Safer Way to Mine Down

This overlooked Minecraft tip saves HOURS We all know of the rule to never mine

straight down, but the real reason is not what you think While It’s not just

lava and while It could be fall damage, or maybe mobs mobs, or even unexpected

before falling into it, You hear mobs before getting swarmed And you never fall

Most players still don’t do this
