The main thing to notice is the ores are distributed at random heights in disks at various angles. Some ores have wider disks than others. Quartz has the widest disk by far, but most disks are around an average of 5.5 blocks wide. The overall shape of the ore disk will typically be shaped similarly to the surface above and will always cover the same horizontal area. This means that regions with flat ground will also have "flat" ore disks, and where the surface is jagged, the disks will be tilted and distorted. Thus, in flat areas mining horizontally reduces your chances of finding an ore disk. In flatter areas, creating vertical mine shafts can increase your chances of locating an ore vein. This continues to be true until the surface is jagged enough that its slope is greater than the width of the ore disk. | ||

In general: For vertical shafts, the chance of finding an ore disk is always the same, but for horizontal mining shafts the chance of finding an ore depends on the general shape of the surface. | |||
