A good general approach to exploring caverns is to follow the right most path. 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 [[Lantern|lanterns]] or [[Torch|torches]] indicate you've looped back so it's no trouble. | ==Description== | ||
Caves are natural gaps in [[Stone|stone]]. Some will open to the surface, but others will have [[Dirt|dirt]] or [[Sand|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 [[Torch|torch's]] light. Some caves are also filled with [[Water|water]] | |||
==How To== | |||
Basic caving is nothing more than climbing, crawling, and walking through the available spaces. A [[Pickaxe|pickaxe]] is useful for opening barriers between unconnected caves. But as caves can intersect and branch, they can end up like a maze. | |||
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. It only fails when there's a circular connection and in that case your placed [[Lantern|lanterns]] or [[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|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|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|limestone]] at the entrance(s).
