The '''dripstone caves''' is a cave [[Minecraft:biome]] found in inland areas, filled with clusters and pillars of [[Minecraft:pointed dripstone]] and [[Minecraft:dripstone blocks]].
'''Dripstone caves''' are [[Minecraft:cave biomes]] found in inland areas, filled with clusters and pillars of [[Minecraft:pointed dripstone]] and [[Minecraft:dripstone blocks]].

== Generation ==
Dripstone caves generate underground at any [[Minecraft:altitude]] beneath areas with high [[Minecraft:continentalness]] values (≥ 0.8), which means they are usually found far inland, and are essentially never found under [[Minecraft:ocean]] biomes or bordering a coast. While [[Minecraft:dark forest]]s, [[Minecraft:old growth taiga]]s, [[Minecraft:bamboo jungle]]s, [[Minecraft:wooded badlands]], and [[Minecraft:taiga]]s at temperatures of -0.450 and below are almost guaranteed to have [[Minecraft:lush caves]] under them, dripstone caves may generate under them instead of lush caves when they're far inland.  
Dripstone caves generate underground, generally in areas of high [[Minecraft:continentalness]]. This means they are often found far inland, and are essentially never found under [[Minecraft:ocean]] biomes or bordering a coast.


Although inland areas often generate as dripstone caves, the continentalness requirement will rise in areas of high humidity due to the increasing likelihood of [[Minecraft:lush caves]] generating underground instead. Hence, biomes like [[Minecraft:dark forest]]s, [[Minecraft:old growth taiga]]s, [[Minecraft:bamboo jungle]]s, [[Minecraft:wooded badlands]], and [[Minecraft:taiga]]s will generate dripstone caves much less frequently. Dripstone caves frequently generate under [[Minecraft:Mountains|Mountain]] biomes, as these tend to generate further inland with most not confined to high humidity environments.
Under mountain peaks, dripstone caves usually generate above the [[Minecraft:Deep Dark|deep dark]].

Template:Infobox biome Dripstone caves are Minecraft:cave biomes found in inland areas, filled with clusters and pillars of Minecraft:pointed dripstone and Minecraft:dripstone blocks.

Generation

Dripstone caves generate underground, generally in areas of high Minecraft:continentalness. This means they are often found far inland, and are essentially never found under Minecraft:ocean biomes or bordering a coast.

Although inland areas often generate as dripstone caves, the continentalness requirement will rise in areas of high humidity due to the increasing likelihood of Minecraft:lush caves generating underground instead. Hence, biomes like Minecraft:dark forests, Minecraft:old growth taigas, Minecraft:bamboo jungles, Minecraft:wooded badlands, and Minecraft:taigas will generate dripstone caves much less frequently. Dripstone caves frequently generate under Mountain biomes, as these tend to generate further inland with most not confined to high humidity environments.

Under mountain peaks, dripstone caves usually generate above the deep dark.

Description

File:Large dripstone.png
A large dripstone.

A dripstone cave looks similar to a regular cave, but Minecraft:dripstone blocks and Minecraft:pointed dripstone, both hanging as stalactites and growing from the ground as stalagmites generate throughout the biome. The ground is filled with small Minecraft:water wells of only a few blocks wide, containing waterlogged dripstone.

Large Minecraft:dripstone cluster structures occasionally generate inside expansive caves and ravines. This biome also generates larger copper ore blobs compared to other biomes. Minecraft:Drowned and rarely Minecraft:zombie nautiluses are able to spawn in aquifers, unlike in other biomes. The same cave structures and features can generate as normally, like Minecraft:monster rooms and Minecraft:glow lichen. Template:IN, Minecraft:woodland mansions also rarely generate.

When exposed to the surface, the surface is made entirely out of stone with occasional patches of dripstone. Above Y=120±8, the temperature drops below freezing level in Bedrock Edition, freezing all water and covering the terrain with snow, even when generated in warm biomes like Minecraft:badlands. However, no Minecraft:rain or Minecraft:snowfall occurs as it is an arid biome.
