Minecraft player discovers creepy eye-shaped cave

Minecraft’s world is filled with interesting and exciting surprises. While finding diamonds and rare loot brings a smile to players faces, they may sometimes come across structures least expected. A Minecraft player and Reddit user, u/MegalocerusGiganteus, shared an image on the game's subreddit, showing the player walking inside a cave holding a torch. Everything seems normal until one notices an eery structure that looks like an eye.

The original poster captioned the image, saying the naturally generated cave looks like a face:

Reacting to this post, user u/iamsofunnyheheheha said that the torch placement in the photo is also perfect. Another user named u/Zakshei wondered whether the placement of the torches was intentional or not.

Another user, u/kapper_358, stated it must be a dragon, while u/RunMeRamen said they would be frightened by such a sight. User u/Standard_Abrocoma_70 added that the cave noises are scary enough and that they do not need the game to make them feel like they're being watched.

User u/YeetOrBeYeeted420 said this reminds them of the wise and mystical tree, while u/feddy69 referenced the famous dystopian horror book 1984, saying it gives them Big Brother vibes.

Meanwhile, u/Secondhand-Drunk said that when you stare into the abyss, it also stares back. This was a reference to the popular line in philosophy.

User u/Rerry_Tocky asked the original poster for the seed and coordinates of the area. They provided the world's seed and said coordinates can be seen in the screenshot.

Another user named u/Yamm0th said they must now place torches strategically to light up the territory. They added that the OP should share the version of Minecraft they are playing.

Based on the screenshot, it appears to be the Bedrock Edition (Pocket Edition) although the version is unknown.

Minecraft terrain generation

The blocky world of Minecraft is massive, and players would have to walk for months to reach its farthest ends. This large size is possible because of the procedural generative nature. An algorithm works under the hood, determining what structures will be built and where.

When players move around, structures such as forests, villages, and desert temples all spawn randomly but within a structure. This is why an acacia tree does not spawn in the Pale Garden biome.

However, this is not always the case. Sometimes, the algorithm can make errors, leading to some hilarious spawns. Examples include a desert temple spawned in the middle of the lake, or a pillager tower taller than the mountains. Finding these special structures is another fun element of exploring the world of Minecraft.
