Question: Are you are miner, and if so is Minecraft accurate?

It’s not very accurate unfortunately! There’s no monsters underground (fortunately, so no creepers!); and you don’t get little pockets of diamonds or emeralds. The rock is so tightly compressed that there are no cave systems either, only what has been dug. Which, no matter how many diamond pickaxes you had, you won’t be able to do by hand- they use massive machines to dig at the rock. Also, in minecraft you don’t have to worry about your tunnels collapsing in on themselves, which we do in real life!
