Notes

Without question, this is one of the most complex underground areas that I've found so far. I counted no less than six underground cave complexes that all branch out toward X=0,Z=0. That means that there's a possibility that some of them may meet to form one single massive complex -- which would be outrageous -- or you could dig to connect them. Conversely, the top side is full of villages. Lots of stuff to see and do.

Villages

  • [341.80.276] village, x10, guard tower, water well, blacksmith, pumpkins
  • [101.71.276] village, x2, water well
  • [372.73.4] village, x2, guard tower, water well, blacksmith, on hill

  • [-156.70.-428] village, x2, water well
  • [-220.70.5] village, x9, water well
  • [84.74.53] village, x12, guard tower, water well

Underground

  • [-212.56.256] stalactite cave
  • [-189.55.-406] cavern beside lake
  • [-196.25.330] abandoned mineshaft, x5 gold
  • [366.28.-378] gorgeous massive crater
  • [362.12.-390] x8 diamonds
  • [-260.27.-289] dungeon, spider, x2 chest, x7 gunpowder, x4 red stone
  • [-221.14.-332] x4 gold

Etymology

You know in cartoons when someone has to sign on the dotted line and they make an "X"? That's a real life thing. Historically, people who didn't know how to write their own name would use a crisscross -- which comes from "Christ's cross". Originally it wasn't an "X", but an actual cross and people would sign with the Christian cross to promise "to God" to fulfill the contract. Over time, the cross got tipped on it's side and now is an "X".

Today, the word "crisscross" means to cross over and then back (think laces on a shoe).

Notes

Tons of villages, including three big ones. One of them even has diamonds. I found some really nice old-school rock formations -- not the least of which is an epic-sized land bridge.
