Frequently asked questions

How deep can I dig in this mod?
The world bottom is lowered to negative 64 coordinates, giving you 64 blocks of additional depth below the normal zero level to explore and mine.
What's the difference between regular ore and Deepslate ore?
Deepslate ore is the deep underground variant of normal ores that spawns below zero coordinates in Deepslate blocks; it requires a higher tool tier to mine efficiently than its surface counterpart.
Where do I find Amethyst Geodes?
Amethyst Geodes are hidden inside dark stone caverns deep underground; you'll need to explore the lower cave biomes and mine through Deepslate to discover the round purple crystal-filled rooms.
Can I use regular stone tools in the deep caves?
Stone tools are too weak for Deepslate blocks—you'll need at least iron-tier tools to mine Deepslate ore and blocks efficiently in the deep underground.
What are Lush Caves and Dripstone Caves?
Lush Caves are underground biomes filled with vegetation like Glow Berries and Spore Blossoms, while Dripstone Caves feature dangerous stalactites, stalagmites, and lava pools; both generate in the expanded deep world.
How do I get Glow Berries?
Glow Berries grow on cave vines in Lush Caves deep underground; you can harvest them and plant them on blocks to create your own glowing berry farms.
What can I build with Deepslate?
You can craft Deepslate stairs, slabs, and other decorative variants from mined Deepslate blocks to build and decorate underground bases with a dark stone aesthetic.
Is Copper ore useful in this mod?
Copper ore spawns in the deep underground and can be mined and smelted like other ores; it follows standard Minecraft copper mechanics for crafting and building.
Do I need special armor to explore deep caves safely?
While not required, iron armor or better is recommended for deep cave exploration due to hostile mobs, lava pools, and falling hazards like dripstone spikes in the lower biomes.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
The mod adds significant new terrain generation; performance depends on your system specs and render distance, but most players report playable performance with standard settings.
