Giant Caves
Overview
Giant Caves is a bukkit mod that creates giant underground caves in the world. The caves are generated using Perlin noise seeded by the world seed. Caves are unique to each world.
Giant Caves is implemented as a bukkit block populator and is compatible with the vanilla world generator and most likely any world generation plugin that implements the chunk generator pattern. Giant Caves also comes with a vanilla generator for use with Multiverse.
Works best with Subterranea
See it in Action!
Here is a great overview video in German and one in Portuguese
Installation
I don't have Multiverse or another world manager
- Stop the server if it is running!
- Download the plugin and put it into your plugins folder.
- Start your Server to make the plugin generate default world configuration files for known worlds.
- Set onlyUseWorldManagers to false in config.yml
- Edit the configuration file to match your needs. (See Help Topics > Configuration for more info.)
- Restart your server.

Decrease the maxy to prevent the cave generator from cutting into the ocean.

Posted Apr 3, 2012Hi, Thank you for this awesome plugin. However, I can't get a great result from this plugin. I want to get a cave like the picture up there. Someone can send me a link to download a world with this kind of cave?
Thank you !

Posted Apr 2, 2012I noticed it cuts into the ocean and creates air pockets shaped like the cave. It would be nice if it knew how to stay below the ocean level when generating in ocean biomes.

You can have only ONE world (for example world_123 (additional world)) that will have these caves.

Posted Mar 17, 2012Would it be possible to make this generate entire worlds? Instead of just adding the caves under a map, make the world solid stone and populate it with caves, maybe make it resource rich?

I'm assuming is coming from this plugin as it happens where giant caves are spawned. Possibly just needs to be updated. Great plugin, And am very much hoping to use it.
although i could be very wrong lol, but these do popup only were there are giant caves spawned. If it's not this but you know what it is please point me in the right direction.

Posted Feb 2, 2012Great plugin. Took some tweaking before I got it just right. Still seems to work withtout any problem. My players love to find those nice caves. Swing by the server (open to "look around") and do /warp fatcave for an excellent example of what can be done with this plugin.

Posted Jan 16, 2012Fantastic plugin, deltahat!
Do you think it might be possible to add an option to pupulate the caves with giant mushrooms? This would be the only evironment where I find them absolutly fitting!

Yes. They are embedded into the fabric of your world.
@BioRage
Increasing both the stretch and the cutoff will make the overall cave matrix larger, but more selective. This will result in less frequent caves.
