How to Navigate Overhauled Mineshafts and Storage Rooms

Navigating Mainlines and Side Paths

The overhaul replaces standard underground mine layouts with a jigsaw-based tunnel network. When exploring underground, focus on keeping your bearings through the tiered corridor system:

1. Follow the Mainline Transit Tunnels: Main corridors act as wide central transport arteries lined with minecart tracks and wooden support structures. Use these as your primary navigation route.

2. Explore Sideline Paths: Branch off the mainlines to explore smaller side passages, which frequently lead into dedicated storage rooms containing wooden chests.

3. Locate Spawner Rooms: Look for mob spawner side rooms branching off the main transport routes. Light up or disable the monster spawner quickly, as corridors are tight and often clogged with thick cobwebs.

Clearing Collapsed Sections and Aquifers

As you follow the rail lines, you will encounter structural blockages:

• Collapsed Passages: Expect broken tunnel paths blocked by stone debris. Mine through the collapsed rubble to reconnect with the remaining mainline or hidden side rooms.
• Aquifer Protective Shells: When tunnels cut through water and stone aquifers, the generation places protective stone shells around the perimeter. Do not carelessly break through the outer stone shell walls, or water will flood into the rail corridors.
