Hey guys welcome back to power down minecraft 1.17 was just announced and showed us that the next update will make quite a lot of changes to caves the only downside is that we’re going to be waiting for at least half a year in this list i’m going to show you some Of the awesome mods which will overhaul caves right now and give you some of the same features we saw on the teaser i tested all these mods on minecraft 1.12 using forge and all the links you need can be found in the description below young’s better caves will completely Overhaul the structure of caves in minecraft as you head deeper underground you’ll find that the caves are much larger consisting of huge caverns lava lakes flooded sections and more It takes away most of the thin tunnels that we usually see and makes exploring underground a lot more interesting young who developed better caves has also made a better mineshaft’s mod instead of being small boring tunnels they’re now completely revamped so they have different variations depending on their bio The way the mine shafts are laid out is also changed as they now branch off into other shafts instead of being simple straight lines there are also a few extra additions too such as abandoned stations surface openings and abandoned outposts which contain some useful supplies Cork isn’t focused on caves but it sure does a good job on overhauling them with this mod installed you’ll start to find roots grow out of the walls of caves harvesting these roots will replenish a bit of hunger allowing you to stay underground for longer crevices are another addition which are Similar to a ravine but horizontal instead mega caves are new areas which are extremely rare to find and as you expect are huge some new biomes are also included too which create lush crystal slime and similar cave types to what we saw in the recent announcement sub training waters will add large Bodies of water to caves now you’ll find underground oceans rivers and lakes meaning you’ll actually need to bring some boats with you when you’re heading beneath the surface overall this mod adds quite the challenge and you’ll have to make sure you brew both water breathing and night vision potions But on the plus side having a more exposed area should make finding rare oars a simpler task underground biomes adds many new types of blocks into minecraft these are mostly different variants of stone gravel sand and cobblestone while it doesn’t directly change the mechanics or generation of caves It will change a lot of the blocks making caves a little more unique there are new ore styles too all of these blocks and ores will blend together nicely if you want to stay true to vanilla minecraft then this mod is a good choice To expand on all these cavemods i recommend installing dynamic surroundings this mod will completely change your audible and visual experience in minecraft most of the changes will be noticed above ground but when it comes to being inside caves they feel much more atmospheric with footsteps having All new sound effects there are a few visual changes you might notice in caves too such as steam rising from lava and bubbles from water that’s it for this list some if not most of these mods can work together to completely overhaul your caves if you enjoyed this video let me know And subscribe for more we have similar videos on our channel too which you might enjoy you Video Information

Hey! Here are 5 mods which should help with massively improving Minecraft Caves, mostly when it comes to the generation of them. Some of these mods actually feel similar to what we’ll see in the Minecraft 1.17 Update, with Caves in general being larger and less tunnel-like, with all new biomes. I tested all these mods with Forge on 1.12.2, and a lot of them can be used together. If this video looks laggy in parts, it’s because I stupidly recorded it while having like, 100+ other mods installed!
