Holy crap, I just had the best run of mining luck I've ever experienced. I was mining a straight line, 3 blocks high and 100 long, and in the course of doing that single line I got 32 diamonds. I feel rich.

you ever catch me online, let me know when you find diamonds. I got a fortune pick that'll garner more from each block.
