Worley’s Caves

Worley's Caves carving

Worley’s Caves is a Minecraft mod made in colaboration with superfluke, originally for version 1.12.2 of the game. The mod changes how caves are generated, shuch that they form larger cave systems of connecting caves throughout the world. In a game much about exploration and creation, especially considdering the time spent exporing the underground, the formation of caves has a large impact on the player’s experience.

Worley’s caves are based on the usage of worley noise, hence the name, a celullar noise where values values for any coordinate is determined according to the closeness to any points in a randomly distributed set. The creation of 3D caves with cellular noise uses a relation between the distance to the 3rd and 2nd closest points.

The Worley’s Caves mod can be downloaded from its CurseForge site, and the source code is avaiable on GitHub.
