what y level is best for each ore in minecraft now
Since the caves update my old strip-mining level doesn't give diamonds like it used to. What heights are people going to for diamonds, iron, gold and so on?

Roughly, since the update:
diamonds and redstone around -58/-59
gold around -16
lapis around 0
iron at 16, or up high in the mountains
copper around 48
coal up near 96
emerald only in mountains, the higher the better
for diamonds, branch mine at -58 rather than the old y=11 and you'll notice the difference straight away.
