Description
Rich Caves
📖 Introduction
The addon modifies vanilla ore generation through custom Feature Rules and Ore Features, making resources more abundant and introducing different generation distributions for various ores.
Explore deeper caves, mine through mountains, search underground deposits, and discover valuable resources more frequently.
✨ Features
1. Overworld Ore Generation
Rich Caves modifies the generation of the following ores:
- Coal Ore
- Copper Ore
- Iron Ore
- Gold Ore
- Redstone Ore
- Lapis Lazuli Ore
- Diamond Ore
- Emerald Ore
Both regular stone ores and their deepslate variants are supported where applicable.
2. Nether Ore Generation
The Nether receives additional resource generation:
- Ancient Debris
- Nether Gold Ore
- Nether Quartz Ore
Ancient Debris receives two separate generation configurations to distribute it across different underground heights.
3. Buried Ore Generation
Some valuable resources have additional generation configurations designed to favor underground deposits.
These include:
- Buried Diamond Ore
- Buried Lapis Lazuli Ore
Both configurations use a 100% discard chance when exposed to air, making their generation specifically favor fully buried deposits.

- Emerald Ore: Extreme Hills and Mountain biomes.
- Gold Ore (Badlands): Mesa / Badlands biome.
- Other Overworld ores: Overworld biome tag.
- Nether resources: Nether biome tag.
⚙️ Generation Configuration
Rich Caves uses custom Minecraft Feature Rules to control ore placement.
Generation configuration includes:
- Separate distribution rules for different ore types.
- Multiple height distributions for selected ores.
- Custom generation iteration values.
- Ore replacement rules for stone, deepslate, tuff, and other applicable blocks.
- Different air-exposure discard probabilities.

Nether Gold Ore uses a configured count of 32.
These are feature configuration values, not guaranteed ore quantities in every chunk.
