| '''Caves''' are hollow areas within [[stone]]. They are fairly common occurrences, and on a large scale may appear to riddle the underground areas of a [[world]].
| |
| | |
| Caves are created as part of a [[Getting Started|new]] [[world]]. They are laid out in curves of varying degree and direction. They can be large or small and can connect (or nearly) with other caves forming a cave system. They sometimes open to the surface giving easy access, particularly in [[mountain]]s, but may also be sealed with layers of [[dirt]] or [[sand]]. [[Mining]] is required to reach most caves.
| |
| | |
| Some caves will open into [[ocean]]s or other bodies of [[water]]. If they aren't created already filled with water, the approach of a blockhead may trigger a delayed flooding.
| |
| | |
| A cave can be as narrow as a string of single-block hollows separated by several blocks of stone or large enough to be difficult to illuminate with a single source of [[light]]. Otherwise open segments may be separated by stone barriers one or more blocks thick. They can be nearly straight or highly uneven.
| |
| | |
| Cave-like gaps can also be found in the stone base of a [[Floating Island|floating island]].
| |
| | |
| All caves have a "back wall" of stone, also known as bedrock.

| [[Gem]]s, [[ore]]s, and [[Time Crystal|time crystals]] can be found within during [[caving]] expeditions. Occasionally a [[Golden Chest|golden chest]] can be found as well.

| Water may fill parts of some caves. Caution is recommended to avoid unintentional flooding.
