# \u26cf\ufe0f CaveBlock \u2014 Can You Dig Your Way Out?<\/p>\n
You wake up deep underground. No sky, no trees, no surface. Just stone in every direction.<\/p>\n
CaveBlock flips the SkyBlock formula upside down \u2014 literally. Instead of starting above the void and building down, you start buried underground and must mine, dig, and tunnel your way toward the surface. Every block you break is progress. Every cave you discover is an opportunity.<\/p>\n
## \ud83c\udfae How It Works<\/p>\n
– \ud83e\udea8 **Start underground** \u2014 surrounded by stone, deepslate, and darkness
\n– \u26cf\ufe0f **Mine everything** \u2014 resources are earned through digging, not generators
\n– \ud83d\udd26 **Discover caves** \u2014 natural cave systems, ores, and lava await
\n– \u2600\ufe0f **Reach the surface** \u2014 break through to the sky and build above ground
\n– \ud83d\udc65 **Teams** \u2014 work together to excavate faster<\/p>\n

\n– **All BentoBox addons** \u2014 challenges, levels, warps, and more work with CaveBlock
\n– **Free and open source**<\/p>\n
