The big issue with caving is that it’s substantially more dangerous. Early game or hardcore, branch mining is still your best chance of finding diamonds AND living long enough to use them.

[funfactor]

Let's be honest. Even if you have a crap ton of diamonds it's still fun to find diamonds

[brayden]

The devs have said(at least I think have said) that reduced air exposure does not effect water, so water mining is better than open air caves at least to a certain extent

[matttheginger]

About 2 hours worth of cave exploring with night vision potions and fortune 3 pickaxe gave me about 42 diamonds, but strip mining at -54 gave me about 34 diamonds in half that time

[amycm]

i like how one of the little loading screen tips still say “need diamonds? try mining at y level 11”

[nief]

I do really like how they've added multiple strategies to mining.

[ninjanoodle]

I've always felt that exploring caves for ores was so much more fun that just branch mining. I never really minded branch mining as a way to get a lot of blocks and ores, but it's not really something that I would consider "fun". I'm looking forward to exploring the 1.18 caves, and if I'm rewarded by finding Diamonds then that is just a cherry on top. It's not like I really need any Diamonds at this point. I think that the way that they have it makes sense for new players that need to find Diamonds for their first Diamond Pickaxe, to fill out a Diamond Armor set, or to upgrade the remainder of their tools. I find it kinda weird that a bunch of Minecraft Youtubers are saying that it's "too easy" to find Diamonds in 1.18 as they are already geared up.

My special thing - the weird thing I like doing in Minecraft - is stripping mineshafts of all the resources. Almost even taking all the wood (but only the wood that I need to make new tools and smelt ores while I’m stripping the mineshaft.)
I love getting lost in the mineshafts and finding how they’re all connected.

[jeffreylopez]

I always use Silk touch when I go mining. Then use Fortune back at base. That way I don't have my inventory full of lose ores. And little more organized.

[grandmabiscuits]

i don’t mind that mining takes a long time, so honestly i just use cheap iron (or sometimes even stone) pickaxes for base mining and mine the ores with a good pickaxe. i mine while listening to music or someone else’s stream and it’s just my chill out and zen time. anyways, my mining is incredibly scuffed because i like it that way.

One of my favorite things to do in a new survival world is to find a large deep going cave and set up an auxiliary base and scaffolding and setting up extensive ladders

[KeithGrant]

I love that they've balanced the two approaches. I wouldn't say caving is entirely "better" than branch mining, since you're going to have to venture out further and further to keep finding new caves a lot faster than you will with mining (though with an elytra maybe that doesn't matter *too* much). But so far I enjoy mixing up my approach with both because the variety is nice

[ziggyzoo]

Although you're hypothesis is actually incorrect, the diamond experiment did show me the actual best way to find diamonds: underwater caves. The amount of diamonds you mined just in the water was more than all the other diamonds you mined before them

[rezlogan]

Tunneling: peaceful, few mobs, guaranteed yield, more sustainable, more efficient use of space, hard to get lost.

Caving: full of mobs, inconsistent yield, motivationally exhausting, inefficient (leaves lots of overlooked ore), constantly lost.

You decide what sounds more fun.

[jinjeredge]

I love exploring new caves, but I kinda miss when there was a method to finding diamonds like the lapis trick

[questionmark]

I mined at like -57 and found diamonds so much faster than I did when I explored caves
Diamonds are not only easy to miss in dark caves but also, as you said, can generate even alone since they are cut off by the cave and ive gotten pretty unlucky
I found so many more by mining the classic way at -57

[ResoluteGryphon]

If you're looking for diamonds early-game, strip-mining is far safer. Caving may yield more but early-game you don't have an elytra to help recon and navigate deep caves, no netherite armor to protect you, no weapons capable of one hit kills.

[panpiper]

If you are specifically looking for diamonds, you absolutely want to dig down to -58, as the incidence of diamonds increases with each level down.

[walterclements]

I liked the experimental version of 1.18 this update nerfed diamonds so much it feels like part 1 release when there wasnt any diamonds too

[crunchywashere]

Fun fact: if you dig straight down in water caves, you will enter a new cave.
