Mineshafts are common underground structures primarily found underground in the Overworld. They consist of interlinked 3×3 tunnels with incomplete rail lines running through them, with oak planks platforms bridging gaps or hanging in larger exposed caverns.

A unique variant of mineshafts made out of dark oak wood can generate on the surface in badlands biomes.

Generation

[edit | edit source]

Mineshafts generate underground in any Overworld biome except for the deep dark (although a mineshaft can overlap). They generate before chunk features such as ores. Multiple mineshafts can generate near each other, producing larger complexes. When mineshafts intersect with caves and canyons, corridors generate a bridge of planks over empty space, either suspended with iron chains above or supported by log pillars below. When a mineshaft intersects with an aquifer, a barrier of solid blocks generates to prevent fluids from flowing into the mineshaft, often resulting in corridors cut off from the rest of the mineshaft.[1]

Mineshafts often generate on the surface in badlands biomes. Badlands mineshafts are composed of dark oak planks and fences with railways more complete above ground. Since badlands biomes generate gold ore often and at higher altitudes, they are good places to easily find gold.

Mineshafts are the most common generated structures in the Overworld, having a 0.4% chance to attempt to begin generating in every chunk.

All mineshafts have:

  • Starting point: a 10×10 parlor, with an arched ceiling and one to four exits in each direction.
  • Corridors: some 3×3 tunnels and junctions are supported by planks and fences. Some places are decorated with torches and cobwebs. On long corridors, these supports are placed four blocks away from each other, while some have missing planks which may be filled up with cobwebs or blocks of stone jutting out from the top. The tunnels are connected by incomplete rail systems on the ground, upon which minecarts with chests generate uncommonly. Cobwebs do not generate if they would not be connected to solid blocks, while corridors generate with log pillars, iron chains, and fences for support if they are in mid-air.
  • Crossings: dual-floor, 5×5 intersections supported by wooden columns.
  • Staircases: diagonal tunnels, stairs blocks are not used.
  • Abandoned passageways: accessory corridors with numerous cobwebs concealing cave spider monster spawners.

Any chest found in a mineshaft always occurs as a minecart with chest that rests on top of some rails.

In Java Edition and Bedrock Edition, each mineshaft chest contains items drawn from 3 pools, with the following distribution:

  1. ↑ The size of stacks (or for unstackable items, number) of this item on any given roll.
  2. ↑ The weight of this item relative to other items in the pool.
  3. ↑ The odds of finding any of this item in a single chest.
  4. ↑ The number of items expected per chest, averaged over a large number of chests.
  5. ↑ The average number of chests the player should expect to search to find any of this item.
  6. ↑ All enchantments are equally probable, including treasure enchantments (except Soul Speed, Swift Sneak, and Wind Burst), and any level of the enchantment is equally probable.
  7. ↑ 'Nothing' does not refer to the chance of an empty chest. Instead, it refers to the chance that the random loot generator does not add any loot on a single roll.

In Java Edition and Bedrock Edition, each sulfur cave mineshaft chest contains items drawn from 3 pools, with the following distribution:

Item Stack Size [A] Weight [B] Chance [C] Avg.
per chest [D]		 Avg. # chests

  1. ↑ The size of stacks (or for unstackable items, number) of this item on any given roll.
  2. ↑ The weight of this item relative to other items in the pool.
  3. ↑ The odds of finding any of this item in a single chest.
  4. ↑ The number of items expected per chest, averaged over a large number of chests.
  5. ↑ The average number of chests the player should expect to search to find any of this item.
  6. ↑ All enchantments are equally probable, including treasure enchantments (except Soul Speed, Swift Sneak, and Wind Burst), and any level of the enchantment is equally probable.
  7. ↑ 'Nothing' does not refer to the chance of an empty chest. Instead, it refers to the chance that the random loot generator does not add any loot on a single roll.
