Subterranean Waters
by kreezxil
Subterranean Waters is a Forge world generation mod that fills underground areas with large partly filled water caves, oceans, lakes and rivers.
What it does
With default settings the mod adds wide, mostly empty spaces about 18 to 26 blocks high, with the water level at 22, so the underground can hold open pools and flooded chambers. Many options are configurable, including how far the world can take on a Nether-like landscape below the surface, and a biome exclusion setting lets server owners leave chosen biomes untouched.
The project is a port of an earlier release, and its default config was changed to generate underground oceans, large lakes and rivers. Players who explore deep underground should prepare for harsh conditions: water breathing and night vision potions, and an air supply for long swims, are useful before going below bedrock level. Subterranean Waters requires Forge and is published for 1.9.4 – 1.12.2, with 1.7.9 for 1.12.2 as the latest file.
Server owners install it, and players can join with or without it. Its code is open source under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Underground oceans
Large oceans generate beneath the surface, adding water areas that the default world does not produce.
Underground lakes and rivers
Lakes and rivers can form underground, with the default config tuned to produce them.
Adjustable cave height
World height and water level for the underground caves can be changed in the config to shape the landscape.
Biome exclusion
A config option excludes chosen biomes from the water generation, so server owners can keep specific areas unchanged.
