About[]
Biomes are variations of caves that can be uncovered below 18m underground, and contain all sorts of ores and collectables.
While digging, there's a chance to stumble across a cave and this is indicated by a circular loading symbol. In the middle is a number which shows the size of the cave based on the amount of blocks it fills. The biome of the cave is chosen before the cave generates, and the biomes vary based on the depth that the cave is found at. Once it has finished generating the block with the loading symbol will be removed and the cave will be free to explore. Most biomes contain collectable coins and chests to open.
Biomes are rolled from highest to lowest, and the biome is chosen if a random number between 1 and it's rarity equals 1. If it doesn't, it moves onto the next biome available at the cave's depth and repeats. If none of the biomes are chosen then a regular cave will spawn. The Navigator enchant reduces the rarity of every biome by 2 per level, down to a minimum of a 1 in 2 chance, as long as the cave is found while mining with the enchant.
Caves[]
Most caves contain various ores from the layers they spawn in, along with random chests and collectable coins. The most common cave is the regular one where no biome is applied, these caves are still useful for discovering rare ores and chest hunting. Coins can be collected to receive an instant amount of coins, the amount varying on the type of coin.
