Getting Double Drops from Deepslate Ores

Deepslate Dubble Mod doubles the base item drops whenever you mine a deepslate ore block compared to its regular stone counterpart. To take advantage of this mechanic, you need to mine below the standard stone layer using the right tools.

Reaching the Deepslate Layer

1. Craft an Iron Pickaxe or higher-tier pickaxe before heading underground, as valuable ores like diamond, gold, and redstone require at least iron to drop items.

2. Dig down through the Overworld until standard gray stone transitions into dark gray deepslate.

3. Locate any ore embedded in deepslate rather than regular stone. Notice the darker, cobbled border around the mineral texture.

Mining for Double Yields

1. Check your pickaxe enchantments before breaking the block. Ensure your tool does not have Silk Touch if you want immediate item drops.

2. Break the deepslate ore block directly with the appropriate tier pickaxe.

3. Collect the doubled items. For example, breaking a single deepslate diamond ore yields two diamonds immediately, whereas a standard stone diamond ore above the transition line still drops only one.

Keep in mind that raw metal ores found in deepslate—such as deepslate iron, copper, and gold—also follow this rule compared to their stone versions, making deep caving trips twice as productive per vein.
