Downloaded it for the PS3 yesterday. I believe I have a new addicting game to play. I havent really got far in it other then mining or chopping trees for wood. I do have a deep mine started and found some coal and iron ore.
Is there any things to look for to have a mine that produces valuable resources, or just dig and hope? I think its available online, havent looked yet but made the option for online
Also, PC is the only REAL way to go for Minecraft.
But the thing to note, some of the mod packs require a LOT of power to run smoothly.
That being said, you want to dig to between 10 and 15 as mentioned before. Strip mining will net you plenty of resources.
This is for PC. I do not know what version they use for consoles. But it MAY apply and if it does, here be advice.
What you want to do is find a village, get the villager's blocked off into their houses (making sure you light it up inside). When night comes, they'll run into their homes if they can get into them. Once you have secured the village, either by putting a fence or wall all the way around, and have lit up the "compound", you can either leave them locked up or you can set em loose. Start building more houses for them so they'll breed and get yourself some blacksmiths (they'll have black aprons). From there, it's easy as spork to have near limitless diamond equipment. Don't settle on just a few blacksmiths either. My last go in vanilla MC, I had 12 blacksmiths locked in stalls. 1 had a Diamond Chest plate for 10 Emerald, but sold a sword for 12. I had another selling a sword for 8, but his chest plate was 15. It varies, so it is a little trial and error.
My BEST advice is, GET IT FOR PC! This way you can run some damn good Mod Packs. Technic Launcher and Feed The Beast Launcher have some AWESOME mod packs. Personally, I really like Feed The Beast's launcher because it's so easy to modify the packs a little, by adding and/or removing some mods. Makes it REALLY easy to get OptiFine in some packs, that's for sure.
