Ravines are the eroded canyon formations in Minecraft. Ravines are one of the best places to find lots of resources.

Ravines are large, deep cracks that generate in different types of biomes, including oceans, plains, deserts and more. Ravines in Minecraft are an easy and fast way to go deep into the ground without having to dig down. Sometimes, these ravines may generate below y level 10 exposing diamonds on its wall. Ravines also serve as an excellent source of iron ore and coal ore. Finding a ravine right next to the spawn can give players a quick boost in terms of resources. Players may also find mineshafts peaking through the walls of ravines.

Ravines are a very common structure in Minecraft. Players can find ravines by exploring areas near their base. Finding them is an easy task in plain biomes.

Players living in the desert need to be careful when searching for a ravine. In desert biomes, ravines can be hidden under sand blocks. When a player walks over these sand blocks, they will start falling and die as a result. Using elytra or horse is a better way to explore them.

Explore Caves

Ravines can also generate deep below the ground. Underground ravines are usually connected to some cave systems. Some caves with an entry point at the surface can have huge ravines hidden inside them.

Be careful while exploring these caves and ravines. Contrary to exposed ravines on the surface, these ravines receive no light and are home to hostile mobs in Minecraft. Always take torches and place them inside caves and ravines.

Look for Ravines in the ocean biomes

Ravines can generate deep under the ocean. Players can find some diamond and gold ores when exploring these underwater ravines. Often these ravines generate below the lava level, which turns into obsidian and magma blocks. When a player sees a bubble column in the middle of the sea, it means there is a ravine below them.
