Description
Cave Vines are a soft trailing plant that grows in dark damp underground areas and they add a natural look to caves and stone halls. They hang from ceilings and climb walls and bring a green living touch to places that would otherwise be bare and rocky. Players like to use Cave Vines for decoration because they are low cost and easy to gather once you find a cave system with them. They also have practical uses since they can be harvested for building small gardens in low light and for making quiet pathways feel more natural. When placed on a wall or ceiling Cave Vines will hang down and create layers of vegetation that are perfect for secret entrances and hidden alcoves. Cave Vines are forgiving to place and remove which makes them ideal when you are experimenting with interior decoration and when you want to add organic details to underground bases. They do not block movement and they let light through which keeps interiors from feeling closed in. For players who want to build naturalistic bases or who enjoy cave exploration Cave Vines are a small but effective resource that helps transform sharp stone into a living space. The plant material is renewable under the right conditions and it encourages players to cultivate small indoor farms that work in poor light. Because Cave Vines are associated with exploration and discovery placing them near entrances and along tunnels gives a base the feel of being lived in and connected to the environment.
What is Cave Vines?
Cave Vines are decorative plant blocks that grow in dark damp underground areas and hang from ceilings and walls. They are used mainly for visual decoration to make caves and man made underground areas feel alive and natural. The plant is not a heavy duty block but it is useful for adding texture and green detail to builds where normal plants cannot grow.
Where to find Cave Vines
Cave Vines are found in dark underground caverns and in the new cave related biomes that generate deep underground. You will find them hanging from ceilings of large caverns and growing on the sides of stone pillars in shaded areas. Search deep cave systems especially near water pools and dripstone features to find clusters of Cave Vines which are common in areas that are damp and sheltered from bright light.
How to get Cave Vines
To get Cave Vines harvest them carefully by breaking the vines with your hand or use shears if your game rules allow shears to collect more. They can drop as items that you can carry and then plant in a new location. In creative mode pick them from the inventory. If you have a sapling like approach you can also encourage small growth by placing them in shaded areas that match their natural habitat.
