How the biomes spawn
In Cave Biomes, the overworld is split into 2 layers, with layer 1 being from any cave above or at y29, and layer 2 being caves from y28 to y0. Cave biomes in layer 1 mimic the overworld biome above them. For example, caves in jungles are filled with vines, and caves in deserts have patches of sand. Layer 2 cave biomes on the other hand, do not follow existing overworld biomes and instead are their own, unique biomes.
Biome List

- Icy cave (Snowy taiga, Snowy Tundra, Snowy Beach)

Mod compatibility
This mod is compatible with Yung's better caves! You'll need to set the "generateLocalWaterLevels" in cave biomes' config to false to prevent weird water generation, however.
Forge pls???
No.
This mod isn't functional on 1.17.1.
Issues:
Cobwebs generating where they aren't supposed to be, even in some cases replacing bedrock
Dirt replacing blocks in mineshafts and other structures, even modded ones
Blocks disappear in More Geodes geodes
Vines generating outside their respective caves
Does not work well with Mojang's Preview Datapack or any other 1.18 generation mods, as biomes will generate submerged in aquifers
Ore generation is much less frequent
this is the best biome and cave mod to ever exist
Is there plans for 1.18? I have a server with this mod and I just want to know if it is going to be update. I know it just came out but, only if there are plans.
Is this mod compatible with YUNG's Better Mineshafts and/or YUNG's Better Dungeons

In reply to degostorm:
yes
would it be possible for you to make this mod on forge just for 1.15? i know you said no forge in the description but every version later than that can run fabric
In reply to Felix_Marsh:
no
In reply to Astral_Aegis:
Clear as the sun in 12 noon hahaha
is there any plans for 1.17.1?
.
In reply to MaxDeMan1:
You have to edit the config file itself, you cannot change it in game currently
is this compatible with Terra?
Hey, is there any "expected" behavior when using the 1.18 datapack that enables the 1.18 world gen ( things like lush caves and negative Y )
In reply to void_sakamoto:
I second this
In reply to Tilk_the_wolf:
I third this
In reply to Slimation:
I fourth this
Would it be possible now that the mods on 1.17 to make biomes that naturally spawn 1.17 items like moss and glowberries
In reply to HarlowHero:
Lush caves and dripstone caves are already added...
In reply to DUDEbehindDUDE:
you need a datapack,
In reply to SweepSwap:
if you load up the 1.17 version of this mod by itself, no other mods (except fabric api ofc), no other datapacks, you will find lush caves and dripstone caves generating occasionally. You don't need the 1.18 datapack for this as these blocks are already in vanilla minecraft.
