- Abandoned Mineshafts are obvious once you have found then. It is because they are the only naturally generated structures that use wood and fences. Also, there are cobwebs which are scattered around them, especially around Cave Spider spawners. There are not any surefire ways to find it. However, you can start by exploring various caves. If you see a Wooden Planks, you know that you have found one. You can also look for a ravine because abandoned mineshafts can sometimes be found intersecting them.
- Abandoned Mineshafts are not able to be found by any special means. However, they have the characteristic of significant horizontal extent. You are able to find a ravine and then search its length. If a mineshaft intersects a ravine, the mineshaft will have wooden bridges which cross the ravine. There must be a minimum and maximum depth (Y coordinate) at which mineshafts happen. So, you can also limit your search to those levels. However, there is no information about it on the Wiki.
- The quickest way to find mineshafts in Minecraft is by swimming in deep water. Deep Oceans will crape the top of the mineshafts open.
- Abandoned mineshafts span across a lot of levels due to their maze-like structure. However, they will always stop 8 blocks above ground. So, you have to dig at least this far to find one. If you want to find them easier, you can search under the ocean. Sometimes they will break through the ocean floor. Or, you can also find in a ravine because abandoned mineshafts are likely to spawn hallways inside them.
Well, hopefully, the explanation from other Minecraft players that we re-type above can be helpful for you in finding abandoned mineshafts.
