Locations
Minecraft Mineshafts will spawn in any Overworld biome and they spawn underground or rarely underwater. However, in the Badlands biome, they have a chance of occurring above ground in the mountains.
They are a rare natural structure and can be quite difficult to find. However, oak planks or a large open and dirty room are an absolute indication of the presence of a mine shaft.
Structures
Mine shafts can be small or have a chance to spawn in clusters forming a huge series of mine shaft tunnels and corridors. They also intersect with caves and ravines while the wooden edges are supported by currents.
An open room with a dirt floor and a walkway with fences and wooden blocks is an unshakable indication for the start of a mine shaft. The entire Mineshaft is made up of long corridors, intersections and stairs. They are lines with fences and wooden blocks and usually contain exposed ores and mine carts and rails.
Mineshaft also has a chance to contain Cave Spider spawners. The areas around the spawner were lined with cobwebs.

- Enchanted Golden Apple
