Off-Camera Mining

When a person, usually a Youtuber, plays Minecraft and switches into creative mode and gets more loot. It is typically unrealistic but some intelligent people make like 5 Iron Ingots or 2 Diamonds every time they go Off-Camera Mining.
Other times, people go Off-Camera Mining in the overworld but somehow get an entire stack of ancient debris without even lighting a nether portal.

Temple-Rubber: "Did you see that new Benjamin Earthmover MC video?"
Intellectual: "No! It's full of Off-Camera Mining and he doesn't even try to make it make sense."
