Cave Generator - Advanced Cave Creation System

Cave Generator represents an enhanced modification of Minecraft's standard cave generation algorithm. This mod allows for complete customization of the underground space formation process, providing access to modify almost all generation parameters and adding new capabilities for creating unique cave shapes.

Main Features

Using Cave Generator, you can create diverse underground landscapes by adjusting cave frequency, dimensions, slope angles, and other characteristics. The mod supports cave decoration with water, surface replacement with grass, gravel covering, stalactite and stalagmite placement, and many other decorative elements.

Each cave preset has configurable selection percentage, height range, biome restrictions, and other parameters that help create unique underground spaces that encourage exploration. It's possible to combine multiple presets to create entirely new shapes.

Additional Functions

The mod includes support for features not present in the standard game version: giant ore and stone clusters (spanning multiple chunks), stone layers, specialized stalactite and stalagmite generators, and a completely new noise-based cave generator.

Cave Generator can work alongside other cave generators such as Worley's Caves. To activate this feature, set the "otherGeneratorsEnabled" parameter to true in the configuration file. Note that this may slow down world generation speed.

Example Presets

To simplify configuration, the mod includes 15 example presets. By default, only the standard preset is active. All preset files are located in the /config/cavegenerator/presets/ directory. To activate or deactivate presets, simply change the "enabled" value from false to true or remove the "enabled" line completely (true is used by default). Game restart is not required - presets can be reloaded during gameplay using the "/cave reload" command.

For quick familiarization with demonstration presets, copy files from /config/cavegenerator/example_presets to /config/cavegenerator/presets and use the /cave list command to enable desired presets. Changes will take effect when exploring new chunks. For convenient exploration, it's recommended to use the /cave test command, which switches the player to spectator mode with night vision.
