You can do both. I strip mine to gather materials for my big construction projects, but take a break exploring a cave system every time I find one.
I just got back into MC a day or two ago, and it's exciting to see all the changes.
I will say that I'm trying to avoid strip mining though, as that takes out all the need (that I can think of) to explore deep into cave systems for diamonds,etc., and that exploring aspect, because of the risks involved (falling/getting skely-shot into lava, running out of food if you overstay your supplies, or getting jumped by too many mobs and overwhelmed and losing all that you've accrued) was one of the more exciting/rewarding parts of the game, for me anyway.

What? really? thanks for the info, I won't update until I research it more.So there is one change to the new Minecraft, at least it exists in the current snapshots, anyway, that I do NOT like, and that is apparently even when in single player mode, you're still running a server. This has created single-player lag! UGH! So annoying to have delayed sounds, delayed block response to your pick actions, among other things. I'm annoyed enough with Diablo 3's single player lag, but now Minecraft? Nooooo!! I only play single player (at this point) so this is very disappointing to me.

Separated server logic and client. Singleplayer is now a local server.
In the long run it makes more sense to do it that way. Now they can focus on just MP and improve the experience for everyone.I did some research, and apparently it's been around since Snapshot 12w18a

Yeah from a developer standpoint it would seem to make much more sense. But I'm not privvy to their architecture and whatnot, just a .NET dev.In the long run it makes more sense to do it that way. Now they can focus on just MP and improve the experience for everyone.
Nothing new if you've been playing with tech mods for a while.Tons of cool things have been added to vanilla MC lately. If you haven't checked it out recently, you should. Check out the latest snapshot changes:

Note that the current snapshot is 13w01b (with many bug fixes), but the above link details all the newest additions.

Use FTB. The mod authors don't really like tekkit.I was thinking of updating my server to run tekkit lite or FTB. Wasn't really sure which was best.

I'm kind of disappointed that these mods can't run Bukkit anymore. I'm sure there will be a lot of plugin replacements for the new system but still, it's not going to be as good as bukkit. On the plus side, it does look like they are updating quicker to the latest mc version.
It seems like even more of a massive mod compared to something like Tekkit Lite or the new Voltz.We are leaning to FTB now after a lot of testing, we want to go with as few mods as possible and FTB seems a little better put together with it's launcher.
