Cleaner Caves

by TheKingOfNerds

Cleaner Caves changes cave generation so that stone variant blobs are no longer placed inside caves, while ores stay where they are.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalGNU General Public License v3.0 only1.21.5 – 26.3

What it does

The mod removes stone variant blobs such as granite, diorite and andesite from cave generation, leaving ore placement unchanged. Caves are left with plainer stone walls, and the mod is aimed at world generation rather than new blocks or items. The server must run the mod for the change to apply, while players may add it without any effect. The code is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the project is not open source. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with builds covering 1.21.5 – 26.3.

Key features

  1. Stone variant removal

    Granite, diorite and andesite blobs are kept out of generated caves, so cave walls use plainer stone.

  2. Ores left unaffected

    Ore generation is not changed, so ore distribution in caves matches what the world would otherwise produce.

  3. Data pack option

    The mod is also available as a data pack for servers that cannot install mods.

What the author says

Similar packs, such as this one (which does not remove dirt blobs), have been made in the past. I have come across that pack, and decided it would be different enough to not be a direct copy. Please support other creators who had the idea first.
