About this project

What does Subsurface add?

Alt text

Subsurface adds 11 new cave biomes to the overworld and nether. Subsurface cave biomes can generate inside of other vanilla cave biomes, creating hybrid cave biomes, and are compatible with almost all other datapacks/mods.

Cave Biomes

Icicle Caves

Icicle caves can spawn under snowy non-mountain biomes. They contain Icicles on the celling and the floor, and ice patches, which have blue ice if they replace deepslate. Aquifers in this cave biome are frozen over. Be careful when placing torches, as they could melt the ice and wash the torches away.

Sand Caves

Sand caves can spawn under the desert biome. They contain sand and sandstone patches. Some of the sand spawns floating, so be careful not to cause a cave-in.

Swamp Caves

Swamp caves can spawn under the swamp and mangrove swamp biomes. They contain mushrooms, dead bushes, vines, and patches of clay, mud, water and various dripleafs. Aquifers in this cave biome have lily pads and seagrass patches.

Underground Forest

Underground forests can spawn under biomes that generate oak trees. The ground here is covered in grass, and they contain mushrooms, vines, patches of coarse dirt, and oak trees. glow lichen spawns on the leaves

Coral Caves

Fungal Caves
