As you probably know, the Earth is made up of layers. At the center of the Earth is the molten metal core, surrounded by the rocky mantle and then the outer crust. This outer crust is composed mostly of rock, with a thin layer of earth, sand, and loose material on top. The point where the rock is still a solid mass is called bedrock. In many situations, the bedrock is many feet deep, but where there is erosion, the bedrock may be exposed to air, so you can study it.

How do you get under Bedrock in Minecraft?
You’ll likely come across various blocks in Minecraft, and luckily, most of them are easy to break as long as you have the right tool. However, bedrock blocks are exceptional and meant to be indestructible. Therefore, the only way to overcome them is to exploit vulnerabilities in the game.
One of the easiest ways to break bedrock is to use ender beads. You can search a two block space and stay under the top layer of the nether. Next, throw the pearl straight into the distance, then jump and you’ll soon be in bedrock.
Is bedrock really indestructible in real life?
In the real world, what geologists call bedrock is more like the stone layer in Minecraft: it’s the name for the solid rock that lies beneath the surface soil. Real-world bedrock is hard but utterly brittle, and most large buildings are anchored to the bedrock with structures called “foundations.”

Weathered rock (light brown), a thick layer of fractured rock underlying the thin layer of soil (dark brown) and just above the bedrock impermeable (gray), it can hold more water than the soil and plays an important role in determining runoff, landslides and the evolution of mountainous or hilly terrain. Berkeley geologists argue that the rate at which water flows off the bedrock (blue arrows) determines the thickness of the weathered rock.
University of California, Berkeley, geologist William Dietrich pioneered the application of aerial LIDAR (light sensing and sensing) at the NRS’ Angelo Coast Range Reserve near Laytonville to map mountainous terrain, ripping clear the vegetation to see the underlying ground surface. But that didn’t take him deep enough. He still couldn’t see what was beneath the surface: the depth of the soil, the eroded rock beneath, and the deep bedrock.
