Gold, surface mineshafts and cave spiders

Badlands generate extra gold ore, and much of it shows up on cliff faces above sea level. Many mineshafts are exposed at the surface, so you can walk straight in without digging. Cave spiders spawn from their spawners, and their bite poisons, so bring milk and a sword.

• Gold: mine it for ingots, clocks, powered rails and piglin trades.
• Minecart chests: check them for rails, bread, iron and sometimes enchanted books.
• Spawners: light the tunnels and break the webs to stop the spiders.

Cacti and dead bushes dot the sand. Armadillos wander here too, and their scutes make wolf armor.

A mineshaft near spawn can supply rails and iron for your early game.

Building with natural clay colors

Terracotta is the signature material here. Mine the natural bands as they are, or smelt clay into plain terracotta and dye it for a custom palette. Glazed terracotta adds patterns for floors and walls.

Mesas have flat tops that are perfect for a base. Trees are rare, so collect wood from a nearby biome before you settle. Cliffs give a long view over the desert beyond.

• Use mesa edges for lookouts and defensive walls.
• Check cliff faces for ores before digging deep.
• Keep a water bucket for falls off steep terraces.

Pair red sandstone with terracotta for a warm southwestern look.
