@@TheShadowofevolution you.... dig down from the center, aka the highest block. If you're standing on the block you're mining in a 2x1, then you might as well do a 1x1 straight down... The 2x1 is so you can stand on both at the same time, or the highest of the two as you alternate.
Even with the slight decrease in efficiency, the two-block method has the additional advantage that you can turn one side into a quick drop and the other into a bubble elevator.
Statistically, if carrying a shulka box full of diamond blocks, you have a 100% chance of your character tripping, killing you and dumping only your shulka box into the lava pool that you didn't know was 20 blocks away. And your pet dog will dive in after it.
Raw diamonds makes it 25% chance, any diamond tools make it 50%, diamond armour makes it 75%, full diamond armour and tools make it 100%. Anything enchanted boosts the chance by 15%
actually true, i once was mining diamonds then i found a ravine, barely fucking peeked into the ravine to see if there were mobs and boom, a creeper destroyed me, and when i came back i discovered that all of my items were safe, except for the diamonds i had been mining and my only remaining shulker box, they flew 50 meters into a lava pool that was honestly not close at all to the place i died in, but hey at least i have 3 stacks of coal, 2 stacks of blocks of redstone, a stack of wood planks and my trusty diamond hoe.
Just turn on subtitles; since they display every sound generated by the game, you'll catch yourself coming near lava or caves long before you fall into them and can swap to a safer technique
I would understand if he didn't play for the past 8 years. Back then efficiency was broken. All you needed was a pickaxe, you could break through gravel, wood, wool, and glowstone. Then a patch hit that made efficiency not work on blocks that the tool wasn't for. You could break obsidian with a shovel quite fast.
Yeah i used to do it all the time and when I began watching java edition videos and heard people say “Never dig straight down” and I thought wait What!
@@christopherjones2301 Exactly, and doing it 'properly' only takes 40 seconds more per shaft. So for digging a hundred shafts that's about an hour. But an hour is FAR less than the time it'd take to replace full diamond gear 11 times.
I think we need an updated version of this, now that bedrock is twice as low, already doubling the chances of danger, on top of the new massive caves that are just as dangerous as ravines, and far more common.
@@LevantWasTaken if you have a water source placed and you break the block under it the source will stay but the water will flow downnso you won't have on block of water...
Players in the new 1.17 update: Player (After watching this video) : I *should* dig straight down! *falls into a 200 block tall cave and dies of fall damage instead of lava* Player: ugh
@El Señor Spook I'm talking about literally any of them. They never ever learn about the most basic things or at least they don't care and there is plenty of mining dirt with pickaxes.
gotta get that ad revenue amirite bois edit: apparently other people think i’m angry that mumbo made the video 10 minutes, i was just trying to make a joke like come on
Depending on the version they may never generate within the boundaries of the random numbers he was generating, so I can categorically say, on certain versions it is 0%
Digging straight down is a viable strategy if you stand between two or even better four blocks at the same time, so that you can see if there’s lava or other beneath you before you fall, always remember to bring enough ladders though
This is exactly what I was thinking, the danger of lava is not just in the pillar you're digging but in the four cardinal direction pillars you're touching as well because of the flow, obviously same with water but that's deadly.
He did. At 1:55 he was looking at the lava to see if there was at least a one-block distance between it and the hole. But it was actually for no reason as the lava was diagonal to the hole.
My maths is probably way off but i assumed the chance of our test block and the 4 blocks around it, is 8% each for them being lava blocks (yes ik that's not how it works but). Running that math gives me an approx 34.1% chance of atleast one of them being lava. Which seems unreasonably high. Sooo idk someone smart come in and help out?
That's why you place a torch under you, mine up until you're out of reach, block up, repeat. If you run into lava, just block it off and out water under you
me and my friends playing minecraft Me: Never dig down! My Friends: it's not that dangerous Also my friends: hey we just found 64 diamonds this actually happened
You know, this video covered a lot more than just what would happen if you dug straight down. It also covered how long you can survive in lava with various things, it covered ways to get out of lava, and it covered ways to dig down. He really went far on this one.
I have noticed that: Mumbo can do AMAZINGLY complicated redstone machines and.... He can do AMAZINGLY complicated maths. Edit: Okay. Fine. Maybe it's just complicated for some of us, but still.
Totally! I am gonna make a meme about this! Me:*finds minshaft stuck to end portal by digging straight down in minecraft* Everyone:psychopath Me:there is no sign of intelligent life anywere
It's kind of emarrassing how many times I've watched this video just to get to the ending to hear "you still shouldn't do it you psychopath" Edit: 3 weeks passed and here I am again
True. And it's also much less dangerous than people think. Many people think "Nuclear power plants just kill people, too risky to build," but actually they kill far less than other sources of energy.
Phantom Boi actually no! It’s quite pretty. Just takes a bit to get used to. I guess it’s supposed to be some sort of fantasy land vibe texture. The tree leaves are purple, all lava materials are blue, and water is has a sort of rainbow gradiant
The first rule of minecraft really only applies to day 1 of a new game - beyond iron armor, falling into a cave isn't as threatening because skeletons won't 3-shot you anymore, creepers won't oneshot you anymore, spiders and zombies aren't as scary and the other mobs still are but are less likely to run into. But before you obtain full iron, falling into an unlit, mob-filled cave with no easy way out is a death sentence. That 38% is extremely high. Keep in mind, that's me saying "here's 10 skittles. Four are laced with cyanide. Eat one" and you're like "pfffsh only 4? Lmao lemme grab a handful then"
Me, a true intellectual: *spells intellectual correctly* and also carries a stack of ender pearls on my bar. Slot 1, every time. Creepers after me? Pearl away! Fallen into lava? Pearl. Falling down a ravine? Pearl straight down, unless lava, then open elytra. If lava, hope elytra don't take me into a wall at high speeds. Fallen off the edge of an end island? Pear- no, fireworks. Those are slot 2.
