Whats the best ore in minecraft?

You mean, butter? - break's like butter.
It's Emeralds.

Emeralds are useless considering their rarity...
You can't spread gold on bread, so it's not butter.

Iron is the best imo because it's really easy to find, strong and lasts quite long ;D

 

[Heaplink]

Gold is a good material, however it breaks very fast and therefore is more or less useless if you use it for tools to do much work. Other than that I like diamonds mmhmmhmhmmhmmh.

For

• Tools: Diamond
• Protection/Defence: Gold (Golden apples)
• Xp: Nether Quartz

Let me change that a bit lot:

• Tools:

1. Diamond
2. Iron
3. Gold
4. Coal (Smelting)
5. Emerald, Lapis, Nether Quartz and Redstone

• Protection/Defence:

1. Gold (Golden apples)
2. Diamond
3. Iron
4. Redstone (Traps)
5. Coal (Smelting)
   
6. Emerald (Trading)
7. Lapis and Nether Quartz

• Xp:

1. Diamond
   
2. Nether Quartz
3. Emerald
   
4. Lapis
5. Redstone
6. Gold
   
7. Iron
8. Coal

• Accessibility:

1. Coal
2. Iron
3. Redstone
4. Lapis
5. Gold
6. Nether Quartz (Down here due to it requiring the nether)
7. Diamond
8. Emerald

• Aesthetics:

1. Nether Quartz
2. Lapis
3. Redstone
4. Emerald
5. Coal
6. Iron, Gold & Diamond

• Contraptions:

1. Redstone
2. Iron (Hoppers)
3. Nether Quartz
4. Emerald
5. Coal
6. Gold, Lapis & Diamond

So:

1. 10 pts
2. 8 pts
3. 6 pts
4. 4 pts
5. 3 pts
6. 2 pts
7. 1 pt
8. 0 pts

Result:

1. Diamond & Iron (33 pts)
2. ^
3. Redstone (32 pts)
4. Nether Quartz (30 pts)
5. Gold (25 pts)
6. Coal (24 pts)
7. Lapis (22 pts)
8. Emerald (19 pts)

For those who do not understand the "Budder" reference, it is a term used by SkyDoesMinecraft (A famous Minecraft Youtuber). At least, that was where I learned it from.

Diamond!
its the best from the armor & Weapons.

 

[Macemore]

Iron, easy to find, fast and is almost as good as diamond (In durability)

Actually, diamond tools have over 6x the durability of iron... (251, 1562)
Once you have fortune 3, you end up with enough diamond tools to last you for.....a very long time, you basically don't need to use iron tools.

Hey everyone, what do you think is the best ore in minecraft, I personally think gold/budder is because its so bad that its so good :/ Yeah.. idfk Its just a thing budders the the best in my opinion comment yours.

To me it's coal. It lasts longer than wood in the furnace, and therefore is resource saving when you're smelting iron. Without smelting iron, you cannot make an iron pick(unless you find iron in a cave/mine). Without an iron pick, you cannot get diamonds/gold/redstone.

Definitely gold.

I can rarely see gold wherever I actually travel. It's very upsetting

It spawns from 2-29... It may be more common in the 20's, but that doesn't make me wrong.

Yes but also its more of a 50/50 chance because of the Map Seeds
