About these results

Each location is a prediction from the generation model for the version you choose. It is not a check in the game. The model applies placement and biome rules, but terrain and later generation can still stop a structure from generating.

World spawn is estimated from the seed. If you know your spawn point, or want results near where you are now, search from your own coordinates.

Pick the version your world was created in. Structures generate when chunks are first loaded, so areas explored in an older version keep that version's structures. Bedrock results come from a separate community model that has not been independently checked against the game.

Mineshaft facts

Networks of abandoned mining tunnels with wooden supports, rails, chest minecarts, and cave spider spawners. Players explore them for supplies and rare loot, including the Bounce music disc in Sulfur Caves.

Normal mineshafts generate underground; badlands mineshafts can appear higher up and break through the surface. Exposed corridors can receive supporting logs or suspension chains.
