Abandoned mineshaft


Info

Trivia

  • At bedrock layer, abandoned mineshafts will cut through the top bedrock layer(s).verify
  • Mineshafts can generate on top of other mineshafts. If you see two different ones intersecting each other anomalously, they are two different shafts, even if they somehow meet up perfectly elsewhere.
  • Mineshafts are less common near the origin of the world (0,0).verify
  • Mushrooms can be found at the bottom of mineshafts.

Generation

Abandoned mineshafts generate naturally in the Overworld; they are usually found underground but some can be found in the ocean. They are generated before chunk featuresSpecial attraction such as ores. As with other features, multiple abandoned mineshafts can generate near each other and intersect, producing larger complexes. They can also intersect with other cave systems. Corridors will generate a floor of wooden planks if they cross over empty space.

They can also generate on the surface in mesa biomes. These are composed of dark oak planks and fences, rather than oak. Cave spider spawners and various wooden pieces will not generate if above ground (i.e. the sky light where they generate is 8 or more), and generated railways will be less complete above ground.

Loot

See also: Chest loot This table summarizes the average quantity of each item that can be found in a naturally-generated chest, depending on its location. show all columns View at: Chest loot/All edit] Values represent the number of items

Each mineshaft chest contains 3 groups of 1, 2–4, and 3 item stacks, with the following distribution:

  1. All enchantments are equally probable, and any level of the enchantment is equally probable.
  2. `Nothing` does not refer to the chance of an empty chest. Instead, it refers to the chance that the random loot generator will not add any loot on a single roll.
