When mining for resources, there are "levels" that each resource appear. For example, Diamonds appear at levels 11-16 (roughly).

Can someone list all of the ranges for each major resource? (Coal, Iron, Gold, Redstone, Diamond, Emerald, etc)

And for some of the more common resources, like Coal or Iron, is there a range where they are more commonly found? I.e. If Diamond only appears at level 11-16, is it likely they occur more often at level 13 for example?

  • Lapis Lazuli: 14-16
  • Gold: 5-29
  • Diamond: 5-12

Lapis is best found between 17-19 and diamond 12. You can check the y coordinate by looking on your map. (this was from more posts from this website)

    "(this was from more posts from this website)" - Could you edit in the source (links to the other posts) to show the evidence?
