This mod overhauled vanilla caves, adding brand new caves and structures for players to explore, such as underground lakes and rivers, lava oceans, and more.
The feature of this mod lies in the variety of cave types, which include not only the vanilla tunnel-shaped caves but also large spherical caves. Some areas are flooded with water, while others are filled with lava. Additionally, these features are configurable. These variations make your cave exploration much more exciting.
