Click here to find out how I made the cave biomes in this mod. Just as a warning, I'm not great at explaining things, so this might just leave you confused.

Snapshots can be found on curseforge

This aims to improve minecraft cave generation through the addition of a few new structures, 6 new ore, and 13 new underground cave biomes, many of which can be combined to form combo caves which can bring the count to above 30 caves.

Current Biomes:
Fungal Cave
Luma Cave
Darkstone Cave
Mossy Cave
Icy Cave
Magma Cave
Crystal Cave
Jungle Cave
Granite Cave
Diorite Cave
Andesite Cave
Sandstone Cave
Prismarine Cave
Mycelium Cave

Different caves can be found at different y levels and some can be found in different biomes.

While making this mod I watched videos featuring ideas for a minecraft cave update. Some ideas have been borrowed from those videos. You will be able to find most of them just by searching up "Cave mod ideas" on youtube

Oh Cool!
For my mod I was wanting to create interested caves for my custom dimension, so this will help a lot :D

So, you are the best ! I love your tutorial but i think you can't do this into custom dimension :D

Okay update ! I'm so sorry ! You can do this into a dimension !

Very well made and detailed mod.
Deserves MOTW :)

Textures are great, and you tried to make new interesting things. Congratulations for the MOTW!

Yo!! Congrats on MoTW, this actually looks like a really thrilling mod! I gotta check it out in my spare time!!

Congratulations for winning Mod of the Week :D
The mod is just great, the only problem I had was that the stalactites/stalagmites can get in your way a lot when exploring the caves, perhaps allow mobs to pass-through :)

Your mod was also promoted on our official subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/MCreator/) and Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/MCreatorModMaker/).

Yeah, I do agree. Sometimes they're too common, and can get in the way. I couldn't really find a good balance on how common to make them, because sometimes they would flood a cave, sometimes they would barely show up.

How have u made stalactites/stalagmites generate like the pictures show? I always wanted to know how can I make something to spawn in caves like this.

I'll show how I customized the minecraft caves after I get the mod out of beta.

It did use a lot of custom procedures, however

Ok, thanks

Cool mod

Hey! I featured this mod in my Mcreator MOTW showcase video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6GwIgi-7Do

There are surprisingly few cave biome mods tho, so if you haven't considered doing it yet I'd like to suggest uploading to forge, it's really good, certainly deserves to be there and will likely gain much more traction

I'll definitely upload it there when its out of beta, but for now its gonna just stay here.
