What's new

Initial Release — 0.1.0.8

Initial release of YUNG’s Better Caves Legacy for Minecraft 1.6.4, 1.7.10, 1.8.9, and 1.12.2.

  • Backported the 1.16.5-era Better Caves generation system to all four versions.
  • Added expansive cave networks, massive caverns, and multiple underground generation styles.
  • Added surface-connected tunnels, flooded caves, and liquid-filled regions.
  • Improved terrain carving, coastline handling, and bedrock protection.
  • Preserved vanilla ravines and fallback generation for disabled or unsupported dimensions.
  • Added configurable cave generation and dimension settings.
  • Integrated directly with each version's native Forge world generation.
  • No separate YUNG’s API installation required.

Note: The 1.12.2 port uses the newer 1.16.5-era generation system rather than the original 1.12.2 implementation. Changes only affect newly generated terrain.
