Stand on a pile of gravel, remove a block underneath, you fall two blocks high

Player can use this bug to go down a "ladder" made of gravel or sand blocks.

2. Sneak on the ledge
3. Remove a block underneath you. Not the one you are standing on.
4. The block you are standing on will, naturally, fall 1 block high, but you fall 2 or 3 blocks.
5. Repeat the process until you get safely the ground.
