Don't forget the 8 stacks of redstone either.

Silk Touch is handy, as coal (and especially lapis/redstone) ore blocks take much less space.

[–]filmguy100 6 points7 points ago

I end up with 8 stacks of redstone even without fortune.

[–]A_Piece_of_Pie 2 points3 points ago

He's saying with Silk Touch you'll end up with less.

[–]Anguiish 3 points4 points ago

And with the new 1.3 update, silktouch is easier to get. I've gotten 3 new silktouch pics!

[–]loldudester 6 points7 points ago

And I've gotten none, with 6 level 30 attempts!

[–]Kastenbr0t 0 points1 point ago

Same for me. I'll try the 7th attempt soon.

[–]letakeover 0 points1 point ago

I've enchanted two diamond picks since 1.3 and I've gotten Efficiency IV and fortune II twice.

[–]Kastenbr0t 0 points1 point ago

I often get Efficiency. After the 11th attempt with level 30 I finally got a Silk Touch on a diamond pick.

[–]FusionX 34 points35 points ago

Better mine this coal, I'll surely need it someday. Oh more coal!

[–]shark_vagina 23 points24 points ago

Then when you finish mining out a few large caverns, ignoring coal along the way, you realize you're out of coal again.

[–]SOPA_NO 16 points17 points ago

Always mine the coal. I decided "Oh I have plenty of coal to last me!"

Then I decided to build a glass tower, I ended up backtracking through my mine.

[–]Aurilion 1 point2 points ago

This is why I no longer bother with coal. Much easier to grow a tree farm and split it, half to wood half to charcoal.

Infinite readily available coal source with none of the effort to find it.

[–]Marine436 8 points9 points ago

in tekkit, one always wants coal

[–]AllenJ137 1 point2 points ago

Until you you start turning all of your refined iron, rubber, and copper in to solar panels. Those solar arrays suck to make without the crafting table IIIs...

[–]Your_Mom_My_DingDong 0 points1 point ago

They just HAD to take crafting table III out. I loved that mod.

[–]JrMaynard 0 points1 point ago

It had a duping glitches and caused crashes.

[–]nitrogoku 1 point2 points ago

I need it. I can trade all of it with villagers for emeralds. I have gotten 2 stacks of emeralds from almost a double chest of coal. Now I can pimp my house with emerald blocks!

[–]travis90465 6 points7 points ago

What texture pack? Looks really smooth.

[–]Xomz 10 points11 points ago

faithful 32x32

[–]travis90465 4 points5 points ago

Awesome thanks so much!

[–]Thefreak666 4 points5 points ago

I have a fortune 3 effinciency 4 and unbreaking 3 pick. Trust me, I feel ya bro.

[–]JimJam707 -1 points0 points ago

Pickaxe buddy!

[–]x24penn 2 points3 points ago

me too

[–]krevency 12 points13 points ago

Am I the only one that keeps everything he picks up?

[–]VentusInsulae 44 points45 points ago

"DAE put their things in chests?"

[–]sgthoppy 8 points9 points ago

I thought I was the only one!

[–]Zamiatarka 3 points4 points ago

You came back from a mining trip with unharmed boots? Nice.

[–]runie360 3 points4 points ago

At least you get orbs from mining now. Makes it worth mining coal.

[–]Pyrarson 0 points1 point ago

I would be so happy to have a Fortune 3 pick. I have wanted to mine diamonds in the most effective way for months.

[–]Banthum 0 points1 point ago

playing tekkit with a steam engine setup, i'm awfully jealous.

[–]Zelpa 0 points1 point ago

You could always start transmuting coal.

[–]suchfaggotry 0 points1 point ago

I wish this happened to me I hardly find this much coal man.

[–]Pykoh 1 point2 points ago

Take a Silk Touch and use that to collect diamond, coal, and redstone.

[–]Brenfan 1 point2 points ago

BS! Theres no cobble.

[–]rrandomCraft 2 points3 points ago

he threw it out, as it was useless :P

[–]Noble69 0 points1 point ago

Uhhh don't mine it all?

[–]TheThunderBringer 0 points1 point ago

How do you level quickly/get lucky with enchants? Any tips?

[–]ThatZBear 0 points1 point ago

Adventure Time skin!!!

[–]NiteShadeX2 0 points1 point ago

Works for me.

[–]righteous_scout 3 points4 points ago

its just a terribly generic post, dude.

[–]rgamer35 0 points1 point ago

Only slightly similar. Probably wasn't a good idea to post that.

[–]Hebegster -2 points-1 points ago

What is this game?

[–]appleskillz 0 points1 point ago
