Where to find Lush Caves in Minecraft?

Lush Caves are vibrant underground biomes primarily found beneath specific surface biomes known for their high humidity.

Locating Lush Caves in Minecraft

Lush Caves are a distinctive and easily recognizable underground biome in Minecraft, characterized by their lush greenery, vibrant flora, and unique aquatic elements. They generate at any altitude underground, from deep below the surface to just beneath the bedrock ceiling.

Preferred Surface Biomes

While Lush Caves can theoretically appear anywhere underground, they have a strong tendency to generate underneath surface biomes that have high humidity values. This makes certain biomes much more likely candidates for finding them.

You are most likely to discover Lush Caves by exploring beneath the following surface biomes:

• Swamp
• Dark Forests
• Jungles
• Old Growth Taigas (also known as Giant Tree Taigas)
• Wooded Badlands
• Sometimes Windswept Hills (formerly Extreme Hills)

A key indicator of a Lush Cave being directly below you on the surface is the presence of an Azalea tree. These distinctive trees, with their unique purple flowers, always have a Lush Cave directly beneath their roots. Following the Azalea roots down will lead you straight into the cave system.

Generation Details

Lush Caves are vast and typically filled with glowing berries, moss blocks, spore blossoms, and dripstone. Their watery areas often contain axolotls and glow squids. When searching, focus your efforts on digging down or exploring existing cave systems beneath the biomes listed above.
