The current caves in Oaklands (Magma Caves, River Caves, Uncertainty Cave, etc.) are fun, but most become easy to farm once you get used to them.
I suggest adding a brand new massive cave called Abyssal Depths (or Shadowforge Cavern), located deep underground — connected from River Caves or near Acid Wastes/Ferwater.
Main Features:
Extremely large size: Multiple layers, huge open areas, very high ceiling, long maze-like paths, and dangerous bottomless abysses (you can fall forever if you're not careful).
Very dark atmosphere: Mostly pitch black, needs strong light sources or special coils to see properly.
Strong enemies: Shadow Beasts (fast + bleed), Lava Guardians, Crystal Horrors, etc. that spawn randomly in deeper areas. Encourages group play or good gear preparation.
3 new exclusive ores (simple blocky square style like current ores in the game, just with new texture + light glow):
Abyssal Shard: Dark gray-black block with faint purple glow. Spawns near the edges of abysses (high fall risk).
Shadowveil Ore: Solid black block with soft purple glow around the edges. Often near strong enemies.
Nexus Core: Dark purple block with brighter purple glow in the center. Rarest one, spawns in the deepest parts.
These ores will have high value when refined/forged (especially Nexus Core) to reward the risk.
Balance & QoL (to make it fun, not too frustrating):
Multiple entrances (at least 2-3 different ways to enter from different surface areas).
Some safe lighting zones where you can place torches or coils to temporarily reduce enemy spawns nearby.
Not too many forced wall-blowing — more natural paths and moderate parkour.
