Building out your Minecraft empire requires that you explore and find all the necessary ingredients, ores, supplies, and food necessary to be able to do everything you possibly want. One of the basic parts of exploring Minecraft is to build your own mines and extract all the necessary ores you need to build things in the game. The more advanced your mine, the more advanced your game will become. When you want something more strategic than simply crafting blocks and items, look to this chapter to find the basic techniques for mining ores.
