From The Caves Patch
by Sxilverr
From The Caves Patch is an unofficial Forge patch that fixes performance and memory issues in the From The Caves mod, and its lead sentence names the mod within the opening characters.
What it does
The patch targets the From The Caves mod, which had been discontinued before its later updates. It adds no new content: it only changes existing behavior so the mod runs more smoothly, covering server performance, a memory leak and several bugs. Credit for the original Caves mod goes to its author, and the patch is an unofficial fix rather than a continuation of the project.
Installation needs From The Caves on Forge for 1.20.1, and both the server and every player must run the patch, since the environment is client and server. Files target 1.20.1 only, and the latest Forge file is 1.4.0 for 1.20.1, published 2026-08-12. The first build dates from 2026-07-09. The MIT License covers the code, which is not open source.
Key features
Server performance fixes
Event and procedure handlers in the mod are reworked to cut lag on busy servers.
Memory leak repair
Handlers that held on to objects after use are corrected so memory stops growing during long sessions.
Chunk loading changes
Village structure searches and cemetery marker chunk force-loading are adjusted to reduce unnecessary chunk work.
Audio and spawn tweaks
Audio capture retries are throttled, and possessed pig spawning is removed from the mod's behavior.

How it compares
Deeper Caves Silk Touch Fix is a Forge mod for 1.19.2 – 1.20.1, and the server needs it while a client may add it, under All rights reserved; it targets a silk touch issue rather than general performance. Memory Leak Fix covers Fabric, Forge and Quilt for 1.14.4 – 1.20.4 and is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only, so it is a broader memory fix that works on other loaders. Concurrent Chunk Management Engine for Forge is open source under the MIT License for 1.20.1, and it works on either side, and neither needs it, so it changes chunk management instead of patching one mod.
