As of Minecraft 1.18 (30/11/2018) Cave Biomes has been discontinoued. Consider using a much better world gen datapack like Terralith instead. If anyone really wants to pick up development of this pack, feel free to do so.
Warning: This project generates new caves in existing chunks, and may damage underground structures you have built. It is highly recommended to install in a new world. If you add it to an existing world, take a backup first!
A Minecraft Datapack that adds 34 new cave biomes to improve the look and feel of the underground, including:
- Improved vanilla caves
- Underground Forest Caves
- Obsidian Caves
- Granite, Andesite, and Diroite Caves
- Ice Caves
- Prismarine Caves
- Regular & Red Sandstone Caves
- Terracotta caves of various colors
- Quartz Caves
- And some other special caves, but you'll have to find those on your own ;)
Some caves are dependant on the surface biome (ie. Ice Caves only spawn on cold biomes), so look out for those!
- Download the latest version of CaveBiomes from releases.
- Download the latest version of Datapack Utils from releases.
- Add both datapacks to the datapack folder of your chosen world.
- Enter the world and run /reload.
