Minecraft's caves are full of both mystery and resources. Each world has many caves, filled to the brim with many caverns and cavities chock-full of precious minerals and archaic structures for the player to discover. With the darkness of the caves, they are often home to plethoras of hostile mobs, making them a dangerous place to be.
