No Caves

Tired of caves in Minecraft? This datapack solves exactly that problem — it completely removes them from world generation. At the same time, all other underground elements are preserved: ancient cities, strongholds, mineshafts, amethyst geodes, lava pools, and ore deposits. Specialized versions are also available that remove only specific types of caves — for example, exclusively new or classic ones.

Main Options

No Caves — completely disables the generation of all caves.

No Old Caves — removes only the old caves (carver caves), leaving the new ones added in update 1.18+ (noise caves).

No New Caves — removes caves from update 1.18+, preserving classic carver caves.

Compatibility

For correct operation with other datapacks, No Caves must be at the very top of the load list. Compatibility with mods depends on their implementation of cave generation — in some cases it is provided automatically, in others manual configuration is required. Plans include adding support for popular mods such as Tectonic and Terralith.

The datapacks are compatible with the "Large Biomes" and "Amplified" presets.
