What exactly does CaveBiomeAPI let me do?

It gives modders the ability to create custom biomes that spawn underground. You can make caves with different block types, features, and even decorations. Instead of vanilla caves being the same everywhere, you get actual variety.

Do I need both Forge and Fabric to use this mod?

No, pick one or the other. Forge and Fabric are different mod loaders that don't work together. Choose whichever one you prefer and download the matching version of CaveBiomeAPI.

Will CaveBiomeAPI work with other cave mods?

CaveBiomeAPI is an API designed for modders. It should work fine alongside other mods unless they heavily modify cave generation. Check individual mod descriptions for any known conflicts.

What if I'm using a version newer than 1.17.1?

CaveBiomeAPI only has downloads for 1.15.2, 1.16.5, and 1.17.1. Check the mod author's page for newer versions or see if a newer version of the mod exists elsewhere.

Do I need Forge or Fabric API installed separately?

Yes. Install your chosen mod loader first, then put the CaveBiomeAPI file in your mods folder. For Fabric, you also need Fabric API installed. Check the installation guides above.

CaveBiomeAPI Mod

Underground caves in Minecraft can get pretty boring. They’re just stone and ore veins as far as the eye can see. CaveBiomeAPI changes that. It lets modders add real underground biomes so your caves actually have personality and stuff worth exploring.

What CaveBiomeAPI Does

This mod gives modders the tools to create custom cave biomes. Instead of caves looking the same everywhere, you can have Dripstone Caves next to Lush Caves. Trees like Azaleas can spawn in unexpected spots. The whole underground gets more interesting. Plus it works with official Minecraft datapacks.
