Movement and digging/mining speed
By Emma Valentine •
I have noticed that when falling/climbing on ladders/submerged in water/swimming while mining/digging/chopping wood the speed at which blocks are destroyed is greatly reduced.
What kinds of movement specifically cause this slowdown, and to what degree?
Edit: Because in retrospect it wasn't entirely clear: What kinds of movement do not cause a slowdown?

The circumstances under which your mining rate will slow are:
- Falling
- On a ladder
- In water or lava, unless standing in water/lava 1 block deep
Under these circumstances it takes 5 times as long to mine each block than it would normally.
