Dual Mining (aka: Bro Mining or Power Mining) is a quick, effective way of mining straight down that requires at least 2 people. One player mines on the left side of the pair's feet, while the other mines on the right. This can speed up the rate at which the players descend, but this speed can create issues. Falling into a pit or lava pool may result in an instant death without fast reflexes and getting out can be tricky without Wood Platforms, a Grappling Hook or a Lucky Horseshoe. Players may also use water at the end of a tunnel to negate fall damage.
