You can mine anywhere in the world, but three places are the most worthwhile: mines with ore progression, mine blocks, and the mining world.
Mines
Mines are a prepared mining area. Ores regenerate – a mined block temporarily turns into bedrock and then regenerates. However, ores are unlocked gradually: you must first mine a certain amount of lower-tier ore.
| Ore | Goal (amount to mine) | Unlocked after |
|---|---|---|
| Coal | 500 | immediately |
| Copper | 1 000 | coal |
| Iron | 1 500 | copper |
| Gold | 2 500 | iron |
| Redstone | 2 500 | gold |
| Lapis | 3 000 | gold |
| Emerald | 4 000 | redstone and lapis |
| Diamond | 5 000 | emerald |
| Nether Quartz | 6 000 | diamond |
| Nether Gold | 7 000 | quartz |
| Ancient debris | 10 000 | nether gold |
- You can see your progress in the action bar while mining and in
/doly. - You need the correct tool, Fortune works, and items drop directly into your inventory.
You can access the mines through /warp Mining.
Mine Blocks
A mine block is a large block with health that all players mine together. Above it is a hologram showing its remaining health and the four best miners. When the block is destroyed, the top miners in the leaderboard receive rewards, and the block regenerates after a while (the countdown is displayed in the hologram). AFK players cannot mine the mine block.
Gems and Artifacts
While mining ores, you occasionally find a gem worth $38–200 or an artifact worth $38–1,000. You can find an overview in /mine menu.
Mining World
The mining world (Mining) is a special world designed for mining. You can get there through /rtp (select Mining World) or /warp Mining. Sell chests cannot be placed there.
Area Mining
Crate pickaxes have the Detonate enchantment and mine in a 3×3 or 5×5 area. Disable it with /detonate off and enable it with /detonate on. Learn more in the article Crates and Keys.
