About this project

What does SimpleCaveBiomes add?

SimpleCaveBiomes

A rewrite of CaveBiomeAPI with better mod compatibility.

Only Forge is currently supported. There are no significant mods that use the Fabric version to my knowledge. Please submit an issue if you know of a mod worth porting it to Fabric for.

You can find the original project here: CaveBiomeAPI by blackgear27

Installation

  • Remove CaveBiomeAPI from your mods directory.
  • Install SimpleCaveBiomes in its place.

Mod Compatibility & Limitations

SimpleCaveBiomes fixes the following known incompatibilities with CaveBiomeAPI:

  • Dynamic Trees (no longer crashes)
  • Embeddium (No longer prevents biome colors from working)

It fully works with both mods known to use CaveBiomeAPI:

Unlike CaveBiomeAPI, SimpleCaveBiomes does not add new carvers to attempt to replicate 1.18 cave caverns. Use YUNG's Better Caves or a similar mod instead. They do it better.
