Mineshaft

Abandoned Mine Shafts are a new type of structure that will be added in Beta 1.8, along with strongholds. They are made up of blocks such as minecart tracks, wooden planks, torches, and cobwebs. Cave Spiders are exclusive to these areas. There are chests spread throughout the mine that contain things such as gold and iron ingots, ores, food or seeds. They can even contain diamonds or pickaxes and may sometimes spawn in air as a world generation glitch. Cave Spider spawners can also be found, and are coated completely in Webs, filling large parts of the air around it. these dungeons can be extremely large and have more than 1 dungeon connected to it. Abandoned Mine Shaft is also rich with ores such as iron, gold, and (rare) diamond.
