I just fell into a deep lake underground and miserably died because I was not able to jump out. Are there any techniques to survive in this case, or is this one of the dangerous aspects of being a miner?
Answer
If you’re lucky enough to end up in a lake with rock or dirt sides (not sand) you can dig 3 sideways into the bank and 2-3 up to create an air pocket to jump up into:

# = Dirt / rock / other block
~ = Water
+ = Precious life giving air
From there you can dig your way out. I’ve done this so often I can now do it in pitch black darkness. Maybe I should learn to look before I leap…
