Not really. The game world is essentially a tablecloth that somebody put some rolled up newspaper under at varioius spots. If you go in a cave, you can have a mob above ground over your head smack you through solid earth. Here I am digging away without a mob in sight and I am taking area damage from a Vorax which is 50-60m above my head.amitst wrote:There is a z axis, otherwise you wouldnt be able to go up hills.

Previously you would take damage when crossing the bridges in Fyros lands from mobs 100m or more below ya. The devs managed to fix the bridge problem but haven't yet come up with a fix for the "cave" problem. The mob might not aggro you (ghandi moded from above ground mobs I guess when underground) but as far as game mechanics are concerned, you are within the 5-10m area attack range even though there is a > 50m difference in what would / should be the z axis.
