Fill a Cave or Deep Hole Quickly

Choosing the Right Orb

For large underground cavities, the Simple Orb is your fastest option—it uses dirt from the environment and requires no preparation. If you want the filled area to match surrounding stone, use the Smart Orb instead, but you'll need to carry stacks of the appropriate blocks in your inventory.

Filling the Hole

1. Stand at the edge of or above the hole you want to fill

2. Equip the orb and throw it into the deepest or most central point of the cavity

3. The orb will fill outward and upward, placing blocks up to its capacity limit

4. If the hole is very large, throw multiple orbs to cover the entire area

Canceling if Needed

If you throw an orb and change your mind, hit any of the newly placed blocks within 15 seconds to cancel the operation and recover the blocks. This gives you a safety window to inspect the results before the fill becomes permanent.
