Minecraftian world; I punch a hole in it and jump, where do I fall?

say I have this infinite plane/world, then punch a circular hole through it to the other side. Say I manage to make a circular hole around 1 kilometer fairly uniform all the way through. For argument say the mass/material that used to occupy this space is either destroyed or distributed uniformly around the perimeter of the hole.

Firstly; would this hole immediately collapse or would it be a somewhat stable structure?

Secondly; (assuming it was/made stable) if I had a death wish and took a running jump off the edge, where would I fall? The exact center of the hole? Would I drift across to the other edge? One of the "sides" of the hole?

Corollary: If the hole itself was stable, would travel through it unprotected be fatal? Eg: are the pressures on a minecraftian world the same as on a spherical one? ****
