Question
How far do I need to dig to find good minerals and materials for good items? I think I've been digging for almost 200 blocks now and all I find is copper, iron, silver and gold. Where do I find good minerals like amethyst and such, to make lightsabers?
Answer
There are only a few rules to the spawning of ores and minerals and so far elevation really is not coming into play.
- Ore (Copper, Iron, Silver, Gold) can appear anywhere.
- Minerals only seem appear in stone (Ive yet to see any cluster of minerals in dirt alone)
- Hellstone is found, oddly enough, in hell. (Could be considered elevation restriction)
- Metorite comes from metors
- Demonite comes from Demons (Bosses)
Elevations do not seem to matter. I have found everything from copper to gold directly on or 1-2 layers of dirt below the surface of the map (not depth level 0, but the actual surface). I have also found minerals in stone out-cropings near the surface (Yet to find one actually On the surface but still above 0 depth according to a depth meter). It should be noted that all the minerals I have come across so far are on the edge of the stone veins, I am not suggesting coring through the middle of a large collection of stone looking for them.
Hope this helps
