Minecraft mineshafts and monsters modpack
Generation[]
Mineshafts generate in any Overworld biome, usually underground or rarely in oceans. They are generated before chunk features such as ores. Multiple mineshafts can generate near each other, producing larger complexes. As mineshafts intersect with caves and canyons, corridors generate a bridge of planks suspended under chains over empty space.
Mineshafts often generate on the surface in badlands biomes. Badlands mineshafts are composed of dark oak planks and fences with railways more complete above ground. Since badlands biomes generate gold ore often and at higher altitudes, they are good places to easily find gold.

Structure[]
Main article: Mineshaft/Structure
A minecart with chest in a mineshaft.
The central dirt room of the mineshaft.
A mineshaft generating across a large cave.[upcoming: JE 1.18]
All mineshafts have:
- Starting point: a parlor with a 10×10 dirt floor, an arched ceiling and one to four exits in each direction.[until JE 1.18]
- Corridors: some 3×3 tunnels and junctions are supported by planks and fences. Some places are decorated with torches and cobwebs. On long corridors, these supports are placed four blocks away from each other while some have missing planks which may be filled up with cobwebs or blocks of stone jutting out from the top. The tunnels are connected by incomplete rail systems on the ground, on which minecarts with chests generate uncommonly. Cobwebs do not generate if they would not be connected to solid blocks, while corridors generate with log pillars, chains and fences for support if they are in mid-air.
- Crossings: dual-floor, 5×5 intersections supported by wooden columns.
- Staircases: diagonal tunnels, stair blocks are not used.
- Abandoned passageways: accessory corridors with cobwebs concealing cave spider spawners.
