Mineshafts do not spawn in Ice Caves. They spawn in other cave biomes, including Lush Caves, Dripstone Caves, and Sulfur Caves. They can overlap with one, but they do not specifically generate in Ice Caves.
Steps to reproduce
Create a single biome world of Ice Caves.
Run “/locate structure #minecraft:mineshaft”.
Create another single biome world of Lush Caves.
Run “/locate structure #minecraft:mineshaft”.
Observed results
The first command fails to return a set of coordinates, while the second command successfully returns one.
Expected results
Both commands return a set of coordinates leading to a mineshaft.
