Welcome! I've decided to keep with the spirit of writing down stuff as a record of what I've done. This time I'm keeping track of my mining activity. https://tinyurl.com/zedomines I will keep track of "daily" changes (Whenever I mine in a specific day), as well as overall mining and worth. I mine with an Max Fortune Diamond Pickaxe. The prices I assign are based on server prices. As a result, I will not be putting emeralds in the total amount mined. Along with that, I will use the conversion of 550 exp = 1 nether star, but I will not include the server price, nor market price due to the large variance in the price of them. I will have some guiding questions, so I will include those along with the answers that I have discovered. Some questions that I ponder, along with answers. How much do I get per day of mining? This is NOT per hour, rather per day, so it's not exactly true to Spoiler: Per Day Mining Stuff 3/14/19- 225 Coal Blocks 280 Redstone Blocks 84 Iron Blocks 14 Gold Blocks 169 Lapis Block 57 Diamond Blocks 4339 EXP Worth: $30127.5 + 7 NetherStars 3/15/19 294 Coal Blocks 370 Redstone Blocks 125 Iron Blocks 37 Gold Blocks 213 Lapis Block 75 Diamond Blocks 5016 EXP Worth: $41978.25 + 9 NetherStars 3/21/19 209 Coal Blocks 233 Redstone Blocks 89 Iron Blocks 25 Gold Blocks 156 Lapis Block 38 Diamond Blocks 3132 EXP Worth: $26221 + 5 NetherStars 3/27/19 144 Coal Blocks 231 Redstone Blocks 65 Iron Blocks 18 Gold Blocks 128 Lapis Block 34 Diamond Blocks 2041 EXP Worth: $21,548.25 + 3 NetherStars *mining reset* 3/28/19 244 Coal Blocks 320 Redstone Blocks 100 Iron Blocks 25 Gold Blocks 300 Lapis Block 48 Diamond Blocks 4556 EXP Worth: $35,172 + 8 NetherStars 4/01/19 294 Coal Blocks 486 Redstone Blocks 122 Iron Blocks 39 Gold Blocks 200 Lapis Block 44 Diamond Blocks 4976 EXP Worth: $35,847 + 9 NetherStars 4/02/19 251 Coal Blocks 367 Redstone Blocks 119 Iron Blocks 32 Gold Blocks 218 Lapis Block 47 Diamond Blocks 4431 EXP Worth: $34,068 + 8 NetherStars *Introducing the Eff7* 4/05/19 522 Coal Blocks 854 Redstone Blocks 309 Iron Blocks 65 Gold Blocks 428 Lapis Block 136 Diamond Blocks xxx EXP (28499 total) (Forgot to take previous measure) Worth: $84,883.5 + x NetherStars 4/06/19 533 Coal Blocks 936 Redstone Blocks 298 Iron Blocks 64 Gold Blocks 488 Lapis Block 130 Diamond Blocks 13150 EXP (41649 total) Worth: $85,722.75 + 23 NetherStars How much have I mined, and how much is it worth?

Always interesting to see a mining report and yours is very well laid out, easy to read. I've decided to do an hour mining run so that you could use it as a reference for what others may be getting. Enjoy. Time: 1 hour Tools: Diamonds set, Max Fort 3 and silk, I Fort 3 all the ores. I use the silk on the stone to /sell hand. Type: Caving through caves, caverns, and pre-generated mines. Chest Finds: 3 Cat Music discs, 2 Ebooks (Feather Falling 1 and Looting 2), horse armor, saddles, name tags, and bread. Ores and Value: Should see a google spreadsheet below. Overall not bad start, maybe I'll post the rest of my trips here too with yours. NOTE: I use Clar's Emporium as values for my gems here's a link.
Incredibly useful, but I’ve decided to not look at per hour runs. I don’t necessarily have the time to do hour long sessions, and I like getting the whole day, even if i mine just for 30 minutes. Thank you! Thank you! Just wait until i include graphs after getting data lol.
Updated, now with pictures! @SirChilledMrHobo @AdmiralD you guys might like this any improvements i can make?
Always good to have some pictures, Interesting graph and data, easy to read and boy lots of Redstone blocks mined.
I've been mining on and off for the past 3 days and tracking my ores up till I when I got a double chest of coal. You can see a chart and graph above in my first post. Coal Blocks - 26390.43 - 3477 Iron Blocks - 31439.16 - 414 Gold Blocks 5670 - 56 Redstone Blocks 5912.22 - 467 Lapis Lazuli Blocks 10593.63 - 279 Diamond Blocks 7847.03 - 31 Total: Worth Total: Items 87852.47 - 4724 I also got 8 emerald blocks and 29 nether stars, although I spent 2 on exp, so 31 overall. I found maybe 8 spawners, not counting spider ones from mine shafts. I found 3 or 4 mine shafts. I found plenty of bread, gun powder, golden apples, and such. Most of note, I found a Power IV E-Book. I only caved ran and harvested ravens, I did not strip mine. I used maxed silk pick on iron/gold and stone blocks, while I used a max fort3 pick on the other ores for EXP. I also learned halfway through that smelting your own ores gives you mining exp, so now I will smelt my own ores. So overall, the time it took me to fill a double chest with coal blocks, I found $80,000 worth of other ores. Overall from the 3 days of mining, I've found around $110,000 worth of ores, exp, E-Books, and other assorted items. Maybe overall I mined for 10-14 hours, I don't really know, I didn't track my hours. Overall a good haul.
I am compiling data for my clearing of a 200x400x4 from on level 13,14,15 and 16. Will come soon just need to finish fortuning coal.
It seems like you dont ignore coal, which is fine but I feel like if you have a select amount of coal that you mine relative to redstone, you get more worth and exp even though coal is more abundent.. Also i have like 3 days worth of data to input so stay tuned
Yeah, possibly when strip mining ignoring the coal will probably be better time wise as you're fine more Redstone and lapis, which are worth more and give way more EXP. I decided not to strip mine and just run the caves taking everything, seeing how caves go up and down in Y level, I can't really ignore coal as I don't come across as much Redstone and lapis always. I think its easier and less time consuming with new/players without max tools and low mining level to run caves as it takes less time the strip mining, you can keep moving and harvesting ores.
I have always kept mining coal since there is so much good stuff hidden that I hated to miss. But you mining masters convinced me to try something new (not easy for a grampa) and of course you are absolutely correct. Thanks for the data to prove it.
Don't I know it After spending years and thousands of dollars to only have mine wiped has somewhat taken the motivation for me to start over again away. I am just too old to have at it again I think.
If you like to mine.. it’s worth every penny. I had one as well on the old server. I’m lucky enough to have people lend me theirs for favors or what not. I will tell you if you know how to mine efficiently you can make a lot of ecd. Just clearing 200x200 I was making 20-25k hr easy.
