fast ladder

if you wonder how to get out of your mine faster then you'll be happy to see this : super-fast ladder.

you'll have to get:

bucket with water,

ladders

to build it, you must first know where north is. easy way to know that is to look at clouds, because they always fly north. then place ladders while you're FACING NORTH. also when you place ladders place them every second block.

(it's very important to face north when placing ladders, or it might not work)

second step is to dig out 1x1x2 hole (basically just dig out 2 blocks ON LEFT side of ladder)

step 3: fill this hole with water as shown on third pic (below) also, water must be moving, it can't be water spring block next to ladder

last step is to repeat this as many times as you like. also remember to walk towards water when you climb up, not towards ladder or it might work slower (like normal ladder)
