Mining is one of the most useful things in Minecraft. You need to mine to get resources, destroy stuff, and even create houses. Here are some resources you can mine for.
 * Coal - Basic fuel for Furnaces. Is very common.
 * Cobblestone - Used to create many things like Furnaces. They can also be used to create average houses.
 * Iron - Used to make tools and armor. This ore can be smelted in furnaces to get ingots. It can mine up to diamond.
 * Gold - A fancy ore used to make tools and armor. This ore, like iron, can be smelted in furnaces to get ingots. However, it doesn't last as long as iron does.
 * Redstone - Used as an Electric substitute in Minecraft. Can be used to make circuits and power rails.
 * Diamond - The strongest material, bypassing iron and gold. It is the only type of pickaxe that can mine obsidian.
 * Emerald - Rarest ore. You can't use this in any way else than trading with villagers.
 * Obsidian - Second most strongest block. Can be used to create a nether portal. These generate when water falls on a Lava source block. However, only diamond can mine this and it takes a lot of time to mine this.
