Retro Caves

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.

Mod loader

Minecraft version

⬇ Download for 1.21.5–26.1 · Data pack⬇ Download for 1.21.5–26.1 · Fabric⬇ Download for 1.21.5–26.1 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.21.5–26.1 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.21.5–26.1 · Quilt
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.

Retro Caves

Do you want that old cave nostalgia? Don't like the weird caves added in 1.18? Well you're in luck, this datapack removes them! There are still the new 1.18 cave biomes and ores, but none of the gigantic, large noise caves from 1.18. This datapack works with the Large Biomes and Amplified Presets as well.

Compatibility Notes:

This is not compatible with anything that changes the terrain, like Tectonic, as noise caves and terrain are defined in the same place. This means that this only intended for the default generation. Additionally, anything that creates its own carver caves will not have those caves removed.

"I wish I could remove all caves, not just change them..."
