Ready to play, no configuration needed

Cave Overhaul Provides brand new caves without requiring any configuration. Just place the mod in your mod folder and you're set. Optional Mod Menu + Cloth Config support is available for those who want to tinker with the mod's noise cave generation.

Optimized for gameplay first, aesthetics second

These new caves are designed to foster an engaging caving experience. Set sail through underground rivers that cascade into waterfalls—sometimes straight into lava. Get lost in Cave Overhaul's 'labyrinthine' caves, which are designed to get you turned around. As you wander, you'll encounter everything from claustrophobic tunnels to large, expansive caverns.

Lightning Fast Generation

They're fast, too - clocking in at a screaming low 5 second difference between Cave Overhaul and Minecraft's native caves when making a new world. Cave Overhaul achieves this by replacing Minecraft's underlying noise caves with its own implementation, leveraging all the performance optimizations Mojang designed for their noise-based system. This contrasts with the traditional, slower method of using carvers to generate caves.

Minecraft's underground is now more dynamic than ever

These aren't your standard noise caverns. They use domain warping—a technique that modifies the nature of regular noise to achieve new and wacky effects. As you dive deeper, the terrain gets progressively weirder. The effect isn't overkill yet, but that might change in future updates.

Every cave is a new experience

...and more experiences are on the way. The goal of this mod is to ensure no two caving adventures are the same. Stay tuned to see what's in store and how I plan to make your cave adventures even more chaotic!
