Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Found some seeds that are supposed to generate sinkholes down to the bottom of the world but instead on 1.19.3+ you got disappointed by the very deep lakes in place of the sinkhole? Or don't want to generate them in 1.19.2 and upgrade the world to your desired version? Then this mod is for you!

This very simple mod reverts the "sinkhole" bug fix that Mojang silently introduced in version 1.19.3, whereby aquifers no longer generate from world bottom to sea level at places with extremely negative weirdness or peaks/valleys noise values.

Note: Changes by loading/unloading this mod will take effect on all newly generated chunks, since this mod alters vanilla aquifer worldgen code directly without any data packs involved.
