Subterranean Waters

Video Demonstration

IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE USE

There are issues in the code that cause boundary walls underground. If biome checks are removed, the problem largely disappears, but in water biomes large air bubbles will form.

Until the code is fixed, I strongly recommend YUNG's Better Caves, which includes all the features of this mod and more.

What the Mod Adds

The Subterranean Waters mod introduces three main elements to the game:

• Underground oceans
• Underground lakes
• Underground rivers

Have you ever dreamed of discovering vast water spaces beneath the surface of the ordinary world? Do you like the idea of exploring caves where accessing the best ores requires diving into deep underground waters?

Then Subterranean Waters is made just for you!

Now gold, diamonds, and redstone are just one deep breath away. You'll have to face the harsh reality of an unpredictable underground world.

For the first time, you'll have a real reason to visit the Nether before reaching bedrock. For the first time, you'll have a serious reason to brew water breathing and night vision potions.

This is a decorative world generation mod that adds large caves, partially filled with water, to any dimension.

With default settings, fairly shallow but very wide voids are created in the ordinary world at approximately height 18-26 blocks, with water level at 22.

Many parameters can be configured, allowing you to create landscapes resembling the Nether beneath your world.

What Was Changed

Numerous improvements to achieve behavior similar to the original 1.7.10 version.

Default configuration changed for actual generation of oceans, large lakes, and rivers underground.

Added biome exclusion setting.

IMPORTANT NOTE

The version for 1.7.10 existed, but I didn't create a project fork and ported the existing code to 1.11.2. The original author also deleted the project from GITHUB where it was previously located, so it cannot be restored.

I RECOMMEND the following mods for 1.7.10 that might interest you since they are similar in theme to this mod:

Cave Control - the closest analog, allowing you to replace cave air with water or lava, possibly both options simultaneously.

If you install Cave Control, I recommend complementing it with the Streams mod for a more exciting gaming experience.

License

MIT, same as the previous version.

Additional Information

It's unclear why the original author didn't update the mod. The required changes were minimal. I'm concerned about the author's fate since they were last active on October 31, 2017. What happened on that Halloween night that made them disappear from the scene? [mystery music plays here]

No longer required on the client side, but if you don't have a server where players connect with mods installed on their clients, you shouldn't refuse this mod in client packs.

Thanks
