In this chapter I will be teaching you about mining and a lot about everything undergroung such as caves spawners and abandoned min shafts. So let us get to it.

Golden Rule of Minecraft- NEVER DIG STRAIGHT DOWN! That being because you have a chance of falling in lava and losing all of your stuff. If you do this do a two block way down meaning mine one block 2-3 times then the block next to it then the other block again 2-3 times and repeat.

FUN FACT- Minecraft was originally called Cave game!

Large caves-These are huge caves and has usually all ores. Usually connect to other cave systems.

Ravines-This is a big crevice in the ground with a bunch of Ores and usually link to other caves. They usually are found above ground but can be found completely underground. Also can be a lava Ravine with lava all at the bottom of the Ravine.

Other stuff Underground

Abandoned Mineshafts- These are things with wood everywhere. It has a chance to have a chest containing all ores plus other stuff like name tags and saddles. The only place you can find cave spiders as they only spawn in spawners in Abandoned Mineshafts.

Mob Spawners- These are Places that can be found in caves that has a spawner that can spawn Zombies, Skeletons, Spider, and Cave Spider spawners. These usually has two or one chest. Can be found by Mossy Cobblestone.
