Wild Caves 4 is an unofficial 1.12.2 port of Wild Caves 3 and gives some much needed love to vanilla caves, adds stalactites, stalagmites, vines, glowing mushrooms, icicles and there's more to come.
This mod is based on Alexmania's mod which was based on greyjusticar's mod which was based on Dilla's mod, hence version 4.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: This mod is going to stay on 1.12.2, there are no plans for porting from our side!
