A cave on the surface
Caves are systems that are available in all Game types. There are several caves around the surface of the world that can have openings to the surface or to the first supercavern. Others are hidden in the world and can only be found by mining toward them. Caves are not always endless, finding that most have a dead end.
Caves may contain treasure chests in which you can take treasure including gold pieces, gold, rubies, diamond, etc. Spider Eggs usually occur near treasure chests as a guard. Rares Chests will marginally spawn in caves located deep in the world.
Caves typically never generate in the Rhyolite layer of the world, meaning that the player will need a Titanium Pickaxe to access the third and final supercavern.
Cave-in[]
- Main Article: Cave-in
Cave-ins (a.k.a. earthquakes) can occur where blocks can be released from the cave roof and drop down. Only blocks not placed by the players will drop, and cave-ins will only occur in the area where players are. Cave-ins will not occur when difficulty is on Peaceful Mode.

Trivia[]
- Digging down toward 900 depth, 1950 depth, and 3030 depth will reach their respective supercaverns. Caves may coincide with these extraordinary features.
- Finding and opening 10 treasure chests will unlock the unlockable, the Pirate Avatar Skin.
