Changes

There are 120 floors (sometimes called levels) in the Mines. Ore type and quantity increases as [[the Player]] moves deeper into the Mines. The Mines are filled with rocks and dirt patches. Rocks can be mined with a [[Pickaxes|Pickaxe]] in order to obtain [[Stone]], ore, and [[Minerals#Geodes|Geodes]]. A [[Hoes|Hoe]] can be used on dirt patches to collect [[Minerals]], [[Artifacts]], ore, [[Clay]], and [[Cave Carrot]]s.

To advance deeper in the Mines, a ladder must be revealed on each floor. The ladder will appear after breaking rocks or after defeating an enemy (killing enemies is the stamina-free option to finding ladders). If a floor is "infested" or "overrun" by monsters, all enemies must be defeated on that floor before a ladder will appear. (Note, however, that there is a bug that affects very few floors where a ladder will drop before all enemies are killed.)

Passing out in the Mines from exhaustion (zero [[Energy]]) or when 2:00 am arrives will result in 10% of gold lost up to a maximum of {{Price|1000}}. Passing out from drained [[Health]] will result in losing anywhere between 5%-25% of gold (up to a maximum of {{Price|15000}})<ref name="minedeath" /> and also various inventory items, including [[Weapons]] and [[Tools]] (except for the [[Galaxy Sword]]). If tools are lost, they are returned in the mail on the following day, though [[Tools#Fishing Poles|Fishing Poles]] and weapons will not be returned. The player will awaken in the mine entrance, found by one of the [[villagers]].

The corresponding floors in each section have the same layout. For example, Floor 5, 45, and 85 have the same layout; as does 19, 59, and 99; or Floor 31, 71, and 111; and so on.

Containers in the Mines may randomly drop loot when destroyed. Containers are equally likely to be crates or barrels; the possible contents are not affected by the type of container. At most one type of item will be dropped by a crate, although one stack may contain multiple items.

Most containers respawn every time a floor is entered. Containers on reward floors in the Mines, however, are only spawned the first time entering there. After those containers are destroyed, no new containers will appear on these floors.

Some items replace others depending on if the player has reached the bottom of the Mines. Where there are two values, the first is before reaching the bottom of the Mines, the second is after. The possible items found in containers and their chances are<ref name="barreldrop" />:
