Caves are natural gaps in [[stone]]. Some will open to the surface, but others will have [[dirt]] or [[sand]] covering them. | Caves are natural gaps in [[stone]]. Some will open to the surface, but others will have [[dirt]] or [[sand]] covering them. | ||
A cave can be as narrow as a series of unconnected single block gaps to large chambers wider than the reach of a [[Basic Torch|torch's]] light.

A good general approach to exploring caverns without getting lost is to follow the right-most path. This helps you stay clear on what you've explored and not.

This helps you stay clear on what you've explored and not. It only fails when there's a circular connection and in that case your placed [[Oil Lantern|lanterns]] or [[Basic Torch|torches]] indicate you've looped back so it's no trouble. | ||
Another way to keep track of which tunnels you've explored or stripped of resources place a block of [[limestone]] at the entrance(s). It looks different than un-mined limestone so you'll know you placed it as a signal. You could also wall it off with stone because it is abundant. | Another way to keep track of which tunnels you've explored or stripped of resources place a block of [[limestone]] at the entrance(s).
