Your Strategy For Cave Exploration

(1/2) > >>

Captain_indecisive:
Personally, I always put my torches on the left wall. That way, I know when I see torches to the left I'm heading further in, and torches on the right mean that I'm leaving the cave system. It gets a little weird when I encounter a tunnel that doubles back, but I always make it out eventually without teleporting.

So, what does everyone else do to keep from getting lost in a cave?

Spamarian:
I just go in. If I see Iron, I stay. If I dont, I move further.
Sometimes, I remove some blocks while I am passing, to uncover possible Iron that is 1-2 blocks behind.
I dont really explore caves. I havent done it 3 months now, because I have dug all the underground area..:P
If I move to another are in the map, I'll see.

DavidJerk:
I rarely explore caves anymore and don't get lost anymore in them anyway. After playing for so long, it eventually becomes second nature. I tend to branch mine at bedrock now though. More efficient.

Boshiwarrior:
Just go to a mine when I want to mine. Search for a hole and get in. If it is a big cave I stay. If it is little I only exlore it or leave it.

lLLEGAL:
Damn! Didn't think of that method capt!
Excellent, I'll try it soon, because I always get lost in caves xD
