Every time I go mining, I always seem to end up with loads of coal and copper, but can’t really find the diamonds or iron gear I’m searching for. Does anyone have tips or strategies to efficiently find and collect them?

Sometimes the best bet is exploring those massive underground caverns. You can stumble upon several deposits because there’s a ton of exposed surface area, which improves your odds significantly. Just keep in mind that while they might be a bit smaller, you’ll usually discover more spots to mine.
You might want to check if you’re mining at the right levels. For diamonds, try staying around coordinates Y: -58 to -64. That’s where you typically find more diamond ores. As for iron, look a little higher around Y: 16. Also, try to explore large caves and open areas where the ores are exposed. It massively increases your chance of spotting them since you can see more blocks.
