I excavated a fossil and found 26 diamond ores inside it
During my mining trip I came across this fossil. I was excavated it and found26 diamond ores inside/around it.
Definitely my luckiest fossil find I’ve had!

I was digging tunnels through my world when I stumbled across this. Two mob spawners generated right next to each other, with a geode between them and lava flowing into it. It looks absolutely amazing.
I've been playing on this survival world for about three years, and today I stumbled across something I've never seen before.
While branch mining in the deepslate layers, I found 25 connected diamond ore blocks, all in a single chunk. From what I've read, the largest normal diamond vein is supposed to be 23 blocks ( or am I outdated?), so I'm guessing this happened because two veins generated next to each other.
Has anyone else found a vein this large in survival? Does anyone know roughly how rare a 25-connected vein in one chunk actually is?
I saw this really interesting post a couple of days ago where a guy visualized his deaths in a pie chart. Then I went through my "Times Mined" stats in my forever world in Minecraft and took 15 of my most mined blocks + others and turned them into a pie chart.
Some things like stone were absolutely expected, but others, such as wet sponge, were really surprising to me. What also surprised me is that Andesite, Granite, and Diorite are so close together!
Now I'm wondering, what are your top mined blocks in your forever world(s)?

Built by my friend on our vanilla survival SMP. Since one of our friends built a base far away from us, we weren’t really able to help him out before. Now we can teleport back and forth, which makes it so much easier to trade resources and support him since we have way more farms than he does. The fact that you can use an ender pearl stasis chamber as a teleporter in vanilla Minecraft still blows my mind.
Bonjour les Bretons. Je viens d'acheter une crêpière Krampouz à gaz. J'ai rodé la plaque en fonte. Une fois la plaque refroidie après ma première sortie au marché, la patine a commencé à s'écailler. C'est là que j'ai découvert ces microfissures (Photo : flèche bleue). Quelqu'un sait-il si c'est normal ou non ?

Nothing new, but it’s often forgotten that we have a star in our neighborhood that could go supernova relatively soon. „Soon” in an astronomical sense can still mean 10,000–100,000 years. It always amazes me that when I observe Betelgeuse through my telescope, you can actually see the flickering light coming from this red supergiant, which is roughly 650 light-years away from us. Betelgeuse is about 1,000 times larger than the Sun, but only around 15 times more massive. Definitely my favorite star!
I recently bought a Krampouz crepe maker with a cast-iron plate and seasoned it exactly according to the manufacturer's instructions. I used it all day at a market, but when it finally cooled down, the patina started flaking off. After cleaning the surface, I noticed cracks in the plate itself. The manufacturer claims this is normal (according to the images I uploaded), but I disagree. Has anyone else experienced this, are cracks in a cast iron plate normal?
I’m currently digging trenches for my perimeter on our SMP server using a trencher (tnt duper). I wanted to see how many deepslate ores I would get by the end, and the result amazed me
