Minecraft Mines
Minecraft mines are found underground in the wider world. Some mines can be found by digging in the Nether. Mines do not have to be metal. There are very few metal ores and plenty of non-metallic ones.
Mines can be mined by pickaxe however, some pickaxe ores require higher quality eg, diamonds cannot be mined by wood pickaxe. In most cases, an iron pickaxe will do.
