Finding Underground Ruin Structures

Echoes of the Underground adds custom underground ruins filled with mod loot, hidden deep beneath the surface within the subterranean strata.

Mining for Ruins

Ruins generate naturally inside underground rock layers and can be discovered during normal mining expeditions.

1. Descend Underground: Head below the surface down into the stone and deepslate layers.

2. Explore Caves and Tunnels: Follow natural cave systems or branch mine at deepslate depths. Keep an eye out for unfamiliar walls, crafted bricks, or structured rooms that contrast with natural stone generation.

3. Secure the Area: Once inside a ruin, light up dark corridors with torches to prevent hostile mob spawns, and search the area for loot, soul items, and templates.

Locating Ruins via Commands

If you have operator permissions or cheats enabled in your world, you can locate ruin structures directly without blind mining:

1. Open the chat window.

2. Enter the structure location command: /locate structure testmod:<structure> (replacing <structure> with the target ruin type).

3. Note the coordinates provided in the chat response, then navigate or teleport to that subterranean location to access the ruin.
