'''Caving''' is | '''Caving''' is the exploration of [[cave]]s. As [[gem]]s, [[Time Crystal|time crystals]], [[ore]]s, and various other natural resources can only be found naturally in caves, it is one of the most important activities in [[The Blockheads]]. However, there are other ways to get these items, such as [[mining]] with a [[Gold Pickaxe|gold pickaxe]] or [[Meditate|meditating]]. | ||

Caves are natural gaps in [[stone]]. Some will open to the surface, but others will have [[dirt]] or [[sand]] covering them. | |||
A cave can be as narrow as a series of unconnected single block gaps to large chambers wider than the reach of a [[Basic Torch|torch]]'s light. Some caves are also filled with [[water]], which may require special preparation to navigate. | A cave can be as narrow as a series of unconnected single block gaps to large chambers wider than the reach of a [[Basic Torch|torch]]'s light.

Basic caving is nothing more than [[Travel|climbing, crawling, and walking]] through the available spaces. A [[pickaxe]] is useful for opening barriers between unconnected caves. However, as caves can intersect and branch, they sometimes end up like a maze. | Basic caving is nothing more than [[Travel|climbing, crawling, and walking]] through the available spaces.

Another way to keep track of which tunnels have been explored or stripped of resources is to place a block of [[limestone]] or another easily distinguishable block at the entrances. The cave could also be walled off with stone because it is abundant. [[Paint]] is also a very distinctive marker. | Another way to keep track of which tunnels have been explored or stripped of resources is to place a block of [[limestone]] or another easily distinguishable block at the entrances.
