⬇ DownloadYUNG’s Law Mod makes players explore caves instead of stripmine. Goes well with some spicy caves. This mod effectively prevents strip mining, encouraging you to explore some juicy caves instead. Two different modes to choose from: Replacement Mode and Ore Deletion Mode. There are also options for dimension whitelisting.

Features:
- Replacement Mode [Default]: Replaces all underground blocks that aren’t close to a cave with obsidian (or block of your choice), effectively preventing strip mining.
- Ore Deletion Mode: Simply removes ores that aren’t near caves, rather than replacing all blocks. The block used for replacement is determined by the biome’s filler block, usually stone. With this mode you can still make cool underground bases. Ore Deletion Mode supports ores from the following mods: Quark Mod, Applied Energistics 2 Mod.
Configs:
This mod is highly configurable. You can change:
- The block used for replacement.
- The distance from caves at which to begin replacing.
- The max altitude.
- And much more.
