FIGURE 11.9
A dungeon connected to a cave system. Some are more useful than others.
This one's chests contained enchanted books, a saddle, lots of gunpowder, and more.
The chests can hold a lot of useful loot, so disable the spawner and enjoy.
Abandoned Mineshafts
I first mentioned mineshafts in
Chapter 5
,
“
Combat School
,” (see page
88
). They are quite
liberally scattered underground and often intersect caves, making them easy to find. Each
is different, often sprawling across huge multilayered levels (see
Figure 11.10
). Explore
them for their chests, rails, and timber, but look out for cave spiders while you do so. One
small bonus: you'll find lots of cobwebs near cave spider spawners. (Deactivate a spawner
by placing a torch on or nearby to raise the light level above the spawning threshold.)
