The Lava on Minecraft is sentient. It'll wait until the glorious moment you build your diamond pickaxe. Then it'll whistle along a few creepers and proceed to flood out of every hole in the wall and even erode the very floor you stand on, until you're forced to watch your pickaxe burn infront of your eyes.

Or maybe I'm just bitter. Yeah that.

I did once to see how far I'd go, and then I roasted for my ignorance. Recently, I had found a massive cavern loaded with Coal, Iron, gold, Redstone and Diamond deposits with 3 lava beds and some underground water systems going on all naturally. I decided to move the water to the lava, turned it into obsidian and with my trusty Diamond pick, chipped away gleefully at the new found deposits of obsidian, ripe for mining for my portal to the Nether. Well, I made it through, and I fell into the lava below, and with me my items. This was my reaction.

Moral of the story- Think vertically, dig safe or you'll burn for it.

Also make sure to leave some arrow towards your house/mine, or you'll never see it again (especially if you hid it into the mountain side like I did).

Because China is made of Lava.

I learned this the hard way back when Minecraft had world types.
lokik21 on January 6th, 2011 11:08 am

At least their wasn't any creepers at the bottom. Or was their? DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

This also applies in reverse. Random gavel veins, always.
MasterLuigi452 on January 6th, 2011 12:55 pm

Some people never learn. Period.
CakeBard on January 6th, 2011 1:05 pm

EVERY FUCKING TIME! … I want to build an awesome underground lair…
TheAceOfSkulls on January 6th, 2011 1:14 pm

Bullshit. I'll have you know that digging straight down was what lead me to being able to build my secret underground base with magma out the window that I could use to hide from any… problems.

…wait, is this about Minecraft again?
Lekonua on January 6th, 2011 1:26 pm

Don't I know it. I used a mapping program to find a gold deposit, and a GPS program to find the coordinates in game. Unfortunately, the GPS used reversed coordinates. Not only was I completely in the wrong place, but I dug straight down through probably the ONLY gap in the bedrock for miles. Right into the void.
doepker on January 6th, 2011 2:03 pm

Wait, there's lava at the bottom of Dig Dug
*realizes what the submission is, shuts up*
DM1293 on January 6th, 2011 3:55 pm

Oh come on. *Ahem*

It looks like this miner…

*Shades*

PICKed the wrong spot to dig.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAlastshadespostfortheweekIswearAAAAAAAH
Red on January 6th, 2011 4:21 pm

I dig straight down too much. I try to stop, but instead dug a 3x3 hole straight down, allowing me to jump-n-place blocks (mainly dirt) to go back up. Found an open space, explored. Hit the "w" key by mistake, walked into a lake of lava and lost a lot of loot.
*pause… sobs heavily*
Kregain on January 6th, 2011 4:24 pm

Can you dig it…… Sucka!! <img src="http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f150/KregainSeph/BookerT.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">

I am Ganon. I'm going straight into the pit, because it burns.

Also, somebody should totally get me this game.

Please?
JesterJoe on January 6th, 2011 4:59 pm

Hence why I play the free one once in a while.
Magma doesn't kill you, so I smash boxes to my heart's content
Sir_Nox on January 6th, 2011 5:26 pm

So, Halolz, which would YOU choose? Death by lava, or death by Creepers? You can choose either, but you can only die once.
Zyquux on January 6th, 2011 5:37 pm

Kublai Khan.
3K9 on January 6th, 2011 7:11 pm

Strangely, I always land out into motherloads of diamonds, gold, and coal whenever I dig down
Captain Rehab on January 6th, 2011 9:15 pm

Because all i want is to mount a giant green penis shaped… wait…
Nyoron on January 6th, 2011 11:56 pm

At least he was…..Damnit i got nothing. DAMNIT!
Tadferd on January 7th, 2011 12:45 am

The Minecraft players knew this was a Minecraft submission and not Dig Dug. No one forgets Minecraft Rule #1. Once you learn it, it become forever scarred into your brain. The mental trauma won't let you forget. You will remember FOREVER!
