The Dwarf will first speak Dwarvish to the player, which they won't initially understand. Here are some notable things about the Dwarf: It's a Valley Resident, meaning players can form a meaningful relationship with it, albeit more as a friend. The Dwarf serves as the main resident living in the Mines. If ejected in this manner, players not only lose 10-percent of their Gold acquired, but they may also lose items they've acquired. Players will be ejected from the Mine if the time of day reaches 2AM, pass out from exhaustion, or become defeated in battle. Sadly, players can't exactly stay inside the Mines. Meanwhile, players need a Hoe to collect cave carrots, clay, ore, artifacts, and minerals from Dirt Patches. Players need to use a Pickaxe to break Rocks and get its geodes, ores, and stones. The game's mining component rests within Rocks and Dirt Patches. Players need to defeat an enemy or break some rocks in order for exit ladders to appear for them.

The Mines is separated into 120 Levels or floors, each divided by a ladder that either goes up or down a floor. Players have a ton of content to sift through as they venture into the Mines. Unfortunately, as a farm owner, players do need to venture into the Mines to gather valuable resources for their projects.

It's common knowledge amongst Stardew Valley citizens that monsters and treasure lie deep inside the Mines.
