Cave Dweller Reborn
Cave Dweller Reborn adds a hostile creature that digs through deepslate caves below Y 0, and players who enter those caves meet it.
What it does
The creature lives in deepslate caves under Y 0. It attacks players that look at it, digs its own way through stone and destroys blocks that stand in its path. Players can harm it only once they are below Y 50, because above that height it cannot be killed. Pressing the V key opens a scream setting, and the creature answers that scream by coming to help a trapped player. The mod covers ten events, and a music disc drops after the creature is defeated. Balance-wise the creature drops its shield in hand when it deals more damage, which matters against players in armor.
Installation needs GeckoLib on the same side as the mod. Cave Dweller Reborn runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, with 1.0.5 as the latest file from 2025-08-03, under All rights reserved, and the mod is not open source.
