Miner
Miner is one of seven classes available to choose from in the CivLabs plugin.
A miner's main role is to mine ores that can be used by Blacksmiths to craft better tools, closely linking their abilities with those of Blacksmiths. Only high-level miners are able to mine better ores.

Mining a resource (e.g. Iron) is shorthand for breaking the ore block of that resource (e.g. Iron Ore) and collecting the resource item (e.g. Raw Iron).

Class Interactions
The Miner is the first step in the process of improving gear. They mine ores of increasing value in tandem with their increasing level. The next step is the Blacksmith, who can turn the ores into tools and armor. The miner in turn requires improved pickaxes, which can be supplied by the Blacksmith in quantity. Therefore, the two classes often work hand in hand to benefit both.
Guide
If a miner attempts to mine a block of a higher level requirement, the block won't drop but the miner will still get XP from breaking the block. It is therefore wise to mine pure Deepslate at Level 0, because you are not depriving others of a resource (like you would for an ore) but can more quickly advance to Level 1.
