Today, i used coal to make 3 industrial diamonds, wanting to make an MFSU. I needed more coal to make 10 diamonds, so I headed underground to get some more coal.
To my horror, I discovered a seam of 6 diamonds.
Mining around, I found more coal to make my precious industrial diamonds.
I then realised, upon producing the industrial diamonds i was one redstone short of making 10 energy crystals, so I headed down to the depths to find redstone.
In this time it took me to find one block of redstone, I had found 13 diamonds.
In an hour and a half, I found more natural diamonds than I had for the last week I've been on this server.
ಠ_ಠ
UPDATE TIME! Found TWO WHOLE BLOCKS of redstone, took their resources, only to find THREE MORE DIAMOND BLOCKS.
Either the Holy Notch is smiling upon me right now, or he's a malevolant bugger, I'll tell ya what.
