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 1.20.5–1.21.4 · Data pack⬇ Download for 1.20.4 · Data pack⬇ Download for 1.20.5–1.21.4 · Fabric⬇ Download for 1.20.3–1.20.4 · Fabric⬇ Download for 1.20.5–1.21.4 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.20.4 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.20.5–1.21.4 · Quilt⬇ Download for 1.20.4 · Quilt⬇ Download for 1.20.5–1.21.4 · NeoForge
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.

Lush Caves

This datapack adds some extra, much needed features to lush caves. Spore blossom particles will now spawn in the air of the biome, regardless of whether or not there are spore blossoms nearby. Coal ore can be found below y=0. Rooted dirt and grass blocks now generate underground in patches. flowers generate on top of grass blocks. Lily pads can be found on the surface of water. Bee nests and bees can be found in the caves. Glow lichen spawns on top of moss, so there are less mobs in lush caves.

Lush Aquifers

Aquifers in vanilla lush caves have no decoration blocks. Now, lush aquifers have moss, clay, tall and small dripleafs, sand, glow lichen, and seagrass.

Azalea Trees

Azalea trees generate frequently when a lush cave is open to the sky. Rooted azaleas can only spawn on dirt-like blocks, so no more random azalea trees in a desert.

Moss Blocks

Bonemealing moss now has a chance to spawn glow lichen. Spore blossoms and cave vines will be created if there is air under the moss.
