The Dwarven Mines is a location that is focused on Mining. It has several unique minerals, including Mithril and Titanium. The Heart of the Mountain can be upgraded here. Having Mining XII and completing Rhys' Quest is the requirement to enter this location.
To travel to the Dwarven Mines, players need to complete a quest at Rhys, an NPC in the ⏣ Obsidian Sanctuary. In the quest, the player has to collect 3 of 10 different enchanted ores each, which can be found in the ⏣ Deep Caverns. When the player gives Rhys the required materials, he will teleport them to the Dwarven Mines, and unlock the option to travel there in the Lift Operator.
Players will arrive in the Dwarven Village where they can purchase better pickaxes, among other things.
For simple navigation and quick locating all required areas the player can use the Minecart Tunnels as described below.
After exiting the Dwarven Village, players will see Mithril veins on the walls, ceiling, and floor of the Mines. These can be mined by a pickaxe with at least 4 Ⓟ Breaking Power, rewarding Mithril and Mithril Powder. Occasionally, Titanium may spawn after mining a block in a Mithril vein, which will require a pickaxe with at least 5 Ⓟ Breaking Power.
Players can then proceed across a bridge to the Royal Palace. There, players can talk to the Dwarven Kings, which will allow players to start commissions.
The Mist, at the bottom of the Dwarven Mines, is filled with Ghosts, invisible charged Creepers, that can be damaged, although they are one of the strongest Mobs in the game and should only be fought by endgame players. They deal huge amounts of damage and are likely to one shot unprepared players. As there are no other things located in The Mist, new players should avoid going to the location.
Minecart Tunnels
In order to find specific places easier, the player can use the entrance to the tunnels located at 40, 200, -95, which go through every place of the Dwarven Mines and offer an exit in every area. This is useful for finding the area of commissions and can prove especially useful for players new to the location.
Major Events
Every 20 minutes real-time from when the server started (so events are not perfectly sychronized with each other on different servers), an event will trigger, which rewards Mining experience, Heart of the Mountain experience, Mithril Powder, and/or Bits. See Garry in game for additional information. For events that are in a specific location, 20 seconds before the event starts, a message in chat will allow players to teleport to Garry, who will then allow players to teleport to the target location.
Prior to the release of the Crystal Hollows, events would always follow this pattern: Goblin/Raffle -> 2x Powder -> Goblin/Raffle -> 2x Powder -> Goblin/Raffle -> 2x Powder
2x Powder
The 2x Powder event doubles all Mithril Powder gains in the Dwarven Mines for all players for the duration. If a Powder Ghast spawns during this event, powder gained from it will also be doubled.
Raffle
During the Raffle, Raffle Tickets will spawn as dropped items around a specified location. Players collect as many as possible and deposit them into the box. Upon completion, all players are rewarded, with three lucky players receiving 3x rewards. Depositing more Raffle Tickets than other players will increase the player's chance to get 3x rewards.
Goblin Raid
During the Goblin Raid, Goblins spawn around the target location. Players must kill 1,000 total Goblins within 5 minutes to finish the event and will receive extra rewards by having at least 25 kills.
Superprotectrons may spawn in the middle of Goblin packs, protecting nearby Goblins from damage. They take damage in increments of 1 and will reward 10 kills towards players' personal count if they contribute to its death.
Goblins spawned from this event are immune to ability damage and take highly reduced damage while a Superprotectron is nearby.
If players are unsuccessful in defeating the required number of goblins in the allotted time, participants will receive 50% reduced rewards.
Killing Goblins in the Goblin Burrows will count towards the counter as well. It's an easy way weaker players can contribute to the event and gain the full rewards.
Gone with the Wind
The Gone with the Wind event has wind blowing in a random directions throughout the Dwarven Mines. Players who are facing the direction of the wind gain massively increased ⸕ Mining Speed, decreased the further their direction are from the wind, with an increase between 0 and 600. A compass is present in the player's scoreboard, showing the wind direction
Better Together
The Better Together event has players gain 500 ⸕ Mining Speed and 50 ☘ Mining Fortune when they are within 20 blocks of other players.
Mithril Gourmand
During the Mithril Gourmand event, Don Expresso appears in front of the Dwarven Tavern and wants some Tasty Mithril from a location in the Dwarven Mines. Mining in the selected area will sometimes give the player Tasty Mithril. The players have to give him 200 of it within 10 minutes to succeed; bringing him at least 10 personally grants extra rewards. After Don Expresso receives all requested mithril, the event timer is reduced to 1 minute. During this time all other participants can still return their harvest.
Minor Events
Additionally, minor events can randomly trigger. These events are smaller in scale. The chance for these events can be increased in the Heart of the Mountain skill tree.
Powder Ghast
A Powder Ghast will spawn at a random location in the Dwarven Mines. The Powder Ghast takes damage in increments of 1 and rewards Mithril Powder for every hit.
Fallen Star
A Fallen Star will crash at a random location in the Dwarven Mines. Mithril Powder and ore drops are increased by +2 within a 20 block radius around the Fallen Star. The ore drop increase works on Refined Mineral and Compact drops, but is not affected by ☘ Mining Fortune. Star Sentries spawn around the Fallen Star and attack any player on sight. Slaying them rewards players with Starfall and Mithril.
Daily Events
These are events that will reset every day.
Fetchur
Every day, Fetchur asks the player to bring him a random item from his list, rewarding the player with 1000 Mithril Powder and 20,000 coins.
Puzzler
Once a day, players may talk to the Puzzler to complete a puzzle to receive 1000 Mithril Powder. This quest, unlike Fetchur's quest, doesn't reset on a new day, but rather, after 24 hours from completing it.

The King will offer the player commissions to complete in order to obtain Heart of the Mountain experience, Mining experience, Mithril Powder, and other valuables.

Trivia
- The map for the Dwarven Mines is internally called the Deeper Caverns.
- The Dwarven Mines were possibly initially called the Dwarven Caves. Trying to use the Royal Pigeon outside of the Dwarven Mines used to display the message, "You may not use this Item outside the Dwarven Caves!"
- There used to be a hole in the ceiling (located at 66, 222, -83) that would lead the player onto the roof of the mines, where there was text, written in blocks, that read:
- "WHY ARE YOU UP HERE?"
"COS"
"THE NERVE!" - This was removed at an unknown date.
- "WHY ARE YOU UP HERE?"
- Before November 8, 2021, players could use the command /warpforge to travel to the Dwarven forge, without having to consume a Travel Scroll. Since November 8, 2021, a Travel Scroll must be consumed in order for the command to function. Prior to the update, the command could also be used while combat tagged or as a spectator in Dungeons.
