Minecraft:Sulfur Caves

Template:Infobox biome Sulfur caves are Minecraft:cave biomes composed of Minecraft:sulfur and Minecraft:cinnabar blocks, where Minecraft:sulfur cubes and Minecraft:cave spiders spawn. Minecraft:Sulfur pools with Minecraft:potent sulfur generate here, as well as Minecraft:sulfur spikes.

Generation

Sulfur caves generate underground at the same depth as Minecraft:lush caves and Minecraft:dripstone caves, although they tend to be much smaller in size and more fragmented. Minecraft:Sulfur springs sometimes generate on the surface, indicating there are sulfur caves below.

The biome tends to generate at very low Minecraft:weirdness values with high erosion and at a broad range of moderate continentalness. This means that they never generate directly under river valleys or below high Minecraft:mountains, though they may generate between rivers or under hilltops. They are common under flatland terrain near Minecraft:swamps, Minecraft:deserts and other flatland biomes.

Orange shading on the graph indicates how far above the approximate surface height (Y-axis) sulfur caves may generate at different weirdness values (X-axis).

Rarely, sulfur caves can generate on the surface at weirdness values below -1.25. They may also leak out of cave openings or ravines.

Description

The main landscape is composed of Minecraft:sulfur and Minecraft:cinnabar, layers in approximately same amount of blocks, with frequent Minecraft:sulfur pools possessing a unique acid-green color of Minecraft:water. Minecraft:Potent sulfur is found only on the bottom of these pools, creating noxious gas with white bubbles particles in and on top of the water. Minecraft:Nausea is inflicted to mobs and players when they come in contact with this noxious gas.

Sulfur spikes in varying patches and sizes generate on top of sulfur. Other terrain blocks such as Minecraft:deepslate and Minecraft:stone variants generate between the sulfur and cinnabar.

Minecraft:Ores rarely generate here, because sulfur and cinnabar replace most stone and deepslate blocks. The sky Minecraft:fog has a unique green color.

When a Minecraft:minecart with chest from a Minecraft:mineshaft spawns in sulfur caves, it has a chance to contain the "Minecraft:Bounce" music disc. In Bedrock Edition, Minecraft:woodland mansions can generate in sulfur caves, similar to other cave biomes, although this is nearly impossible.

With Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals, sulfur caves use warmish color grading, which tints the biome to look more humid and warm. They use a strong, dense Minecraft:volumetric fog; however, this is visible only on the surface with directional lighting.
