Unlocking Bonus Diamonds and Rare Resources from Ores and Stone

Mining Stone and Surface Materials

DarkMining rewards regular excavation by adding bonus rolls to standard blocks. Instead of only yielding basic stone or sand, mining terrain can drop unexpected equipment or minerals.

1. Use a pickaxe to mine through underground stone. Along with regular cobblestone drops, the mod rolls for bonus resources such as lapis lazuli.

2. When clearing sand blocks on beaches or deserts with a shovel, watch for bonus utility items, such as an iron bucket, dropping alongside the sand.

Maximizing Ore Veins for Diamonds and Emeralds

Breaking ore blocks offers the chance for even greater rewards through the mod's bonus loot system:

1. Locate standard ore veins while exploring caves or branch mining.

2. Break the ore blocks using the appropriate pickaxe tier.

3. Watch for valuable bonus items. Mining ores gives you an added chance to receive top-tier resources, such as diamonds and emeralds, in addition to the standard ore drop.

4. You never lose your standard haul; the mod's weightage system guarantees that the normal vanilla drop is retained while rolling separately for bonus rewards.
