Better Than Caves [BTC] - Forge

IF PLAYING WITH SHADERS, BE SURE TO DISABLE THEM BEFORE ENTERING THE NEW EVERBRIGHT & EVERDAWN DIMENSIONS.

Minecraft feels different now. Ever since the Caves & Cliffs update, the game feels like it is at a much larger scale than the Minecraft I remember. The increased world height and depth make what was once a simple world feel enormous and limitless, increasing lag spikes while generating chunks. In many ways, these changes have been for the better, but at the cost of performance, familiarity, etc., I felt like an alternative was needed. That's why I created BTC: shorthand for Better Than Caves & Cliffs. BTC contains the necessary performance and QoL features to compete with vanilla, as well as backporting or reinterpreting a number of modern features. Along with these additions comes a collection of new vanilla-styled content including new village variants like swamp and jungle, the end update, and new dimensions. This modpack is not afraid to be bold, however, with features like new complex boss mobs or furniture items. BTC isn't afraid to step outside the vanilla+ mold. Rethinking what Minecraft could be and providing an experience vanilla can not provide, you will find yourself excited to play your BTC worlds again when vanilla's feel like they have nothing left to offer.

This pack contains:

✅ Caves & Cliffs-style cave generation using the classic 1.16.5 world depth and ore generation. Includes Lush Caves, Dripstone Caves, and 3 other cave biomes!

✅ Backports or reimaginations of beloved modern vanilla features, such as most of the Caves & Cliffs update's content, bamboo wood type, hanging signs, cherry trees, wolf variants and armor, and even the happy ghast!

✅ Fantastic performance on all hardware despite its 180+ mods!

✅ Free local multiplayer from the ESSENTIAL Mod, no servers required! (Warning: this makes your IP visible to friends you invite to your world. Only do this with people you trust!)

✅ New and beautiful biomes in the Overworld, Nether, and End!

✅ New, exciting structures to conquer, explore, and loot!

✅ Two brand-new dimensions, the Everbright and Everdawn!
