THIS MOD REQUIRES GECKOLIB!!
(GeckoLib should be downloaded instantly when downloading this mod, if that's not the case please notify me and download GeckoLib using the link above)
If there are any issues like Minecraft saying you need a newer version of GeckoLib or the forge loader you will just need to create a profile using the required forge loader and manually install the correct version of GeckoLib.
IF THE ANIMATIONS ARE NOT WORKING WHEN USING SHADERS PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE FOLLOWING MOD!!! Oculus & GeckoLib Compat mod.
COPYRIGHT:
This mod is a combination of other mods that make the cave dweller a lot scarier and better. The combined mods are:
- Enhanced cave noise made by Schpalrbo
- Cave dweller evolved made by SiverDX
- and a resource pack named cave dweller sound overhaul made by Scorchy.
## I have permissions from all of the creators of the original mods, screenshots of approvement are at the images tab.
This also means that I myself am not an experienced coder, however I'll try to help the best I can with issues.
