Caves are small and unassuming at the surface, but the deeper you go, the crazier things get. You&#8217;ll find <b>lava caverns, underground lakes and rivers, flooded caverns, and more!<\/b>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nBetter Caves is a powerful and customizable Minecraft cave mod, with dozens of options and support for dimension-specific configurability. For information on how to use the extensive configuration, see the wiki!\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIf you&#8217;re looking for older versions of Better Caves (pre-1.20.1), check out the Forge and Fabric pages on CurseForge.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/1OPCfB1.png\" alt=\"Compatibility\" width=\"1125\" height=\"59\" \/><br \/>\nYUNG&#8217;s Better Caves is intended to be fully compatible with as many worldgen mods as possible. The following are known compatibility issues:\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Concurrent Chunk Management Engine (C2ME) for 1.20.1<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Set <i>[threadedWorldGen].enabled<\/i> to <i>&#8220;false&#8221;<\/i>. Otherwise, you may have issues with pockets of lava spawning within water regions. Note that this applies to C2ME on 1.20.1 ONLY &#8211; it is not necessary to make this change on 1.21.1.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/2mVOWMC.jpeg\" alt=\"Play with friends with the Essential mod!\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/a49IMQJ.png\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/nQRs7ZP.png\" alt=\"Use code YUNGNICKYOUNG with Bisect Hosting for 25% off!\" width=\"1344\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overhauled cave generation, underground lakes and rivers, lava oceans, and more!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":173428,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"yungs-better-caves","_minecraft_project_id":"Dfu00ggU","_minecraft_author":"YUNGNICKYOUNG","_minecraft_license":"LGPL-3.0-only","_minecraft_downloads":625243,"_minecraft_follows":156,"_minecraft_client_side":"unsupported","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"yungs-better-caves.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":2664193,"_minecraft_version_count":6,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-16T15:53:00.753133Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2025-08-29T18:49:34.614007Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2025-09-10T22:46:22.848690Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/yungs-better-caves","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":173428,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-09T22:46:22+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"d9b1f9b06b0622652bcc35e807d1901d","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[87,156,97,104,158,159],"mod_loader":[99,106,160],"minecraft_version":[36,62,37],"class_list":["post-173427","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-adventure","mod_category-decoration","mod_category-fabric","mod_category-forge","mod_category-neoforge","mod_category-worldgen","mod_loader-fabric","mod_loader-forge","mod_loader-neoforge","minecraft_version-1-20-1","minecraft_version-1-21","minecraft_version-1-21-1"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
