INFORMATION

Dangerous Caves is the gameplay-addition plugin for bukkit servers. Plugin contains many new special mobs with its own characteristics. Also DC adds a bunch of interesting gameplay features, such as cave ins, depth hypoxia and more.
It's not just a fix for latest versions. DC2 is a fork of DC which provides significant optimizations to the original plugin. Actually plugin was almost fully re-coded from scratch.
Also many thing are configurable now - not just chances to spawn as it was before.

Project is not discontinued - experimental 1.17.1 support is available in dev-builds! It's still in development and bugs are expected.

FEATURES

Caves Aging
Caves that are inhabited for a long time grow vines, stalagmites, and generate pebbles to make caves look more cavey and run down.
It doesn't require you world reset. Just... wait...

Cave-Ins
When very, very low underground you should bring a rabbit foot with you to avoid cave-ins from happening. Once a cave-in happens, the cave around you collapses with a deafening blast while blinding you in the process.

Depth Hypoxia
When caving, there's not so much air to breath, and items in your backpack are felt heavier. Because of that, when low underground, your character will complain and you'll fatigue every now and then.
[IMG]

Ambient Sounds
Sometimes while exploring a cave a creepy song will play or you'll hear strange sounds. A few examples would be water dropping, someone saying "oh" softly, or a spooky music disc playing lowly.
picture of sound, huh?

Custom Structures
Tiny little structures that spawn throughout caves to make exploring more interesting. Chests that can spawn in these structures contain items that you need to survive, so living only in a cave is now possible without traveling to the surface. There are currently 36 different structures, so finding two of the same is decently difficult to do.

Special Mobs
Caves can be scary, so in order to make them as scary as possible plugin devs added some spooky mobs. For now there's 12 new monsters.

Alpha Spiders are the kings of the spider nation. They can poison you on attack, web you, and even summon minions to help attack. They are very dangerous in small spaces due to the fact that they can web you stuck if you are not careful.

Hungering Darknesses are invisible entities that kill you if they find you in a place with zero light. If you are being targeted by the hungering darkness, you will hear a strange static sound coming towards you.
The way to get rid or kill them is by light so make sure you have a lot of torches.
[IMG]

Smoke Demons are the souls of many miners who have died in gas leaks. Due to their unrest, they hunt you down in the form of a shapeless cloud of poisonous gas. However, bright lights can kill them just like the hungering darkness.

Just when creepers couldn't get any worse, now
