I've come back to this world after a long inactivity and you know what that
means! Well, no, probably not, but I'm leaving my home of -10,000 / 1800 for the
new lands of -20,000 / 0.
I took with me my best pickaxe: "everything". It's imbued with the magic of
Unbreaking III, Efficiency V, Fortune III, and Mending.
Apart from the fortune god-pick was this small list of supplies:
<ul>
<li>128 blocks of iron</li>
<li>128 cooked potato</li>
<li>1 bed</li>
<li>3 book and quill</li>
</ul>
as well as a seed for every crop I had:
<ul>
<li>melon & pumpkin</li>
<li>beetroot</li>
<li>potato</li>
<li>wheat seeds</li>
<li>oak, spruce, birch saplings</li>
<li>bamboo & sugar cane</li>
</ul>
The picture above if taken from the target coordinates, -20K / 0, where I placed
one of my iron blocks in the ground. I built a small shelter, pictured below,
upon the mountain-hill.

I'd quite like to build a long, grand bridge connecting Mountain Hill to the
other side. I think that's a far-future project
update:
a little while after I got to Mountain Hill, I started to think and I determined
that I should've left the iron behind. So I took the 126 blocks that remained
and went and buried it in a barrel somewhere. I put a Polished Diorite X atop
the barrel to indicate treasure. I will make another iron farm.
<hr />
i found an cave seemingly cut in half by the surface and i decided to start
my mine there. i diverted a waterfall and built the entrance under it 'cause
it seemed like the most natural looking area to start digging.
My mine is a 3x4 staircase going down to diamond level. I'm used to mining at
Y=11 but that's no longer the best level. Looking at the ore distribution graph,
found on the <a href="https://minecraft.wiki/w/Ore">minecraft.wiki ore page</a>,
i can see that mining significantly below that is worth the effort.
The increase from Y=0 to Y=-59 is substantial. It appears to be a nearly 600%
uptick which makes mining the harder deepslate well worth it in my opinion.

I didn't go all the way down to -59. I don't want to mine directly against the
bedrock, so I moved up three blocks to -56.
