Cave Biomes

## Biomes

A variety of cave biomes exist throughout The Afterlight Dimension. These biomes typically generate exclusively in the depths underneath a specific biome. For example, the Shadow Caves only generate under a Shadow Forest biome.

## Glowing Caves

The glowing caves are a common cave biome that generate underneath Moonlight Forests. They contain cave shrooms and some moon crystal outcrops which can be broken to obtain Moon Crystals.

Both Moonspawns and Dark Skeletons spawn in this cave biome.

## Tips

Given the medium light levels of this biome, it can be difficult for mobs to respawn.

## Aqua Caves

The aqua caves are a dark but only midly dangerous cave biome that generate underneath Moonlight Swamps. Water generates in this biome, making travel through these caves somewhat difficult.

Moonspawns and Dark Skeletons have only a low chance of spawning in this cave biome.

## Tips

Having some blocks handy is very useful to traveling through this biome, as it might be beneficial to block off stray water sources.

## Bloodweed Caves

The bloodweed caves are a dark and very dangerous cave biome that generate underneath Moonlight Highlands. The main source of foliage here are bloodweeds, which the player can harvest bloodberries from.

Crimson Skeletons spawn here, which are very dangerous mobs. Both Moonspawns and Dark Skeletons can also potentially spawn.

## Tips

It's typically a good idea to stay away from the Blood Skeletons, as they can easily kill you if you are not prepared for their heavy hits. Consider gearing up with considerable armor before entering the biome.

## Verdant Caves

The verdant caves are a lush cave biome that generates underneath the Moonlight Lowlands biome. It is by far the most dense biome currently added by the mod, as it can get very crowded in small tunnels when there are so many bits of foliage and leaves.

Moonspawns naturally spawn here. Dark Skeletons can also rarely spawn as well.

## Tips

Verdant caves are very dense, meaning travel thoughout them can be difficult. It might be beneficial if you are wishing to save time to avoid this biome, at least if you are exploring narrow tunnels.

## Shadow Caves

The Shadow Caves are varied darkness cave biome that generates underneath Shadow Forests. They contain various shadow plants that emit small amounts of light, and a dark purple colored moss.

Moonspawns and Dark Skeletons can spawn in this cave biome.

## Tips

It can be difficult for mobs to spawn naturally in this biome, given the varied amounts of light levels. Sometimes, however, the light level can drop below optimal.

## Geode Caves (Upcoming)

The Geode Caves are a bright cave biome that generates underneath Geode Fields biomes. They contain pink glowing crystals and golden tipped plants.

No mobs can naturally spawn here due to the light levels throughout the biome. However, occasionally Moonspawns can be found in the biome.

## Tips

Since the biome is so bright, this cave biome is the safest of all of the cave biomes currently added into The Afterlight Dimension. The biome is a sufficient source of Radiant Crystal shards and golden nuggets, as those two items are useful for Glyph Working.
