Actually more like 5-6 per second when you're actually mining, but you need to unload to chests, watch for lava, mine ores etc, so that slows yo down to that average... Silk Touch + Efficiency V + Haste II Try it - it's better than creative mode Yes, that's true. That's also true, so it is good to combine that with some farming, xp farming, enchanting, trading etc Off topic here, but for PvP I think the best is if people can agree in advance about allowed weapons, potions, apples etc - so that PvP fight skill matters and not count of gapples in the inventory...
