Tutorials/Staircase mine



A Staircase Mine is a user-created mine system which uses a series of "steps" to navigate up and down the mine rather than ladders or other vertical movement devices. This is the most common mine due to the fact that it is easy to create.

Players will destroy the next block lower than the one they are standing on, allowing them to move lower each time. Please note that these mines are extremely dark when not lit by daylight or torches.

Another method is to create a spiral staircase pattern, which directs the mine generally downward; as opposed to at an angle like the traditional staircase mine.
