Abandoned Mines

Forgotten mineshafts are generally subterranean structures that happen to be

randomly generated in the overworld. These are huge and their construction

makes it super easy to go missing inside them. This consists of very long passages,

different elevation levels and a lot of similar looking routes.

A deserted mine consists out of large bare rooms that indicate the beginning of a

mine. Each of those areas may have one or more passages leading far away from

them. They're 3×3 in proportion, but have beams which are dispersed through the

mineshafts. These mine supports are made from about three blocks atop 2

support beams with 2 fencing posts on top of one another. The mineshafts are

also full of partial mine cart tracks, making abandoned mineshafts to be a

wonderful resource for rails, since you can purely break the blocks beneath these

to quickly obtain the tracks.

Abandoned mineshafts consist of different special items of interest. The two most

precious items are chests, which contain various items including seed products

and even diamonds. They will also have cave spiders. Spider spawners may be a

headache initially however, they offer a terrific way to generate a spider eye or

farm them for experience points.

Other interesting features is the way in which left behind mineshafts are created.

Rather than generating while the world is currently being created, left behind

mineshafts are added in later on. This implies that abandoned mineshafts may

clash along with other landmarks, such as ravines, and dungeons. This will make it

a lot easier to discover abandoned mineshafts and additionally, it makes it much

easier to locate ores within the wall space in the mineshafts.

How to find an abandoned mineshaft

Discovering a deserted mineshaft generally relies on luck, however because of the

way they conflict with many other landmarks and biomes in their creation, finding

these can be much easier. Ravines and oceans frequently conflict with abandoned

mineshafts, meaning you’ll have the ability to view the brightness from the

torches within the mineshafts.
