Mining
With the recent update mining has gotten a slight overhaul. Gems are now hidden inside Gem Boxes (we have up to 4 different gem lootboxes) and come from the stone & andesite drop tables. Stone includes: Chiseled, Cobblestone, Stone and Gem boxes. Andesite includes: Granite, Diorite, Andesite, and Gem boxes. Other blocks are: Gold Ore and Iron Ore are aesthetic and drops the same as stone/andesite, Coal (Coal & Salt Chunks). You can use any type of pickaxe here successfully.
Types of Gem Loot Boxes
Dirty Pebble = 10gp Gems
Dirty Stone = 50gp Gems
Dirty Cluster = 100gp - 500gp Gems
Dirty Geode = 1000gp Gems
How to Clean Loot boxes from the Mine.
Make sure you have the available gem loot boxes: Dirty Pebble, Dirty Stone, Dirty Cluster, and Dirty Geode. These boxes are "dirty" meaning they must be cleaned to reveal what's inside!
While holding a water bucket in your main hand open a crafting bench or even the one in your inventory
Place one type of dirty lootboxes in the bench at a time (you can do multiples of the same type)
This will begin a random loot choice from the box.
Every box that fails will downgrade to the "next box tier" and you can continue cleaning them from h ere. Think of this like having a large clump of mud and you wash it off and it is still dirty after taking chunks off!
Drop Table Cobblestone, Dirty Pebble, Dirty Stone, Dirty Geode, Dirty Cluster. Dirty Pebble contains: Gemstones, Ores, and Basic Stone Building materials such as: andesite, granite, diorite, etc
