Andesite Mines are gray-toned caves where andesite stone is naturally concentrated, providing easy access to this building material.

​
Overview

Biome ID: ANDESITE_MINES
Vanilla Replacement: minecraft:dripstone_caves
Color Code: #A6A898

​
Terrain Palette

Andesite Mines feature a simple two-material palette:

​
Surface Layers (2 blocks deep)

  • Stone (dominant - 3 parts)
  • Andesite (1 part)

​
Subsurface Layer (1 block deep)

  • Stone (dominant - 3 parts)
  • Andesite (1 part)

​
Deepslate Transition

Below Y-level 7, terrain uses the ANDESITE_MINES_DEEPSLATE palette.
Andesite appears at a 1:3 ratio with stone, creating veins and pockets throughout the cave system.

​
Features

Andesite Mines are primarily defined by their terrain palette and do not include additional feature decorations.

​
Environment

Andesite Mines provide a mining-focused cave biome with abundant gray andesite throughout. The gray tones create a neutral, industrial feel to these caves. Like other mine biomes, these feel like natural quarries optimized for resource gathering.
This biome is excellent for gathering andesite for builds, particularly for players who prefer gray stone variants.

​
Palette Configuration

The terrain generation uses:
  • Sampler Type: Cellular with domain warp
  • Frequency: 0.08 (surface), 0.8 (subsurface)
  • Warp Frequency: 0.01 (surface), 0.1 (subsurface)
  • Dimensions: 2D sampling
