Quarry Mod
by JovialDuck78
Quarry Mod adds a cave-styled dimension for large-scale mining on NeoForge 1.21.8, reached from the overworld as an endless caving area.
What it does
Players who go caving can enter the Quarry Dimension, a generated cave world with no end. It has two biomes: a Stone Biome and a Deepslate Biome. Regular ore spawning is present in both, and emerald and gold ore spawn more often than usual. Mineshafts and amethyst geodes also generate naturally inside the dimension.
The mod is aimed at exploration and mining on long runs, where automation and endless caving can be combined. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for NeoForge only, for the single game version 1.21.8, with 1.0.0 as the latest file from 2025-09-28. The code is released under the MIT License but is not open source.

Use cases
Long mining runs
Long mining runs can use the dimension as an open-ended source of ore, with a large cave area to work through.
Server caving areas
Server owners can give players a shared underground world that resets nothing and keeps generating new cave space.
Who it’s for: Players and server owners on NeoForge 1.21.8 who want a separate underground dimension for mining and cave exploration.
How it compares
Nether Geodes is NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, under a custom license and not open source, and it does not add a dimension. Forever Frost is NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, open source under the GNU General Public License v2.0 or later, and is client and server. Quarry Mod targets the single version 1.21.8 instead.
