Worley's Caves Reforged

By
Sxilverr

A modern port of superfluke's Worley noise cave generation.

Description

A modern fork of Worley's Caves by SuperFluke and booleanbyte.

Replaces vanilla cave generation with Worley (cellular) noise.

Fabric additionally requires Fabric API.

Configuration

Loader	File
Forge / NeoForge	`config/worleycaves-common.toml`
Fabric	`config/worleycaves.json`

All values require a world restart to take effect.

Option	Default	Meaning
`lavaDepth`	`-54`	Air at or below this Y becomes `lavaBlock`
`easeInDepth`	`15`	Caves thin out within this many blocks of the surface
`lavaBlock`	`minecraft:lava`	Block used for the deep lava layer
`maxCaveHeight`	`128`	Caves never generate above this Y
`minCaveHeight`	`-56`	Caves never generate below this Y
`noiseCutoffValue`	`-0.18`	Cave size. Smaller means larger caves
`surfaceCutoffValue`	`-0.081`	Cave size at the surface. Smaller means more surface openings
`verticalCompressionMultiplier`	`2.0`	Squishes caves on Y. Lower means taller caves
`horizonalCompressionMultiplier`	`1.0`	Stretches (<1) or compresses (>1) caves on X/Z
`warpAmplifier`	`8.0`	Cave warping. Lower means straighter tunnels

lavaDepth and minCaveHeight default to the deepslate layer rather than the original's 10/1, since the modern world floor is Y=-64.

Making modded stone carvable

The carver digs through vanilla stone, dirt, sand, gravel, terracotta and the usual overworld surface blocks, plus anything in #forge:stone / #c:stone. To add more, define the block tag #worleycaves:carvable in a datapack.

Cave shape is unchanged. The noise sampling and interpolation are exactly the same.
