Insofar as I've been able to tell, the only thing you can't mine with a gold pick is ebonstone.

Anyway, re: Jungle, I went in with silver armor + mining helmet and an enchanted boomerang. Set up a little hornet farming station (4 blocks on left and right of character, two platforms just above), pointed my cursor up, and turned on autohotkey until I basically had full cobalt and enough stingers to make a thorn chakram. Then it was running around killing maneaters for vines and collecting roses until I had enough to finish the chakram and make an ivy whip. The occasional skeleton attack even got me my first hook, so it was all good.

You can set up an even better hornet farming station if do something like so:

Code: [Select]

PP###
OOCC#
#OCC#
#OCC#
#####
P = platform, O = open space, # = block-of-some-sort, C = Character. Then just shoot a rang (or flail-type weapon) out the opening. Can also just swing a sword or pickaxe, but that takes a lot longer. Then you just hold down the button (or toggle autoclick) until loot showers you from the sky.

For looking at your generated maps in one large png picture, useful to find out where everything is.

Though I'm pretty sure that's a large world, I'm also pretty sure anyone's concerns that they might ever run out of room can be safely put to rest.
