Frequently asked questions

How do I get started in Alex's Caves?
Craft a Biome Treat and feed it to a mob or use it to locate a cave biome, then dig down toward the biome it points you to. Bring basic caving gear plus a light source, since these biomes are dark and often hazardous.
How do I find Alex's Caves biomes?
Use a Biome Treat, which points you toward the nearest Alex's Caves biome when used. You can also just explore deep underground, since these biomes generate as large cave systems below the surface.
What is Amber used for and how do I get it?
Amber is found in the Primordial Caves biome and drops from amber-bearing blocks and Amber Monoliths. It's used for crafting and for Amber Curiosity items, so mine any amber you spot.
How do I use the Abyssal Altar?
Place the Abyssal Altar and offer it the correct items to trigger a summoning or transformation. Check the wiki's processes section for the exact offering, since it varies by what you're trying to obtain.
