You usually find plenty of iron/gold/coal/lapis lazuli as well anyway. And diamonds are most plentiful in layers 10-16, hence me stripping that. What I hadn't realised is that you can actually leave 3 blocks between the mining galleries not just 2, because mineral/ore veins are at least 2 blocks wide. That meant I was digging inefficiently for f'in ages <span class="emoticon e_sad" title=":("><span class="e__">:(</span></span> <br /> <br /> I think the likelihood of lava also decreases a lot above a height of 10, or at least that's what it looks like to me so far.
