About [Discontinued] Dangerous Caves

From SpigotMC

Makes caves more interesting by adding new mechanics and content.

This plugin has been discontinued, but you can find a newer version here that is being updated:

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/dangerous-caves-2-make-your-caves-scary-1-12-2-1-15-2.76212/

There is also another version that someone else is making whose discord is here:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 1.12 version is the 10.6 and below, everything above 10.6 is 1.14.

What the Plugin Does:
Adds more mechanics to caves in order to make caving a more interesting but challenging experience. Also pimps out caves over time and adds ambient sounds while underground.

Plugin Features:

Cave Growth -
Caves that are inhabited for a long time grow vines, stalagmites, and generate pebbles to make caves look more cavey and run down.

Hungering Darkness -
The hungering darkness 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.

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.

Cave Temperature -
When caving, the lava in caves brings the temperature to at least 200,000 C (trust me i'm a scientist). Because of this, when low underground your character will complain and you'll fatigue every now and then.

To avoid this from happening, bring either a water bucket, potion, ice, snow, or etc.

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.

Custom Cave Monsters -
Caves can be scary, so in order to make them as scary as possible I added scarier mobs.

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.

<button type="button" class="button bbCodeSpoilerButton ToggleTrigger Tooltip JsOnly" data-target="> .SpoilerTarget">Spoiler: Smoke Demon</button>
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.

<button type="button" class="button bbCodeSpoilerButton ToggleTrigger Tooltip JsOnly" data-target="> .SpoilerTarget">Spoiler: Lava Creeper</button>
Just when creepers couldn't get any worse, now some that spawn in caves blow up into fire, lava, obsidian, and magma. Bring a water bucket and watch your back if you want to live.

Lava Creeper Aftermath:

Lava Creepers shoot lava particles out of their head so that you know which type is which.
