There is way more to these hills that meets the eye (or the picture above). If you survey the relatively flat ground of the Twilight Forest, you may notice these dome-shaped hills. Beneath the stone shell, the hills are hollow, filled with stone and ore stalactites and stalagmites.
Rising out of the otherwise flat terrain of the Twilight Forest, '''Hollow Hills''' are conspicuous mounds of dirt that conceal a vast hollow cave packed with stalactites and stalagmites, some of which are formed with precious ores and minerals. There is also treasure to be found, but dangerous creatures abound in the darkness that can spell the doom of an unwary explorer.


'''Hollow Hills''' appear as white mounds on a [[Magic Map]]; the size of the mound on the Magic Map corresponds to the Hill's size. Likewise, the size of the Hill corresponds to the variety, quantity and rarity of the treasure within. Sometimes, Hollow Hills have [[Caves]] running through them, allowing for them to be noticed from the surface or discovered while caving.

These are the most common landmark in the Twilight Forest, and they come in three different sizes. The Larger the hill, the more valuable ores and treasures, but also more challenging monsters.
Explorers have found these large dome-shaped hills in three distinct sizes, large enough to be detected and marked on a [[Magic Map]], with an appropriate icon indicating its size. Some hills have been found to have other caves and ravines cutting into them, so those adventurers tunneling beneath the earth may find themselves inside one of these hills in their explorations.


==Small Hills==  
Hollow Hills are an excellent source of ores to be mined and treasures to be looted, with the more valuable loot contained in the larger hills. Unfortunately, it also seems that the larger the hill, the more deadly creatures that live there. Explorers should remember the basic rules of caving, and never tunnel directly down into a Hollow Hill; instead, approach from the side and bring plenty of light sources to illuminate the interior.

Small hills have mostly Coal, Iron, and occasionally Redstone stalactites, as well as a few small Glowstone ones. Monsters include Spiders, Zombies, Skeletons, Silverfish, [[Swarm Spider]]s, [[Redcap Goblin]]s and [[Kobold]]s. There are typically 2 treasure chests, which usually have fairly common items, such as Buckets, [[Ore Magnet]]s or Torches, but may rarely have a Diamond or [[Steeleaf]] or two.

Medium hills are about 60 blocks in diameter, and 25+ blocks tall in the center. The interiors are more open inside, and thus more dangerous. Coal, Iron, Redstone, Gold, and Lapis can be found among the stalactites and rarely you may find some diamonds and emeralds. Up to 6 treasure chests can be nestled among the stalagmites. Monsters include Zombies, Skeletons, Spiders, Creepers, Swarm Spiders, Redcap Goblins, Kobolds, and [[Fire Beetle]]s. Treasures are more valuable and could include [[Ironwood Ingot]]s, as well as unique and rare treasures like [[Transformation Powder]], [[Moonworm Queen]], [[Uncrafting Table]], and the [[Peacock Feather Fan]].

Rising out of the otherwise flat terrain of the Twilight Forest, Hollow Hills are conspicuous mounds of dirt that conceal a vast hollow cave packed with stalactites and stalagmites, some of which are formed with precious ores and minerals. There is also treasure to be found, but dangerous creatures abound in the darkness that can spell the doom of an unwary explorer.

Features

Explorers have found these large dome-shaped hills in three distinct sizes, large enough to be detected and marked on a Magic Map, with an appropriate icon indicating its size. Some hills have been found to have other caves and ravines cutting into them, so those adventurers tunneling beneath the earth may find themselves inside one of these hills in their explorations.

Hollow Hills are an excellent source of ores to be mined and treasures to be looted, with the more valuable loot contained in the larger hills. Unfortunately, it also seems that the larger the hill, the more deadly creatures that live there. Explorers should remember the basic rules of caving, and never tunnel directly down into a Hollow Hill; instead, approach from the side and bring plenty of light sources to illuminate the interior.

Small hills measure approximately 30 metres across and usually contain the basic minerals such as Coal, Iron, with Redstone and Glowstone occasionally being found. Explorers can expect to find a couple of treasure chests containing common tools and items such as food, arrows, ladders and torches, but rarely, a valuable Ore Magnet may be found along with a Diamond and Steeleaf. Swarm Spiders, Redcap Goblins and Kobolds reside in these hills, with other creatures common to the Overworld such as Skeletons as well.

Medium hills are about 60 metres in diameter, and 25+ metres tall in the center. The interior becomes more spacious, but this has also attracted more and deadlier creatures. Gold and Lapis can be found here as well as Diamond and Emerald being seen, albeit rarely. As the value of the ores increase, so do the treasures - up to 6 chests can usually be found in a medium hill containing Ironwood Ingots and Transformation Powder, along with unique artefacts such as a Moonworm Queen, the Peacock Feather Fan and the Uncrafting Table. Fire Beetles and Redcap Sappers live in medium hills, in addition to those seen in small hills.

The largest hollow hills cover an area around 112 metres in diameter, giving them an interior volume of over 175,000 blocks. Every type of ore can be found in these cathedral-like caverns. There are up to 12 treasure chests, containing the most valuable treasures such as Naga Scales and Steeleaf. Naturally, one will find the most dangerous monsters here, including Wraiths, Witches, Slime Beetles, and Pinch Beetles.
