Caves are created as part of a [[Getting Started|new]] [[world]]. They are laid out in curves of varying degree and direction. They can be large or small and can connect (or nearly) with other caves forming a cave system. They sometimes open to the surface giving easy access, particularly in [[mountain]]s, but may also be sealed with layers of [[dirt]] or [[sand]]. [[Mining]] is required to reach most caves.

Some caves will open into [[ocean]]s or other bodies of [[water]]. If they aren't created already filled with water, the approach of a Blockhead may trigger a delayed flooding.

A cave can be as narrow as a string of single-block hollows separated by several blocks of stone or large enough to be difficult to illuminate with a single source of [[light]]. Otherwise open segments may be separated by stone barriers one or more blocks thick. They can be nearly straight or highly uneven.

Cave-like gaps can also be found in the stone base of a [[Floating Island|floating island]].


All caves have a "back wall" of stone, also known as bedrock.
