Easy 100% Consistent Portal Break
This is a pretty easy and fast to setup portal break, the 8 jump portal break is faster but if you're having trouble with hitting the timing consistently this could be a good alternative. Especially fast on ocean blinds because you usually are already building up with gravel to measure. The way this works is pretty similar to the traditional portal break it's just you're using the mining and falling of gravel to time the 4 second window rather than the jumps. Make sure that you're not sprinting, you're holding right click after you start mining the final block, and that you don't have soul speed as that will mess up the timing on the soul sand.
