The change of background that marks the beginning of the Cavern layer.

The Cavern layer is the largest layer, beginning just below the Underground and extending down until the Underworld layer. Darker stone background tiles characterize it. Stone is the predominant block in this layer (as opposed to Dirt in the Underground). Caverns contain occasional Underground Cabins where valuables can be found, as well as Glowing Mushroom biomes, dangerous traps, rare and dangerous Spider Cave mini-biomes, and much more.

After defeating at least one Goblin Invasion, the Goblin Tinkerer NPC can be found in this layer. The Wizard NPC can also be found in this layer at any time during Hardmode.

In large worlds, lava begins to appear around -2100ft in small pools, which gradually become lava wells at around the -3000ft mark.

Large 240 ft 960 ft 1680 ft
