Ranking EVERY Ore in Minecraft

One of the most important aspects about Minecraft is of course the mining, I mean it takes up half the name. For the most part, you’ll be mining for ores, and as of 1.21 there are 11 different ores the player can find. This includes Iron, Gold, Diamond, Coal, Lapis, Redstone, Emeralds, Quartz, Netherite, Amethyst, and Copper. However, with so many ores, some were bound to be worse than others. So today I’m going to be ranking all minecraft ores from the worst to the best.

Oddyssey: I RANKED EVERYONE OF THEM

4:53 It’s an actual word, & here’s the exact Google definition: a broken piece of ceramic material, especially one found on an archaeo-logical site.

I'll always have a soft spot for Emeralds, personally! The green hue is just so beautiful...

"Some are bound to be worse than others" A iconic voiceline

I agree with most of the Ore-dering on this list. But something else practical about Quartz that wasn't mentioned: it's easy EXP.
For cowards like me who don't wanna slay hordes of enemies for Enchanting Levels, Quartz is a lifesaver.

Perhaps another list you could make is ranking every crop. If you can eat it or use it to make something to eat, it counts. You could change the criteria if you want, it's your list. Or not make it at all that's an option too.

You should rank all 41 food items next

Here’s some ideas for videos:
Every Minecraft biome ranked
Every Minecraft wood type ranked
Every Minecraft update ranked
Every Minecraft music disc ranked

I got an idea: ranking every redstone machine(pistons, observers, droppers, etc), it would be a really fun idea!

5:02 and I had to reply to a billion comments😭

When I was little I thought Redstone was purely decorative and it was made for looking like there was blood splattered on the floor

My personal list (from the POV of a builder in bedrock edition)
1. Iron -along with emeralds, this has the most uses ever, from hoppers to observers to anvils, all of which are super useful in all parts of the game
2. Emeralds -so versatile, useful, and can be farmed so easily
3. Redstone - Do i even need to tell you why?
4. Quartz - before you start hating on me, just remember that I'm a builder an this is my favorite way of getting andesite and quartz blocks (one of they only ore blocks designated for building besides copper and one of the only pure smooth white blocks) also observers, which are amazing in tree farms, which i always build when i start a world
5. Gold -This is the way to get andesite using quartz, as previously mentioned. I play on bedrock edition where piglin bartering farms are ridiculously overpowered additionally, i like using this for beacons because emerald farms are not as powerful as they are in java edition. These previous four are the only ores that are always very useful, no matter what stage of the game you're in
6. Netherite -Has one use, netherite armor, but it's really good (don't even mention lodestones if u craft those things u are a menace to society)

7. Diamonds -I love Jukeboxes :)
8. Copper - Though this is technically the same as quartz, i agree with odyssey, quartz is just way better
9. Coal - Good source of fuel, can be farmed easily, good early game. that's all
10. Amethyst -Bad, but i love how wattles used the blocks in his wizard tower. also calibrated skulk sensors are good for traps (i know im so evil)
11. Lapis - Useless late game Useless mid game Near useless early game

10:26 not mentioning golden apples is crazy

[-Hamza]

Brace yourselves, the fire protection "debate" sequel is coming, I can feel it

[thetinyperson]

You forgot one detail about Amethyst;





























It's purple

[brunolike]

I'm here before Lapis Lazuli gets last place

Edit: I was wrong ;-;


Edit²: how did this got more likes then the fixed comment??? (Thanks!)

14:24 Lodestones not only look cool but are also the basis of *DECKED OUT*. The massive card-collecting dungeon crawler made entirely in survival Minecraft...

[TwilightChomperEnthusiast]

Ores… Such a great mechanic. You mine them.











What? Were you expecting something else?
