siftbotsays...Moving this video to RFlagg's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
RFlaggsays...Mini-review: Works well enough. Wouldn't have helped me escape that cave system. I prefer Minecraft X-Ray.
Auger8says...I always preferred the old maze trick of only marking the walls on the right side or in Minecraft's case only put your torches on the the right hand side of the tunnels then you can keep them to your left to find your way back out.

That's the way I do it after I saw someone doing it in a video. Before then I used dirt or cobble to leave markers. I'd make it three high with one on the side pointing out. Even then I still got lost because I didn't stop and put down a marker often enough. Putting torches on the right is so much faster because I'm putting up torches anyway. I haven't gotten lost since doing that. I have gotten so deep in large caves/mines that it was just quicker to dig an exit than to back track the way I came in.
Auger8says...That's usually the problem I run into with that method I get down to the diamond layer and I end up in large crisscrossed ravines or open chasms and when you can't see the walls on all four sides of you the method starts to break down. But it still works faster and easier than anything else I know of without using viewers like the one in the video.
