**This datapack is a "vanilla+" cave generation datapack that aims to be faithful to the underground vanilla experience, and is originally inspired by the Minecraft Live 2020 Caves & Cliffs showcase.** <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/dMeyNymeQNo" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe> ## Cave Generation Features <details> <summary>🚣 Cave Lakes</summary> - **large, Minecraft Live 2020 style aquifers** will generate in many areas - larger caves will sometimes support large aquifers to **allow boating to be feasible** - underwater magma has been redistributed to better help underwater exploration especially in more open spaces !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/55yjTUnX/images/01245d32915af2f52d7afbab93d49a58d39187cc.png) !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/55yjTUnX/images/c3f7c4188862c52e3c80f68c276436df8d3bc950.png) </details> <details> <summary>🥞 Pancake Caves</summary> - a type of (https://minecraft.wiki/w/Cave#Cheese_cave) that is much wider than they are tall, and often very smooth in appearance - pancake caves come in many sizes, but can rarely become very massive, spanning past higher render distance ranges - pancake caves, under the right aquifer generation conditions, will sometimes relatively replicate the Minecraft Live 2020 "giant cave lake" boating scenery !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/55yjTUnX/images/27af4f0a956ef50b94cb5f41dcf7f9a443de3753.png) !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/55yjTUnX/images/48723204d27bd53f2de8ca0008543d0e744341bd.png) </details> <details> <summary>🍜 Udon Caves & Cave Rivers</summary> - a type of (https://minecraft.wiki/w/Cave#Spaghetti_cave) that is often much wider than vanilla spaghetti caves, and with very slow elevation change - **udon caves that align with aquifer generation can often create "cave rivers"** !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/55yjTUnX/images/c5da4c28f9d27169548ae1c74a06d3c45bcf8c71.png) </details> <details> <summary>👷 Noodlier Noodles</summary> - in addition to existing (https://minecraft.wiki/w/Cave#Noodle_cave), another group of noodle caves will generate that are slightly roomier, and will sometimes stretch more horizontally !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/55yjTUnX/images/1c53b389af5034d09f51dc8ddd8a01330b21a7f1.png) </details> <details> <summary>🔥 Classic Cave & Ravine Changes</summary> - the classic "(https://minecraft.wiki/w/Cave#Carver_caves)" type caves (pre-1.18) have slightly more unique shapes to them and are a little more prevalent - regular caves can be a little larger, especially in width - **ravines can be a little longer, a little wider, curve a little more, and also generate in deepslate, down to lava level** - this makes them feel more in-line with Minecraft 1.18+ cave generation !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/55yjTUnX/images/ebfe8310e5f14391b4e0b560d3aecceecae956a8.png) !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/55yjTUnX/images/00829da8dc6a4edc09d2974a57a1d610db5fea47.png) </details> <details> <summary>💡 Glow Lichen Redistribution</summary> - glow lichen will generate more often in scattered patches compared to single isolated pieces - this also brings more contrast between spaces that are brighter and others that are darker - glow lichen will generate much more in dripstone caves - this creates an overall 'glow' to the dripstone in some patches, simulating bioluminescent speleothem growth - glow lichen will also generate more in some aquifers !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/55yjTUnX/images/63893a1e56157ff28fd1be1421724e8359a93b24.png) </details> <details> <summary>🌿 Lush Cave Warm Waters</summary> - lush caves use the warm ocean color for any water !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/55yjTUnX/images/1779b1b92902f4623bac35d5f30086b45cd4a650.jpeg) </deta
