Magnetic Caves
The Magnetic Caves is the first cave biome added by Alex's Caves. It is a dark biome that is somewhat illuminated by glowing neodymium crystals. Most of the magnetic caves consists of a stone type called Galena, which is iron-rich and can be packed and smelted into iron nuggets. The magnetic caves can be dangerous to traverse, due to the ferromagnetic properties of chainmail/netherrite/iron armor and decent amount of monsters with powerful attacks.
Ambience
When inside a Magnetic Caves biome, the sky takes on a dark color. Occasional lightning effects in the colors of azure and scarlet neodymium will arc around the player. Small floating chunks of galena can be seen moving upwards and downwards, seemingly unaffected by gravity.
Generation
Although most of the biome is made of galena, there are some other notable blocks and generation features. Charged Galena veins intersect the biome, faintly glowing with energy.
Ferrocave
A technical structure used for custom cave generation called alexscaves:ferrocave gives some of the cave shape to this biome by carving out large, spherical caves full of neodymium crystals and floating galena orbs.
Blocks
Galena
Asides from normal galena and charged galena, Galena Spires can also be found in groups here, usually centered around a Tesla Bulb on the roof or ceiling.
Tesla Bulb
Tesla bulbs are electric eminences perched on top of galena spires. Lightning can arch out of these and damage nearby mobs. If struck with a projectile or mined, these Tesla Bulbs will begin to rapidly pulse damaging lightning, then explode.
Neodymium
Neodymium is the main resource of the Magnetic Caves, and comes in two forms: Azure (Repelling Force) and Scarlet (Attracting Force).
Mobs
Normal monsters added by vanilla Minecraft can spawn in this biome, along with five new mobs exclusive to the Magnetic Caves.
| Mob | Spawn weight | Group size |
|---|---|---|
| Monster category | ||
| Ambient category | ||
Structures
The magnetic caves is the only biome where Magnetic Factories can spawn. These small structures can carry loot and Magnets that can inform explorers of the mechanics and contents of this biome.
