Alexscaves adapter

Experimental
Adjusts Alex's Caves world generation so cave systems and related structures can generate correctly in floating-island worlds.

Description

This mod is a compatibility patch for Alex's Caves designed for floating-island worlds such as those used in the Skyland Traveler modpack.

By default, some Alex's Caves generation conditions are too restrictive for sky-island terrain, which can prevent cave systems and related ruins from generating correctly on islands or in underwater cavities.

This mod adjusts the relevant generation checks so that:

  • Alex's Caves cave systems can generate properly in floating-island worlds

  • related structures are more likely to generate on suitable islands instead of invalid terrain

  • underwater cave spaces can still generate correctly where appropriate

Technical Notes

This patch adds a Mixin to BiomeGenerationNoiseCondition.test(...) and expands the effective depth range to [-2.0, 2.0], while leaving the other generation conditions unchanged.

It also includes:

  • a dedicated mixin config

  • a manifest mixin entryan

  • explicit dependency on Alex's Caves

This mod is primarily intended for use with the Skyland Traveler modpack and may not be useful in standard overworld terrain.
