[abandoned Mod] Fun Caves [fun_caves]

Edit: This mod is abandoned now that I've switched to
Squaresville C.
Fun Caves replaces the default caves with a dense system of mostly flat (and easier to navigate) caverns, with biomes owing much to caverealms. Once you go underground, you should find everything you need to survive without ever returning to the surface.
Note: This mod is not compatible with mapgen V6, and worlds created with the previous version of fun_caves will NOT work with the new one (no matter how many other mods you add in).

Problems:
- Caves frequently undermine riverbeds and desert sand, causing hilarity if you're foolish enough to dig there. I'm not fixing this one -- I think it's fun.

Ok, had to replace this "mg" with a. Now it's working. There are caves with sandstone or desert sandstone, but there are light issues. These caves are bright as day
What does
mean?

Duane creates a v6 branch. The master is something different.
THX for bugfixing

It's just a place-holder so I could leave some of the world-oriented code in, in case I needed it. (Doesn't look like I will.)

Thanks for your great work. Now I can tinker around with the settings.

I've gone in a new direction with this mod. (See the first post.) It's now a fairly complete underworld environment. There's no surface at all, and anything you'd find there has an equivalent underground. Goblins, spiders, and fungi dominate the caves.

That's a really nice idea, but the gobblins are really hard. They spawn from the first second and I died three times in the first 5 minutes. No idea how to survive this. No time to try something.

i will maybe do a game with this, in a long time, when Voxellar will be stable (otherly said: in another life :D)

What I've had to do is immediately run away from the growing areas to some place with salt or hot cobble and then edge back to get some tools. It's a lot easier if you spawn near a cliff and can just pick up their dropped stuff. Ore spawns everywhere, and the nasty goblins (only about half will actually attack you) spawn near it, but you can also get an iron or diamond sword in no time. Once you have that and a stack of mushroom steaks, you're golden.
It's lively, but not terribly difficult once you get used to it.
Edit: It took me about half an hour to come up with all this, starting from scratch. Killed a dozen goblins, several danglers and two big spiders in the process. (One of the danglers gave me a lot of trouble -- it kept jumping up to the ceiling and dropping on me when I didn't expect it.) Not gonna tell you where the bread came from. There's an inexhaustible supply, when you find it.

I've completely removed the massive cave and v6 algorithms, and I'm now using a much denser, more interconnected set of noises. It's no longer possible to give you an idea of how they look, because they take up nearly half the volume of the world... so, here's a random screenshot.
Underground fires can be particularly deadly.

I've added some silicon-based life and biased the ores to spawn in the less pleasant places. Here's a good spot to find mese.
I also fixed the hot/cold nodes so that they properly cause mobs damage and don't require so many abms.

Well don duane. But ores are pretty rare. Had to search a long time to find more than one iron. But then I found more than enough.
And it is difficult to see because of the uniformity of the glowing stones. My eyes are getting tired after a while

On the left side of the screenshot is not a single ore, on the right side is Walhall. And the structure of the cave is better visible. I removed temporarely the decoration.
And I have heavy lags. I was in creative mode and puched a tiny spider once. It took over 10 seconds until the spider dies. I normal mode I was nearly killed by such a tiny spider because I couldn't kill her, but she made damage.

Oh, right, I didn't found any lava yet. And I flew through the caves.
It's a bit strange with the ores. There are area's where I can't find any ores, but there are areas with every kind of ore, even mese blocks and diamonds

The ore is based on the altitudes in the default game. Wherever there's a sharp increase based on altitude normally, there will be a similar increase horizontally here. I like making the ore harder to find. It was too easy before.
There is a lot of lag. Unfortunately, most of it is being caused by the liquid/lighting updates. To be fair, the game wasn't designed for caves in the sky. I haven't had any problem killing anything yet, as long as I'm walking.
The lava is in the hot biomes (where you see hot cobble and coal).
The uniform glow is a bit dull. Maybe I'll make the individual lights brighter and turn off the rest. That would probably help with the lighting lag.
Edit: Yep. That helps a lot. At least until you get into areas with lava and hot cobble. Then it's lag city again.
