COPYRIGHT:

This mod is a combination of other mods that make the cave dweller a lot scarier and better.
The combined mods are:

  • Enhanced cave noise made by Schpalrbo
  • Cave dweller evolved made by SiverDX

and a resource pack named cave dweller sound overhaul made by Scorchy.

I have permissions from all of the creators of the original mods, screenshots of approvement are at the images tab.

This also means that I myself am not an experienced coder, however I'll try to help the best I can with issues.

In case you want to download the resource pack that is already implemented in the mod
