Butterbot Posted February 28, 2022 Report Posted February 28, 2022 I have a standard cellar (7×7×4, all bricks cobblestone) with one door as an entry, lit by an unlined copper lantern on the ceiling. It is underneath my house. When I go in it, spooky cave music starts playing, and I have had a drifter spawn in it when temporal activity was medium. The cellar is directly under my storage room, my basement's basement. Is it simply too deep? I thought maybe the fact that the staircase down to it strays outside the house footprint underground might be the issue, but when I isolated the cellar from the staircase and just dropped a ladder down from the floor above, I still got the cave music. Any suggestions, or do I simply have a haunted basement?
baba Posted February 28, 2022 Report Posted February 28, 2022 I think the problem is depth I had this happen to me before too My cellar was down a ladder and the cave music played when I climbed completely down to the cellar but now when I was a block up. Also to stop the drifter spawns light it up properly.
Butterbot Posted February 28, 2022 Author Report Posted February 28, 2022 Thanks! I'll add more lanterns when my bees allow, hopefully that'll help!

Philtre Posted March 3, 2022 Report Posted March 3, 2022 Materials play a part in the definition of a "cave". You can try to replace some blocks with ceramic-type blocks (such as hardened clay, clay shingle, or clay brick) or with lightly-chiseled stone/cobblestone blocks - both of those are acceptable for cellars but will prevent it from being a cave. Note that if stuff is spawning in your cellar and it's not a temporal storm, it is probably not sufficiently well-lit.
Butterbot Posted March 19, 2022 Author Report Posted March 19, 2022 Do ceramic blocks protect better? It's currently different types of cobblestone blocks. I added a torch in a holder, and while I haven't had any additional spawns, it still plays cave music.
