Resource Gathering

Please use the resource world!

The preferred way to cave

A lot of players use mods that allow them to see in dark areas without placing torches and this is fine. Players also often sprint through caves mining diamonds exclusively and this is also fine. However it is preferred that you do the majority of your resource caving adventures in the resource world. This is because of how the chunk trimming and regeneration process works. Unfortunately when you do this type of caving you are likely loading chunks for long enough to make them be excluded from being trimmed. This means those chunks will never be regenerated again and because of the world border in the main worlds, this will result in us eventually running out of chunks available to be regenerated and updated to feature the terrain features and mobs of the latest version of Minecraft. So please use the resource world.
