Find every Cheese Cave on your Minecraft seed — Java 26.2 & Bedrock 1.26.40, 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.
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.
Enter your seed and the finder marks estimated cheese-cave locations. Open a marker for coordinates and dig down to that X/Z in the deepslate layers — the cavern opens up well below Y 0.
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.
Yes — both editions, Minecraft 26.2 (Java) and 1.26.40 (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.
