Please tell me how to mine diamonds and netherite correctly and efficiently? Otherwise, I’m already tired of walking around with iron tools, but I have no mining experience.

    For iron I recommend strip mining at y level 16 meaning go to y 16 on bedrock click display cords on java press f3 and then just go straight that is iron

    For diamonds same thing but -56 for the y level

    For netherite you want to get some beds go to y 16 mine 6 blocks forward Place a bed Place a block behind the bed in-between you and the bed like deep slate so it is tough then right click on the bed

    well you need iron tools to get diamond and diamond tools to get netherite. There are 2 main ways to get diamond - the first is digging down to just above bedrock and mining a tunnel until you find some (called strip mining). I personally don’t like this method, even though it is technically more efficient, since it feels very boring.

    The other method for finding diamond is to find a large cave that goes down and follow it as deep as you can and then just run around looking for them - they get more common the deeper you go. They appear in smaller numbers this way, hence why it’s less efficient, but i much prefer it since i can see them better and get other ores too.

    As for netherite, you need to be in the nether and dig down to about level 14 (you can see your coordinates by using the F3 key on java edtion), and strip mining until you find ancient debris which can be smelted into netherite scrap. You need 4 ancient debris and 4 gold to make 1 netherite ingot, to upgrade 1 diamond tool to netherite.

    alternativdely you can find ancient debris/netherite scrap in piglin bastien chests in the nether. You will need to find these bastiens anyway to upgrade your items, since you need smithing templates from the chests there to upgrade the gear. A smithing table can be used to upgrade once you have all of these items, but i recommend getting some enchantments on your diamond tools first since netherite is harder to get so combining enchanted tools is harder to do if they are netherite.

    any other questions about what i’ve discussed and i’ll be happy to answer then if i can, and there’s also the minecraft wiki with more information than i could possibly give.
