I was playing hardcore for the first time and this is how I died. Why did the dripstone fall exponentially and hit the ground after me? I literally fell through the dripstone!
You were playing hardcore and digging a 1×1 hole straight down?

Tragic but you broke rule #1. Never dug 1×1 straight down.

Not a glitch, dripstones just deal a lot of damage. Shouldn’t have digged straight down lol

just dig a 1×2, so you dig 4 blocks down on one side, then 4 blocks below and keep repeating that, its safer. and i think what happened here is because the dripstone became an entity while falling you were able to go thru it and player falls faster than dripstone so thats what happened

The stalactite’s fall was delayed, and i was about to say that you slipped
– In Minecraft, players are coded to be heavier than most entities. For example, you can notice that boats cannot be dragged by other entities if a player is riding it. In this case, this meant you fell faster than the dripstone.
– Dripstone is a pretty unique block. It stacks damage as it falls. With enough altitude it’s a guaranteed death to almost anyone it falls into.
I recommend you look into EpacEpic’s channel. He sometimes uses dripstone in PvP and it is kinda deadly when he lands it.

Yeah, as others have said honestly deserved for digging straight down.
To your question: I know that certain things fall slower than the player. It’s why you can’t break your fall with an Eye of Ender unless you throw it very close to the ground. As per the Wiki it falls slower than you.
So that’s what seems to have happened here. You just fell faster than the dripstone and it drilled straight into your 1×1 digging brain lmao.

Glitch? probably not. Poor design? perhaps. Bad choice? Definitely.

digging down a 1×1 is either a troll or bloddy studip, allways go 2×2, so you see more, 3x 3 gets you allways out

There is one single way it’s okay to dig straight down, which is digging a 1×2 hole and always standing on the block you’re not mining. Helps to avoid scenarios like this.

Remind me, what’s the FIRST rule of Minecraft?

Because you started falling earlier and ended up falling faster. No, not a glitch.

The player falls little bit faster than dripstone if I’m not mistaken, which makes this more of a rarer death than glitched one

You were digging straight down on a hardcore world, that’s rule #1
But yes, they fall slower than the player, not a glitch

No, players fall faster than drip stone.
I recently saw a video where this exact same thing happened to a player.

I tend to hate on MC when I DON’T have myself to blame. Like when your very first entry to the Nether is to be instantly blown out of the portal by a ghast to fall 300 blocks straight off a cliff into lava with all your best gear before you can even see where you are. Or when it steals your favorite horse because of course there’s a 3-meter deep pit full of lava in the middle of an open field just behind a hill so you can’t see it. Again.
Or, and this is my all-time favorite, when a Creeper is outside your front door in the morning despite walling in your house and lightin the entire area painstakingly AND sleeping through the night.

It is a little odd that you would be able to fall through it, then die by it. It should break when you touch it in mid-air. You should only die if you are standing on a block at the time it first touches you.

Why did you dig straight down? You you dumb or a kid or a dumb kid?
I guess it doesn’t matter….BUT….did you learn a lesson about digging straight down? Probably not because I still do it because I am a slow learner and don’t learn from past mistakes but still, did you learn something at least? If so then you will be doing a little bit better than I usually do.

This happened:
– The dripstone becomes an entity when it falls.
– Since it’s an entity, you can move through it.
– In Minecraft, players are coded to be heavier than most entities. For example, you can notice that boats cannot be dragged by other entities if a player is riding it. In this case, this meant you fell faster than the dripstone.
– Dripstone is a pretty unique block. It stacks damage as it falls. With enough altitude it’s a guaranteed death to almost anyone it falls into.

How do you view yourself digging from that angle?
