Minecraft players will single-handedly redefine what "strip mine" means in English, and there's nothing we can do about it. (lemmy.sdf.org)

I’ve heard it refer to the practice of mining every block in a large area, as opposed to digging long tunnels and mining any veins those tunnels run into.

I’m not sure if that’s the definition OP is talking about because it isn’t entirely unrelated to what “strip mine” means IRL.
