Prior to the release of Minecraft’s 1.18 update, Y-level 12 was the absolute best place for players to mine for ores. That is no longer the case, though, as Caves and Cliffs Part 2 has completely altered ore distributions in Minecraft. For those fans that are trying to determine where they should now look for the materials that they need, details on the new ore distribution can be found in this guide.
Minecraft 1.18 Ore Distribution
To speak generally, Minecraft 1.18 sees ores assume a triangular distribution pattern, with their spawn rates increasing and decreasing as players move up and down the Y-levels. This means that the midpoint of an ore’s distribution range is typically the best place to search for that particular ore, as it is where the spawn rate is the highest. The following graphic showcases exactly how this manifests in-game, and there are further details on each individual ore below it.
Coal
Coal has a very large distribution range, starting at Y-level 256 and ending at Y-level 0. Notably, coal spawns are affected by exposure to air below Y136, which means that caves will not be good sources for this ore in those lower levels.
Copper
Copper can appear in Y-levels 112 through -16 in all biomes, though its spawn rate is significantly increased in dripstone caves. Regardless of where a player opts to search for Copper, Y48 is the level that they should target.
Diamond
Diamond in Minecraft 1.18 appears between Y-levels 16 and -64, with Y-level -58 serving as the best place to farm it.
Emerald
Minecraft players that are hunting for Emeralds will need to stick to the mountain biomes, with Y-levels around 232 acting as the most-consistent sources.
Gold
Gold can spawn from Y-level 256 all the way down to Y-level -64, though there are some important details to note. More specifically, Gold can only appear between Y-levels 256 and 32 in Minecraft’s badlands biome and only if there is a land mass that can support it there. If a player is looking for Gold in a non-badlands biome, then they should stick to Y-levels 32 through -64, with -16 being the best option.
Iron
Like Gold, Iron can appear at any height so long as there is a landmass that can support it. For players that will be looking for Iron in the mountains, Y-level 232 is the best option, while fans that are searching down low should turn their attention to Y16.
Lapis Lazuli
Lapis Lazuli spawns between Y-levels 64 and -64 but not with a great deal of frequency. Players can slightly increase their chances at finding this ore by focusing on Y0, though only if they stripmine for it.
Redstone
Redstone has a similar distribution pattern to Diamond, appearing between Y-levels 16 and -64. Again, Y-level -58 is where the ore spawns most frequently.
Minecraft is available now for Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
