Minecraft Cheese Cave Finder
Cheese Cave finder accuracyEstimateFind every Cheese Cave on your Minecraft seed — Java 26.2 & Bedrock 1.26.30, any seed, free, no sign-up.
Quick answer: Cheese Caves are the largest open caverns the 1.18 cave generator carves — vast hollow spaces deep underground, ideal for bases, mob farms and big ore hauls. This finder shows estimated cheese-cave locations for Java and Bedrock.
What is a Cheese Cave?
Cheese cave is the community name for the biggest cavern type added by the Caves & Cliffs cave generator — wide, hollow "holes in the cheese" deep in the deepslate. They are far larger than ordinary caves, with towering open spans rather than tight tunnels.
How do I find a Cheese Cave from a seed?
Enter your seed and the finder marks estimated cheese-cave locations by size. Open a marker for coordinates and dig down to that X/Z in the deepslate layers — the cavern opens up well below Y 0.
Why look for a Cheese Cave?
The sheer open volume is the draw: a huge pre-dug space for an underground base or a high-rate mob farm, the exposed ore of a large cave system to mine on the way in, and a dramatic build site you do not have to hollow out yourself.
Does the finder work on Bedrock, and why is it an estimate?
Yes — both editions, Minecraft 26.2 (Java) and 1.26.30 (Bedrock). Cheese caves come from the 1.18 noise-cave carver rather than a placed structure, so we publish their positions as an estimate rather than an exact percentage.
