So I wanted to try making a mod that revamps the caves, but I have some problems.
1: I can't change vanilla biomes to have custom things.
2: I can't make vertical biomes, so that it has different layers.
Forge currently doesn't support underground biomes (other Forge mods that do this don't actually have different biomes, they just have stuff that generates underground). To get vertical biomes, you'd have to completely rewrite the world generation, which isn't possible with Forge.
If you just want custom materials underground, create your new stone type (or whatever it is), then set its generation to 64 and 64 (both max), and set the biomes you want.
Maybe use structure blocks to simulate this
here is that I did. I made Cavemaker blocks act as ores, that when placed, eat out the land into tons of caves.
