Overhauls the existing underground and Badlands mineshafts into a more interesting experience for gameplay, visuals, and rewards while maintaining a vanilla feel.<\/p>\n

Loot is neither underwhelming or overpowered and is largely the same save for Fortune and Efficiency enchantment books, TNT ingredients, and haste potions.<\/p>\n

As a consequence of using jigsaws and not being hardcoded, these new mineshafts will no longer spawn beneath river or ocean biomes.<\/p>\n

**Now includes:**
\n– TNT and TNT cart mechanics.
\n– Archaeology! Be sure to bring a brush for a few extra goodies.
\n– More minecart types! This includes the largely forgotten about spawner minecarts.
\n– Variety and distinction between individual and especially the kinds of mineshafts themselves.
\n– Cave spiders replace normal spider spawns in mineshafts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
