Ive seen too many youtubers bang on about how useful 'tunnel mining' is - but is it really better?
I hope this addresses the controversy about 'tunnel mining' and why it doesnt always work. To some up - if you have a netherite/gold pickaxe, do NOT tunnel mine in deepslate. Anything below diamond (unless enchanted) is worth crawling with.
EDIT: it's come to my attention that the swift sneak enchantment affects crawling speed - something i was not aware of. Given that Swift Sneak 3 reaches 75% of walking speed, it is very possible that crawl mining WOULD be more efficient. Lets do the math. Given we'll be crouching at 3.24m/s Given that 1/3.24 = 0.34, we are faster than ALL pickaxes unenchanted. Therefore, mining speed will be holding us up. From this, we can conclude that when tunneling, we would in fact be MORE efficient!! Thank you to everyone who commented bringing this up.
ANOTHER EDIT: i need to emphasise that the purpose of this video is to address what many youtubers claim, that 'crawling is more efficient'. i do not believe that walking is more efficient, but i believe it is untrue to say one is more efficient than the other. as many comments (and my video) have shown, the efficiency depends HEAVILY on circumstances of the individual player, and so there is no 'one size fits all'.
