lakes and having to turn it all into obsidian will make it much easier to get around or so having a fire resistance potion ready on your hotbar is a good idea if you don’t have decent army yet just in case you

Get caught out when you do run into lava lakes don’t let the completest in you dig through the obsidian just dig over the top and continue branch mining on the other side this will mean you are spending more time mining for those diamonds if you happen to mine into a

Cave or a mineshaft be sure to have a quick exploration of the areas below level 16 there’s a good chance you may find some diamonds as the area has already been exposed and it’s easy to navigate through if you’re collecting other ores when branch mining be sure to

Make poke holes if these ores lead you away from the main part of your branch mine this practice will help you expose more and more blocks over time and it will increase your overall diamond haul with speed being important you could take advantage of speed potions if ever

Your inventory is full and you need to make a journey home to drop off some items then a speed potion will save you some time and an ender chest may also help you with this problem so consider bringing one along if you have a silk

Touch pick to pick it back up you could also make use of a beacon for speed if one is in range the haste effect will also increase your mining speed and if you have efficiency 5 you’ll be able to instant mined blocks so if you have a

Spare beacon that you can set up in the area is going to help you mined in a 50 block radius however setting up a beacon does take some time one final tip is to have a good food supply if you’re eating rotting flesh when branch mining it’s only going to slow you down

Every time you stop to eat and that is all the information I have on finding diamonds I hope this information was useful for you if you enjoyed the video please do leave a like and share this video it will be greatly appreciated as you may have heard rumors

That diamonds are more likely to appear next the lava this is of course nonsense and if you’d like to know why then check out the myth-busting episode linked on the screen and in the description box but that is it for this video so as always thank you very much for watching

And I’ll catch you next time
