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.

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. ItMining islarge thereforequantities wiseof stone appears to minebe purethe Deepslatefastest at Level 0, because you are not depriving others of a resource (like you would for an ore) but can more quickly advanceway to Levelget 1.miner XP early on, due to deepslates XP worth being nerfed down to 1XP/block.

Be careful underground, as mobs from nearby caves can and will break into your tunnel.

If near an ocean, using doors to mine in underwater caves works quite well early game.
