Cave Generator

Cave Generator 1.3 (1.16)

This build finally brings full compatibility to Minecraft 1.16, including

• Full CatLib integration
• Fancy, graphical analysis for preset errors
• Support for TerraForged
• Multi Generators for all noise types
• Supports all features from the 1.12 version, even dimension support.

Additionally, all of the bugs from the 1.2 beta have been fixed.

• Fixed caves generating in all dimensions (now configurable).
• Fixed compatibility with TerraForge and Cave Biomes API.
• Fixed a whole bunch of errors with the default cat preset.
• Fixed a handful of issues with the default commands (from CatLib).
• Fixed a few issues with the biome predicates (from CatLib).
• Fixed air blocks in default structures

Detailed Preset Analysis

Invalid settings, syntax errors, missing structures, unused fields, and other errors will now generate detailed reports in the CatLib error menu. This replaces the original PresetTester from past versions.

Multi Noise Generators

The multi noise type introduces a recursive noise data structure. This allows you to arbitrarily combine multiple noise generators to form complex noise outputs for all of your features.

For example,

  map: {
    type: multi
    multi: sum
    references: [
      {
        type: simplex
        frequency: 0.002
        range: [ -6, 10 ]
      }
      {
        type: perlin
        frequency: 0.05
        range: [ -2, 2 ]
      }
    ]
  }

Moving Forward

You should be aware that Cave Generator 1.3 will most likely be the last ever non bugfix release. If these features sound exciting to you and you'd like to see more in the future, you should stay tuned for my next mod, codenamed "Project World." This mod will completely replace Cave Generator, allowing full control over all feature registries and various other biome attributes and generation behaviors. It will use a recursive, modular data structure for all of its configs and is expected to be extremely powerful.
