How to Find Lush Caves and Harvest Underground Plants

Locating Lush Cave Biomes

Lush Caves generate as sprawling underground biomes that cut through both standard stone and deep Deepslate layers. While exploring large caverns, pause before placing torches and scan the darkness ahead for natural light. Hanging Glow Berries and bright lava pools illuminate Lush Caves on their own, making them easy to spot from across a massive cave. Flowing underground waterfalls are another common landmark inside these overgrown chambers.

Gathering Underground Plants

Once you enter a Lush Cave, you can harvest several distinct plants to decorate your base:

• Glow Berries: Check the cave ceiling for hanging vines carrying glowing berries that naturally light up the surrounding rock.
• Big Dripleaf: Search the cavern floor, particularly near waterfalls and pools of water, for tall green Big Dripleaf plants.
• Spore Blossoms: Look directly overhead for large Spore Blossoms clinging to the underside of ceiling blocks.

Bring dirt or cobblestone to pillar safely up to high cave ceilings when reaching for Spore Blossoms and Glow Berries, and watch your footing whenever plants grow right beside open lava pools.
