The 50,000 block long Mineshaft Me (Joshposh70) and Dojodo are digging a 50,000 (Started out at 10,000) block long Mineshaft from spawn to an outpost and beyond. We will be posting reports about are diamond count/ Deaths and so on consistently. NOTE: We have both taken a week break as I am going away and Dojodo is building a nooby residence on utopia How we dig We dig 3 high, 1 block wide Mineshaft's at level 8-9-10 with 2 blocks between us on separate chunks, To increase diamonds. We use fortune on diamonds and lapis. So here are the statistics.Distance: 9000! (Updated everytime we log off for the night) Diamonds gems: 1089 aprox Death count: 0!

Myself and Ryukk did the same thing on SMP2, from South outpost another 13k south in the end. We crossed around 40 ravines, over a dozen abandoned mineshafts and found so many stacks of ores. Hard, dull work though. Good luck!
Nice idea, I look forward to your updates! How about 50,000 blocks? There is a prize at the end, I promise!
