The dripstone caves biome is an underground biome filled with pointed dripstone and dripstone blocks.

Description

Large dripstone

A large stalagnate.

On the surface, this biome is indistinguishable from a plains biome.

Underground, dripstone caves generate as a cave biome but with dripstone blocks and pointed dripstone both hanging as stalactites and growing from the ground as stalagmites. Very large dripstone speleothem structures generate occasionally inside ravines. They mostly appear like regular caves, except with patches of dripstone blocks and pointed dripstone.

Dripstone caves cannot generate naturally in normal worlds, but can be generated with a buffet or custom world type. Only bees that generated along oak trees, and mobs that spawn in dungeons can spawn here. Otherwise no mobs can spawn in this biome.[1]
