In some servers, you can use a piston and extend the ore. Try out yourself. Just put a piston next to some ore you mined (if you want diamond ore you need Silk Touch), ONE BLOCK ONLY, and then use a redstone torch/lever to activate the piston to push the ore. Mine it, and you can have the exp + double drops.
