The new ore added in 1.16 is very rare and everyone wants to get their hands on it. During my early game beds were an obvious choice for how inexpensive it was. But now that I'm late game, I would like to mine ancient debris the most efficient way.
What is the least time consuming way to get debris?
Points to keep in mind:-
- material isn't a problem since I have a pigman xp farm that gets me around 75000 xp/h, a ghast tear farm, an ender-ender, a creeper flush farm and a sand duplicator (if I don't have any I will build them).
- AFKing isn't a problem since I can leave the PC on for extended periods of time
- Things I need to do when mining(like pickaxe repairing – note I only have enough netherite for six picks currently and also I will mine ~2k blocks out with a nether roof hole) will count towards my time.
- the current ways I'm considering are tnt chaining, end crystal mining, pickaxe instamine and tnt dupe craters.
If you have your own method feel free to elaborate.
