I thought it would be fun to try to mine the entire mining world as a group, systematically. Here is what I propose:

We mine at y = 7 and y = 11.
We mine all tunnels in the z-direction, holding x constant for your tunnel.
All tunnels should be 2x1 in size.
Tunnels should be 5 blocks apart.

For example, I am starting at the 2250x, -2250z corner and mining on y = 11 and x = 2245. I keep going until I hit the other side of the map. When I reach the other side, I will start on y = 11, x = 2240.

When you complete a row, please post it in this thread in this format:

Code:

Y coordinate (11 or 7):
X coordinate (multiple of 5):
Did you mine a 2x1 tunnel from one edge of the map to the other along these two coords?:

Rows finished for Y = 11:

75x

2215x
2220x
2225x
2230x
2235x
2240x
2245x

Rows finished for Y = 7:

None.

 

i did a 16x100 down to bedrock (on the previous map) and that's only 1/600 the size of a 1000x1000. I shudder to think of doing that 600 times. i'm probably estimating this wrong, but digging the entire world down to bedrock would be 10,000 times the work that I did on the 16x100 pit.

 

and keep your x-coord a constant and a multiple of 5.

 

if we had 1000 people doing it (unlikely), each one would have to do 10 sections the size of the 16x100 i did. o_O

it is technically possible, but sooo much work.

 

Two rows are officially done, and there are more in progress or not reported. We are still doing it, salvaotero98.

 

There are a lot of warps that are near a border. The ones near a corner are:

18, 19, 9
14, 15, 3
26, 27, 6
22, 23, 12

The ones near an edge, but not in a corner:
20, 24
21, 25
28, 16
17, 13

The rest are kind of spread through the middle.
