What Makes This Special

The Miner addon brilliantly addresses the isolation of underground exploration by populating caves with purposeful NPCs. The specialization system - one trader each for diamond, gold, and iron - creates interesting decisions about which miners to seek based on current needs. The four-tier progression mirrors villager advancement but adapted for mining contexts, possibly offering enchanted pickaxes, rare ores, or exclusive mining equipment at higher levels. Natural cave spawning means miners appear organically during exploration rather than requiring surface trips to villages. This transforms mining from a solitary activity into a social economy where players might mark miner locations, create underground trading posts, or protect valuable traders from cave dangers. The emerald currency maintains consistency with Minecraft's economy while making emerald mining more valuable.
