In Minecraft, there are 3 cave biomes : Lush Caves, Dripstone Caves, and the Deep Dark.

Quick Scoop

These are the underground biomes most players mean when they ask about cave biomes, and current sources consistently list three. Some older guides mentioned fewer because cave updates changed over time.

The three cave biomes

  • Lush Caves.
  • Dripstone Caves.
  • Deep Dark.

Note

Minecraft also has lots of underground cave shapes and structures, but those are not separate biomes.
