    Hello ECC,

    I am wondering if I am making the proper amount of $mulah$ with my mining.
    - I use an eff7 pickaxe
    -I go crazy when mining on Y:11 (Meaning I scatter mine, I don't use the branching system)

    Here is my first mining trip using the eff7 pickaxe.


    Am I making the right amount of profits?
    Should I be mining using the branch system?
    Any other helpful tips for maximizing profit?

    Why are you only getting 3 minerals per lapis/redstone ore?

    If you break redstone ore with fortune3, you get almost 6 dust per ore.
    If you break lapis ore with fortune3, you get about 14 lapis per ore.

    This was just a low estimate, I have not broken the ores yet.

    _TANSTAAFL How do you mine? Do you scatter mine or branch mine? ​
    And what level to do you mine at?​
