CoC garnish

Welcome to Caves of Cobalt! This mod brings life to Minecraft's caves with new decorative blocks, food, weapons, mobs, biomes, random structures, and, of course, ores.

Caves of Cobalt shakes up the Minecraft formula with several new tool and armor sets available throughout the game, from when you mine your first iron to diamonds and beyond!

Gear up and fight tons mobs custom-coded in Java for a truly unique experience, or trade with a new custom race of NPCs that live in sprawling, randomly generated underground dwellings brimming with goodies ripe for the pillaging! They don't seem to mind, but stay on your toes for secrets...

There are also dangerous new biomes for brave conquerors to find. vicious mobs await you there, but so do powerful riches!

 

Enjoy this passion project of mine! I've been working on it for nearly two years, and I'm very excited/relieved to finally publish this.

 

This mod is fully JEI (Just Enough Items) compatible, including the 2 new custom crafting stations. I strongly advise that you use it to look up recipes for the best experience.

This is also my first project using Java programming, so expect some incompatibilities or performance stutters (especially when rapidly loading chunks). Optifine helps with this problem quite a lot, so I would also recommend using that as well.


The Wiki is now in a stable state. Though keep in mind that the Blocks section is still under construction.

Try it out for yourself!

Hey, I noticed that there are custom crafting integrations with JEI in this mod, and I was wondering if you could give me a link to a tutorial on how to do that or just how you did it yourself. Thanks!

I kinda doubt author will explain it, since it needs a bit more trickery than it can be written on single comment. I'd suggest you looking at JEI wiki for this, though: https://github.com/mezz/JustEnoughItems/wiki/Creating-Plugins-%5B1.13-and-Up%5D It isn't easy to understand for non-coder, I assume, but it can be helpful in a way.

WOOW THIS IS THE 2 BEST MOD IV SEEEN

this looks amazing! Can't wait for the 1.16 update! When do you think it will be ready?

I hope to have the new update I'm working on released by June at the absolute latest. After that, I will immediately begin porting my mod to 1.16. It will take a lot longer than most other MCreator mods because my mod is about 1/3 custom code, which cannot be automatically updated by MCreator itself.
