A fast, very simple mod to develop and replace the big caves of the now removed 'indev' mapgen.
By default massive caverns start to appear below y = -256.
Realm limits, blend distance and cave size / underground volume ratio are parameters for you to adjust.
By default caves are roughly 1/3rd of underground volume, and can be separated by up to roughly 800 nodes.

Use with my 'intersecting' tunnel mod viewtopic.php?f=11&t=9521 for the full underground experience.

Hey, nice job here, paramat!

Use with my 'interesecting' tunnel mod for the full underground experience of 1D, 2D and 3D forms.

Where I can find one? Forum's search returned nothing but this topic...

Indeed, this is quite nice, paramat. Great option for people who don't want a bunch of extra nodes like in caverealms as well.

Version 0.1.1
I added upper and lower realm limits with an exponential blend, insead of a flat ceiling cutoff the caves just stop forming in a natural looking way. It was a relief to see no noticeable slowing of chunk generation.

What's the difference to the intersect mod?

[HeroOfTheWinds]

Intersect is a system of tunnels and lava tubes, rather than giant caverns. And the tunnels go on for miles...

Version 0.2.0
Noise object optimisation. Fix code style issues. Add info to readme

Should consume a little less memory and run a little faster now.

How generate long horizontal caves for using with Pilzadam's nether mod with not very height ceiling.

In noise parameters you can squash the shape of caves by reducing the y-spread:

Code: Select all

spread = {x = 768, y = 256, z = 768}, -- squashed 3:1
