Use Torches
Light up caves as you go. Ores sparkle when lit, making them easier to spot.
Bring Healing
Caves have enemies. Stock up on potions before deep mining trips.
Strip Mining Works
At depth 50-80, dig 2-block tunnels with 3-block gaps for efficient iron/silver.
Upgrade Your Pickaxe
Higher tier ores require better pickaxes. Copper can't mine silver!
