Alex's Caves rad fork - Branch with Extended Protection Capabilities

This modification represents a fork of the popular Alex's Caves addon that introduces an important technical improvement - armor can now receive radiation and acid protection through special tags. The main credit for creating the original content belongs to developer AlexModGuy, so we recommend supporting the original project.

For the mod to work, installation of the Citadel library is required.

The original Alex's Caves is a large-scale addition for Minecraft 1.20.1 on the Forge platform that enriches the underground world with six completely new cave biomes. Each of these biomes is exceptionally rare, yet offers unique blocks, items, mobs, and mechanics, making them true underground attractions. The modification features: Magnetic Caves, Primordial Caves, Toxic Caves, Abyssal Chasm, Forlorn Hollows, and Candy Cavity.

To discover any of these unique biomes, players need to find an Underground Cabin in the regular world. Inside, you'll find loot chests containing cave tablets and the Cave Compendium - a guide to all new biomes that provides all necessary information for successful exploration.

Alex's Caves stands out for its careful development of the visual component of each biome. The developers paid special attention to atmospheric effects, including particles, fog, lighting, and color palette. Because of this, it's recommended to play without shaders, as they can disrupt the intended visual appearance of the biomes. The mod has built-in compatibility with Just Enough Items and Alex's Mobs.

Key Difference of This Fork

The only functional addition in this version is the ability to assign armor the tags "rad_protective_armor" and "acid_protective_armor", which respectively provide protection against radiation and acid effects.
