    Dig a stairway 2 blocks wide down to first sign of bedrock, then pick the 4 directions and mine a hallway 1x2 for 20+ blocks, then every 3rd block mine a smaller hall 1x2 for 5 blocks deep. repeat in all directions until lava or inventory full. torch placement helps and keep it all on 1 side so if you grid and get lost you can find your way back.

    This is how me and my husband mine. We do the two squares between us as well. I like that someone else has the same idea as we do. Except haven't gone to a stronghold yet.

    I stand on a block, then dig 3 block 1x1 hole, then drop down the hole. Then, I dig a place for me to stand (2 high, 1x1 area) and repeat the process of digging a 1x1 hole not under me. THen, once I get to level 16, I begin to tunnel

    make a stair case till i get down just above bedrock. then dig 1x2 tunnels just big enough for ya to fit thourgh all over the place. it creates a maze kind of thing. after about an hour of this i bust down the maze walls to clear out all the area and increase the ceiling heigt by 2. takes a long time but keeps me occupied and isnt as repetative as normal mining and in the end clears out huge chunks.
    Side Note - there is supposidly 3.03 diamonds per chunk... my luck must really suck if thats the case.

    I mine at level 12, or level 24, depending on how old the mining world is. 12 for when it's fresh and 24 when it's new, that way i get the most diamonds and gold. I just dig down there, and then start digging in straight lines, or make snake like turns, with 2 blocks in between each shaft, this way i dig out all the blocks in between. Or i just go into an abadoned mineshaft and pillage the ***** out of those ***** chests and stuff.

    I normally mine a staircase down to bedrock (2h*1w). And I explore every caves, ravines and mine-shafts i find on my way down.

    THIS! Anyway I like to hit the block as if I am hitting mobs. Most effective method out there. However when I am feeling lazy I hold the button down and let it do the work for me. I like to mine anywhere. (especially other peoples homes. Hehehe)

    I dig straight down till I find bedrock, then I go up 2-3 blocks and go in all direction lol. So if ya find a hole it might have been me. Its a random way of doing it but it works.

    Look for a cave system for 20 minutes, if not found i dig down to 15 and dig straight until i find something.
