Deep beneath this forested world spread endless Dripstone caves with just a few Lush enclaves. This is a very fun seed if you’re looking for a rich, cave-based playthrough, and there’s even easy access to Zombie Spawner for extra fun in the late game.

This is a famous seed known for surface adventuring that mimics the now-defunct Farlands setup. But the lesser-known fact about this seed is that there are plenty of Lush cave systems located underneath, complete with all sorts of adventuring and dungeoneering content.

For a change of scenery, this seed provides several giant cave complexes situated under this world’s deserts. This paints the cave walls in that warm sandy yellow, making for a very unique building opportunity, especially if you want to recreate ancient Egyptian tombs and pyramids.
