Spelunkery

by Silversmith Mods

Spelunkery reworks underground exploration with new cave variations, tool progression and mining strategies that go beyond vanilla cave generation.

What it does

Underground areas gain new cave variations, so mining no longer repeats the same layouts. Tool progression and mining strategies give the digging routine more structure. The mod's content is built around caves and mining, and its author reports testing for compatibility with Create.

Installation needs Fabric API on Fabric and NeoForge builds, and Moonlight Lib on every loader. Spelunkery runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Builds cover 1.19.2 – 1.21.1 across Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and the code is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, making it open source.

Key features

  1. New cave variations

    Caves are generated with added variations, giving underground regions a different layout from vanilla caves.

  2. Tool progression

    Mining tools follow a progression path, so players move through tiers as they dig deeper.

  3. Mining strategies

    Different approaches to digging are supported, changing how players work through a cave system.

  4. Source and wiki

    The source code, an issue tracker and a wiki are published for players and contributors to consult.

What the author says

### Have you ever noticed how repetitive mining can be? Vanilla only has so much variation before it all starts to blend together. However, with Spelunkery your woes are no more! Spelunkery has been extensively tested for compatibility with No Man's Land and Create.
