Simply Cave Biomes
Simply Cave Biomes adds four new underground biomes to the Overworld, each with its own stone, ore and decorative blocks, for players who want caves with a distinct look.
What it does
Caves generated by the mod are found in different parts of the Overworld, and each one contains blocks not present in vanilla caves. Auroral Caves lie beneath snowy biomes, with veins of Crossite, Heterosite and Variscite that give the cave a faintly northern appearance, and ambient chimes can be heard across the whole biome. Galena Caves sit in drier areas and hold large lead deposits with veins of Galena and Minium. Jadeite Caves are shaped by snaking Jadeite and Diorite, with occasional patches of Cave Blooms. Redstone Mines form inland, below the mountains and close to the deepest layers of the world.
The mod requires EbonyLib, and its files are published for Forge and NeoForge across eight release versions, spanning 1.20.1 – 26.3. Only the Forge file for 1.20.1 and the NeoForge file for 26.3 are listed as latest. Both client and server need the mod, so it has to be installed on each side of a multiplayer game. The code and assets are covered by All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
Key features
Four cave biomes
Auroral Caves, Galena Caves, Jadeite Caves and Redstone Mines each generate as a separate underground biome with its own palette.
Biome-specific blocks
Dark blue, purple and mint green stones appear in Auroral Caves, a red lead ore and a rare black stone in Galena Caves, and brown stone in Redstone Mines.
Redstone variants
A redstone block lights up and emits a short pulse when powered, and a rarer variant occasionally emits the same pulse.
Pointed stone blocks
Pointed Stone and Pointed Deepslate are two common underground blocks, and they help grow more stone and deepslate in the biome.
