Tutorial:Mining Guide

This tutorial is an overall guide for.

Basic Information
There are some certain topics that are necessary to get to grips with mining.

Breaking Speed
There are 20 Minecraft ticks per second (1 tick = 0.05s).

Blocks break in terms of ticks; how many ticks it takes to break a block is determined by your and the "Block Strength"  (see Breaking Power) of the block you are breaking. The formula for how many ticks you break a block in is $$round(blockStrength * 30 / miningSpeed)$$

Ticks round: 8.499999 ticks breaks at the same speed as 8 ticks, as does 8.33333333. Once you cross that threshold, you get will be able to break the block 1 tick, or 0.05s, faster. Mining a block 1 tick faster is equal to roughly 150 fortune (another ~1.5m per hour). The formula for Mining Speed needed to cross a tick threshold is $$round(blockStrength * 30 / (tick + 0.4999999999999))$$

If you have the mining speed to mine a block in less than 1 tick, the block will be instamined. However, if you do not have the mining speed to break a block in less than a tick, you will mine the block in 4 ticks instead of insta-mining.


 * Maximum possible consistent tick speeds
 * Jade: 8348 Speed (11 Tick)
 * Ruby: 9201 Speed (7/8 Tick)
 * Blue Wool Mithril: 6940 Speed (6 Tick)


 * Blocks that can be instamined with Mining Speed Boost
 * Mines of Divan Gold: 36,000 Speed
 * Prismarine Mithril: 48,000 Speed (In Magma Fields with Bal Pet)
 * Gray Mithril: 30,000 Speed
 * Obsidian: 30,000 Speed

Block Efficiency
Block efficiency is how much downtime you take in-between mining. This can include moving your crosshair to your next block or ether warping to the next platform.

The higher your block efficiency is, the more gemstones you can mine in an hour. To get better block efficiency you just have to keep practicing to get faster. Your ping or the server's TPS can affect how hard it is to have high efficiency.

Video
A video displaying high block efficiency can be seen below.

Waypoints
Waypoints are crucial to efficiently and effectively mining. They mark locations to easily see where you need to go to mine. There are main types of waypoint, and you can differentiate them as follows. You can use https://soopy.dev/waypointconvert to convert between waypoint formats.

SkyTils
There are 2 variations of the import format:
 * Waypoint


 * (V1):H4sIAAAAAAAC/51Y225bNxD8FeM8CwW5F (Newer)
 * eyJjYXRlZ29yaWVzIjogW3sibmFtZSI6ICJBbWJlciBEaWxsbyIsIndheXBv (Older)

copy the import string then in-game do /st > edit waypoints > share > import from clipboard
 * Import

SoopyAddons
There are 2 variations of the import format:
 * Waypoint


 * AQAAAJ0AATFDTwAAQxsAAEPsgAAAfwAAAAABMQABMkNMAABDHwAAQ+0AAAB/AAAAAAEyAAEzQ0sAAEMiAA (Newer)
 * [{"x":208,"y":170,"z":518,"r":0,"g":1,"b":0,"options":{"name":1}},{"x":207,"y":173,"z":520,"r":0,"g":1,"b":0,"options":{"name":2}} (Older)

Copy the import string then in-game do /loadwaypoints > /converttoorder > /clear waypoints and if you do not want ordered waypoints just do /loadwaypoints
 * Import

Coleweight
Coleweight uses both Soopy import formats as well as the older skytils format.
 * Waypoint

 * eyJjYXRlZ29yaWVzIjogW3sibmFtZSI6ICJBbWJlciBEaWxsbyIsIndheXBv (Older SkyTils)

Copy the import string then in-game do /cw ordered load and if you do not want ordered waypoints do /cw waypoint load
 * Import

/cw ordered delete #, /cw ordered add # , /cw ordered unload and /cw waypoint unload. For any other commands do /cw help

Crystal Hollows Techniques
All of the following methods take place in the.

Crystal Hollows Mithril
General purpose, crystal hollows mithril mining utilize mithril veins generated in the crystal hollows mithril blocks in these veins give around 2x the xp of the mithril blocks in dwarwen mines and because of that its very good for obtaining mining xp.

Gear Requirements <:divanhelmet:1078071823800995922>Maxed Divan's armor

<:gdrag:1090612345459441804>Golden dragon (for levelling), for max rates xp share a second gdrag.

<:divan_drill:1079561084182200331> a maxed divan's drill with refined reforge and a blue cheese goblin omelette

Other mining essentials like equipment and accessories etc.

Powder Requirements HoTM tree listed below Method What makes chm good is being able to level up pets insanely quickly and the most profitable one being the golden dragon, your golden dragon will gain around 2.5 levels per hour at good efficiency. You should be digging 2-3 blocks into the vein then activate pickobulus to use pickobulus efficiently.
 * 9.8m*** mithril powder to max efficient miner, seasoned mineman, mining fortune 1 and mining speed 1.
 * 11.05m/17.35m*** gemstone powder to max mining fortune 2, mining speed and powder buff. To set up lobbies quicker you could max mole that costs another 6.3m gemstone powder.
 * Make sure to hit the softcap for green mithril which is 5334 mining speed.***

Benefits of CHM 5m mining xp/h 1 cw/500k mithril collection 1 cw/60k mithril powder 1 cw/1m mining xp

Magma Fields Mithril
Magma fields mithril mining is a form of mining, which utilises the Bal pets “Made if Lava” perk, which buffs mining speed to a point where you are able to insta-mine the prismarine mithril blocks. Unlike normal CH Mithril mining, which can generate around 5m mining exp/h, Magma field mithril can generate up to 8m mining exp/hour without any event buffs, which is a noticeable buff. Also, it should be noted that this method is not good for pet levelling.


 * GEAR REQUIREMENTS:**

For this mining method, you will have to have hypermaxed mining gear.

This includes:

- <:mining_speed:1110678110346690641> 8.5k base mining speed (48k speed required for insta-mine.)

- <:divanhelmet:1078071823800995922> Full recommed jaded Divans armor, with all perfect gems.

- <:divandrill:1004159739686551562> Maxed Refined Divans drill, with an Amber-Polished drill engine, Blue Cheese Goblin Omelete (Required to insta-mine), Efficiency X. (It’s possible to use this method with a Titanium Drill DR-X655, but you will not be able to use the refined reforge on your drill. Instead, use the Heated reforge for a buff to mining speed.)

-  A Lvl 100 Legendary Bal pet + Lvl 100 Legendary Silverfish pet. (When not using MSB, have the Silverfish pet out for more mining wisdom, and swap to a Bal pet when using MSB.)

-  2 Auto Pet Rules + A Fishing Rod, to efficiently swap between pets (The rules are: Rule 1 - On cast fishing rod equip Silverfish EXCEPT if Silverfish is already equipped. Rule 2 - On cast fishing rod equip Bal EXCEPT if Bal is alrady equipped). Also, if you want more powder during Mayor Cole, instead of the Silverfish pet you can swap to the Mithril Golem for more powder. Also during Cole, the Bal pet is better for xp, so you dont need to swap.


 * HOTM TREE:**

There are 2 HOTM trees you can use for this method.

The 1st HOTM tree you could use is linked here: https://imgur.com/a/lO4MsXM

The 2nd tree you can use is linked here: https://imgur.com/a/e0kaDZT Also, if you are using this tree, make sure to put 5 Polarvoid books on your drill to make up for the 50 speed loss from the lack of Mining Madness.

You may be wondering, “Why is both Mining speed boost and Pickobulous selected?” This is because both abilities cooldowns are independent from each other, meaning that you are able to freely switch between the 2. This is helpful as the Pickobulous ability can be used to break large amounts of mithril at once (another reason for the Blue Cheese Goblin Omelette, as it buffs this ability by quite a lot), and the Mining Speed Boost ability is used to insta-mine the mithril ore. To do this, follow this:

1. Wait for either MSB or Pickobulous ability to run out, and use it. 2. Go into your HOTM tree menu and swap from one to the other (it is recommended to create a Skytils Keybind to open the menu.)

Also, if you are wondering why the Mining Fortune 2 perk is not selected, its because this method does not make a large amount of coins/hour. This method should only be used as a mining exp method, and not as a money-making method.

For powder, it is recommended to have at least 7.7m/7.4m. This is too max out the Efficient Miner, Mining Speed 1 and seasoned mineman perks, and the Powder Buff and Mining Speed 2 perks.


 * ROUTES:**

As with most mining methods, a route is necessary to mine efficiently. Below is linked a Pastebin link to DragoonMaster4's MFM route: https://pastebin.com/W7fGhVT3

Coal Mining
Coal is an ore found very commonly in the Crystal Hollows. Coal mining is a method that utilizes huge routes in the and is very ping dependant.

Requirements

 * (Preferably LEGENDARY)
 * 3/4

A minimum of is required to instamine coal ore. A base is needed in the Magma Fields to instamine Hard Stone while falling.

HotM Tree
The Heart of the Mountain tree used for Coal mining should have the following powder splits: It is recommended to have a minimum of mithril powder and  gemstone powder to start off. All fortune perks should be maxed, and the remaining powder should be put into efficient miner.
 * Efficient Miner 60-80
 * Mole 71
 * Efficient Miner 100
 * Mole 190

Tips

 * Muscle memory is your best friend, the less you think about going to the next waypoint the better.
 * Use soopy ordered waypoints, SkyTils waypoints can clutter your screen so you wont see where to go next.
 * Always instasell your, sell order isn't worth the time.
 * Use Etherwarp to go up, jumping is just downtime.

Crimson Isle Techniques
The following methods take place on the.

Quartz Mining
Quartz is a white ore found on the Crimson Isle. It is not a very common mining method, although it does make quite a sizeable amount of coins, at around 30-40m/h. It is also often used by Ironman players for the Terminator crafting recipe.

Requirements

 * (Any rarity, but EPIC+ is preferable)
 * Any Mining armor
 * Any Drill/Gemstone Gauntlet
 * Any Drill/Gemstone Gauntlet

HotM Tree
The Heart of the Mountain tree used for Quartz mining is the same as dillo mining, as it only requires fortune due to the Quartz ore speed cap being very low. For the powder and powder splits, it is recommended to have / powder to start off. All fortune perks should be maxed, and the remaining powder should be put into efficient miner.

Method
For Quartz mining, the route that should be used are these 3 waypoints:
 * -436, 57, -662
 * -419, 57, -696
 * -440, 57, -687

You should circle around these 3 waypoints and mine all the Quartz veins there.

As for the mobs, you can either kill them using any weapon that can kill them quickly, or you can use an Aspect of the Dragons to remove them from the veins. Right click abilities do not aggro the magma cubes.

Opal Mining
Opal is a white Gemstone that spawns in veins in the area of the Crimson Isle. Opal mining isn't a very common mining method that is used, but can still make respectable amounts of coins (- an hour). This method is often not recommended due to the insane amount of lag in the Crimson Isle.

Requirements

 * (Any rarity, but EPIC+ is preferable)
 * Any Mining armor
 * Any Drill/Gemstone Gauntlet

HotM Tree
The Heart of the Mountain tree used for Opal mining is the same as any other manual mining. The powder requirements are also the same, being powder of both types.

Method
The method for mining opal is quite similar to any manual mining method, with the only difference being no setup time. This can be useful if you don't have time to set up a dillo route.

To neutralize damage from the blazes that spawn in the Smoldering Tomb, you can use a method with the :


 * 1) Consume a Gummy
 * 2) Spawn a T1 Blaze Slayer boss.
 * 3) After its spawn animation finishes, go to your island.
 * 4) Go back to the Smoldering Tomb and blazes shouldn't attack you!

Route
Unlike a lot of mining methods, Opal does not require setting up a route. Just run around the Smoldering Tomb and mine the Opal veins.
