help how do I use the mine portal

Costs 0 Oak Wood, 32 Stone (Not Cobblestone) and 2K Gold. You can buy this from Yulif at his Carpenter’s Shop.

A few blocks deep, the stone will be altered to display a texture similar to a cave entrance. Pressing against this will teleport the player to the mines, where a Hammer is needed to break boulders and ore nodes. In lower levels, Dark versions of the adoptable farm animals will begin to spawn, and destroy your light sources.

Mine Layout[]

The Mine takes place in another dimension called The Void. It consists of 3 block high floors connected by ladders. They are stacked from maximum Y to 0. There are no floor skips or elevators.

On the bottom floor, you will find 1 or more cave entrances that teleport you to the next level. On the top level, you always find a cave entrance that leads you back to the previous level.

As you go deeper, dark versions of the Harvest Festival animals will spawn to increase the difficulty. First there are no mobs, then super fast baby chickens come at you. On the next level, grown up chickens starts to appear, then sheep, and finally cows. These only have increasingly high health without any special abilities.

The next level of ores starts to appear towards the bottom floors of every level. The frequency of an ore to spawn is always the same. There is no increase in the later levels.

The mine will reset every in-game day, so you don't need to go very deep. Keep in mind, time is still advancing while you are down in the mine! After the 4th level, all the levels has the same chances for ores and contains the same enemies.

To get back to the Overworld without walking all the way up, use the Escape Rope that can be bought from Brandon in the Mining Hut. It has a single use.


*** SPOILER ****

  • You can use an Ender Book from Granny Katlin to set waypoints in the mines and teleport to them whenever you need an ore. For example, you set a waypoint at the first floor of the first 4 levels.
  • You might try to use an Ender Wing Prime from Granny Katlin to teleport back, but that won't let you teleport through dimensions.
  • An Automatic Torch from Granny Katlin might be a good choice. While you have it in your inventory, it will place torches when the light level goes below enemy mob spawning level. It will run until it wears down. To turn it on/off, you need to break a torch with it!

Trivia[]

  • There are no mobs on the first floor of any level.
  • The levels are generating in every 100x100 blocks areas or so. Despite, after level 3, you will be connected to the next one straight to the East.
  • There can be multiple cave entrances on the last floor, but all will lead to the same level.
  • Dungeons from the Recurrent Complex mod will still generate in The Void. Rarely these will cut into the mines.

Bugs[]

  • It can happen that the generation is wrong on a floor and the ladder from the floor below won't connect. These ladders can span across a whole floor.
  • There are usually small fully closed up rooms that also a sign of a bad generation.

(There is no good solution for these situations as the walls are unbreakable. Switch to spectator mode and fly down a floor to continue the journey.)
