Connected Caves
Connected Caves adds underground villages, a locator sphere for finding the nearest one, and magic pots that new villagers trade for.
What it does
The mod generates villages below ground, which extends exploration into the caves of a world. A magnetic sphere reports how many blocks away the nearest underground village lies, and a first village can be found by using the locator sphere after it spawns. Villages carry loot tied to the caves, and their villagers offer new trades. Installation needs Forge, and the mod runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, with 1.2.0 as the latest file.
