Just-In CAVE
by justinoway
Just-In CAVE adds a cave-focused tool, a torch bag, new ore fragments and alloys to the world under the surface.
What it does
The mod changes how caves are explored and mined. A hammer breaks a 3 by 3 area of blocks at once, and a Torch Bag lets players store torches and place them without reopening the inventory. New granite and chromium fragments can be combined with gold and iron into rose gold and steel alloys. The Just-In OCEAN companion adds a water spirit hammer, and soul fire can be used on a minecart to summon a creature. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, across seven game versions 1.20.1 – 1.21.6, and the latest builds are 1.0.0 for 1.20.1 on Forge and 1.0.0 for 1.21.6 on NeoForge. Servers do not need it; each player installs it for their own game.
