Worlium replaces all vanilla cave generators with a Worley-noise-based carver modeled on the classic Worley’s Caves mod by fluke. The Worlium carver produces sprawling, winding, interconnected tunnels. From a gameplay perspective, the underground becomes a massive, labyrinth-like cave system that feels both claustrophobic and expansive.<\/p>\n
The mod ships for both Fabric and NeoForge through a shared common module that implements the carver as a custom `DensityFunction` (`worlium:worley_caves`). Under the hood, the density function samples a seeded 3D Worley F1\/F3-edge cellular noise warped by a 2D Perlin displacement field, applies a depth-scaled warp amplitude so caves become more chaotic closer to bedrock, and eases the cutoff back toward solid near the surface.<\/p>\n
## Features
\n– replaces all vanilla caves with a Worley noise-based carver
\n– custom aquifer logic (prevents caves from being flooded with water)
\n– first-class support for Moderner Beta’s world preset
\n– increased diamond rarity
\n– removal of diorite, andesite, and granite blobs
\n– large lava lakes near bedrock (y=-63 to y=-56)<\/p>\n
## Known Issues
\n– when close to aquatic biomes (oceans, rivers, etc) the carver will occasionally terminate with a flat stone wall
\n– the current aquifer removal logic uses biome tags, which works pretty well but is horrible for compatibility with other worldgen mods<\/p>\n
## Compatibility
\n– **Moderner Beta**: supported
\n– – **CliffTree**: decent
\n– **Terralith**: suboptimal
\n– **Tectonic**: very suboptimal
\n– **Cave Overhaul**: no<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
