Stuck mining

[Azuwi]

So I normally dig a hole in ground and continue dig when I mine and build a some sort mining area down in hole, and when I wanna get back up I just place blocks all my way up to ground level.

This time I am stuck , im only able to jump like 1 cm off the ground no matter where I stand, making myself unable to build blocks and jump on top them.

Is this a bug or how can i make myself jump higher then 1 cm? I even tried throwing all the ores outside my inventory and I still only jump 1 cm high , even If I have the same inventory before i started to mine. Is there a jumping mechanic in game? Like the more you carry or weigh the less high you jump?

also im wondering if there is a chance a mine tunnel can collapse if you build it under ground?

Im stuck and i have no idea how to leave this hell hole. blood moon incoming soon also...

Are you crouching/sneaking?

Lol yes, they really need to improve the UI.

Like maybe show your food/water levels and a icon if your crouching or not.

also im still curious about the tunnel collapse thingy.

You only get the yellow sneak bar if you’re crouching, so that’s your indicator - easy to miss when you’re in a bind though. You also move much slower, so if you panic and try to run away while sneaking, you’ll have a bad time of it :)

As for tunnels collapsing, absolutely it’s a thing. Each type of block has a weight and a structural integrity, which determines how much weight can hang off it while not directly supported. This includes dirt, sand, ore and rock which you mine through. Sand is the most likely to collapse easily, as it has almost no structural integrity, so if you dig out a mine in the desert more than 3-4 blocks horizontally under the sand, you’ll start to see collapses very quickly. You can use wood frames, or any blocks really, as supports, or just cut an open mine. There is a lot of info out there on how structural integrity works, to help you understand what will work, and what won’t.

It can. It depends on the material it's made of, and how much you mine out- Everything in the game has structural integrity. Too much weight without enough support = collapse.

In this case its just soil, dirt, clay, sand, stone, and other ores (normally iron or lead)
