About Caves & Canyons

From Modrinth

Save your surface, find your underground adventure!

> Configurable modern and legacy caves and canyons, keeping the surface intact and the underground full of adventure.

Release Highlights

  • Added a modern-cave master toggle plus safe multiplier and offset controls for surface entrances, noodle caves, and 2D spaghetti caves.
  • Tuned canyons to be longer, broader, gently wandering, continuously carved, and naturally tapered while removing ravine aquifer-bowl remnants.
  • Kept both legacy cave carvers disabled by default and independently configurable.
  • Enabled tracked, aged-stone spiral access with timber supports for eligible dry land mineshafts.
  • Kept Underground World (Experimental) disabled by default; it can create a broad, open deep space that may feel nearly unbounded.
  • Configuration changes affect newly generated chunks only; existing chunks are not rebuilt.
Legacy Description

This is originally for modpack AnimateCraft: Lankeren. If you like this content, I'm sure you'll like that modpack, too. Welcome to check it out!


Already tired of those holes and gaps ruining the surface? Now you’ll no longer be upset.

  • Canyons are now rift valleys, rather than the stupid little gaps lying on the ground. They are longer, wider, and deeper, deep down to y:-20! Providing you a fast way to travel between different levels.

Meanwhile, they are now pretty rare, making every encounter of yours impressive and rewarding. Get on the trip to find them!

  • The caves will not mess with the surface that much now, as the entrances are narrower. The deeper you go, the bigger caves will be.

Enjoy your vacations on the ground and the adventures underground!
