Should You Dig Straight Down In Minecraft 1.20?

I've took note of feedback from the previous video, and I've cut down on the jokes for better pacing. They're still there in the video, but I didn't squeeze in a joke at the end of every paragraph, do let me know if this made the video much more enjoyable for you! :)

Thank you for digging into such a groundbreaking issue.

I think a 1/3 chance of getting something bad (a non-fatal fall damage usually also throw you in a ton of mobs) is already bad enough for me to not digging straight down

I did heard a rumor that the 'don't dig straight down' rule was originally due to early terrain generation lacking bedrock, which meant digging straight down could lead to falling into the void. I also discovered that during development, the bottom of the world alternated between bedrock and a lava sea before finally stabilizing into bedrock by alpha. It's interesting to learn about the evolution of Minecraft's terrain generation, and it makes me appreciate the game's current state even more. Also, I have to say, the video was hilarious! The jokes had me laughing out loud. I really enjoyed watching it, and I hope your channel continues to grow at a fast pace!"

If you want to dig straight down, place yourself exactly between two blocks and then dig straight down so in case there's a cave, you won't fall immediately as the edge of the other block will safe you from that. When you reached your desired level, place a magma block under the one and a soul sand block under the other block to create a water elevator. Easy

Mining in Minecraft is something very debatable, many prefer tunnels, others dig down and others don't even explore the caves, so I'd say that what's best for you is already good :)

It's better you dig a 2 block gap than a 1 block gap, Saving up durability is good 👍

I've miraculously stumbled upon this channel while browsing Minecraft content and I absolutely love it, especially your jokes. The fact that you're a relatively small channel also makes this a little more personal and gosh darn funny. And I like how analytical you are with the content! Bottom line, gen Z sense of humour + good content = subscription, keep it up

you should do this but also for the nether, it’d be cool to see how often you hit lava vs bedrock

I still find staircase mining beneficial for a reason: A simple way out to the surface again, without having to put down your mined block to get out, and mining them back again to get down to a potentially discovered cave and waste that durability

i love the smooth transition at 10:51 to mending video. I really hope youll get more popular, because this content is of really high quality, though it could contain more advanced content (such as usage of debug screen, F3+a etc.

The two block method is the method that I use, the only time I've ever died using that method was when I wasn't paying attention. If you ask me a 34% chance of ending up in a dangerous situation is much to high for me, and something you didn't take into account with your "yellow zone" coordinates is that there could be mobs in there to finish you off, so the number of inescapable fatalities could be higher, so even though there's a high likelihood that you will be fine, just don't.

I agree with everything in this video! Recently I actually have been minning more and more straight down as the time goes on. Im not afraid of death due to 1st getting good boots and the water bucket incase. And when i need to go up to the surface I dont have to take 1h going up but instead i can place a ladder in my hole i mined or just use water to get up

Honestly one idea that I think could make a really good video is the history of wireless stasis chambers in Minecraft. Wireless stasis chambers used to be a thing that could literally save you from death in ANY scenario, basically making you immortal and being the most OP thing in the game. You used to be able to set one up using item shadowing (which was patched in a recent update) or by using a fishing rod glitch (which was also patched). I believe there are still ways you can make one, but I don’t know how to exactly.

3:53 dude you're a beautiful wordsmith

8:25 caves and cliffs update is also the reason why people now think diamonds are just next step of iron

Never have I ever seen someone made me entertained and laughed about a simple topic for 22mins str8 😭. This my 6th video I've watched today.

When it comes to avoiding lava damage, I always carry a fire resistance potion in the hotbar myself. Only to be used in emergencies. I always have one if I'm digging below y=20, or am in the Nether.

I now need some programming socks so i can be smarter
