Minecraft noob, what do?
OK so i built my fort on top of this massive cave system, I've fully explored it but there were no diamonds, It's pretty deep, I've found Redstone but no Diamonds. Do you guys suggest that i just find a new mine or dig down hoping to find another passage? What would you do?
Sorry for the dumb question.
EDIT: Right after i posted this question i ran into this cave, it went quiet far down and guess what i found! One Diamond Ore, my first ever Diamond Ore. Love you Minecraft!
EDIT2: NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I fell into Lava and lost my Diamond Ore. Hate you Minecraft!
EDIT3: Found all my things again!. Love you Minecraft! Now I'm getting out of here!

If you want to find diamonds, dig to bedrock. Then dig about 10 blocks up, and start a stripmine at that level. That's the best place to find diamond ore. It's usually found near lava though, so watch out.
I had to Google Bedrock, I now know that it is found at the very bottom of the map. OK, I'll try that, thank you. (Also happy birthday)
