Underground Cabin

Underground Cabins are small subterranean structures generated at world creation. They are themed after the biome they are found in, being built with blocks that represent that biome, and contain the appropriate chest type that carries all the special loot. Often they also contain pots for additional loot. Chests found in Underground Cabins require no keys to unlock, and contain an assortment of accessories, potions, weapons and coins. Underground Cabins also contain various furniture items such as statues, tables, chairs, bookcases, kegs, looms, pianos, extractinators, and chandeliers. Many paintings can in particular be obtained only from Underground Cabins.

Notes

Cabins may be used for housing if they are "repaired" in the sense of patching up wall holes and supplying any missing furniture requirements. This does not require the player to destroy existing walls or furniture and then re-place them. Alternatively it is entirely possible to destroy the entire cabin and then use the materials to build a house elsewhere.
Chandeliers, if present, are in the turned off state, but breaking and replacing them will turn them on.
Cabins are frequently set with traps, including activated Statues wired to Pressure Plates, but the wire circuits powering them are sometimes incomplete and present no risk to the player.
Underground Cabins can occur in any underground biome.

Trivia

Underground Minecart Tracks can occasionally run through an Underground Cabin, making the cabin look like a train stop.
In Celebrationmk10(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) worlds, half of all Underground Cabins will have their blocks and walls replaced with Rainbow Bricks, and the other half will be painted with a diagonal rainbow pattern.
