Removing Mycelium & Optifine.
If you are attempting to remove mycelium or grass by flooding it, and you are using optifine, make sure that the 'Clear Water' feature is turned OFF. It's not simply a visual feature, it actually allows more light to go through water which means grass and mycelium will not die underwater.Figured I'd post this here in case anyone else was banging their heads against the wall, wondering "WHY WON'T THIS PURPLE S**T DIE ALREADY?!!?" c:

Subtitles can be used as a sort of metal detector for underground mineshafts.
I am not sure how well known this is, but if you activate subtitles in the audio options of the game, you will be able to find underground mineshafts. When you are walking around on the surface over an underground mineshaft, the subtitles will display the caption, "Minecart rolls". If you dig down and have a look around, voila! Mineshaft.
