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.

Does it work? If not, then it broke. And since there is no beta build yet, there will be no 1.6 build yet.

GiantCaves does its best to prevent block updates from happening in such cases by filling up the blocks below that 'hole' in the ocean with water. There's nothing else I can do for now.

Posted Jun 29, 2013I'm having some problems with giant caves being created within deep oceans. As you can imagine, this causes lag from block updates. Any suggestions, beyond changing the Y level? If this were biome specific it would be extra awesome.

I can't recommend any plugins for that, as I do not run a server anymore. The second method would work fine, as long as the name of the world is already in GiantCaves's configuration.

Any recommended plugins for that? If not, would I be able to simply install this plugin, then use multi-verse to create a new world and that new world have Giant Caves?

You would need a plugin that allows you to selectively repopulate Chunks. WorldEdit can kind-of do that, but there are probably more efficient solutions.

Posted Jun 19, 2013Can i install this plugin and it effect my already made server? My server is close to being opened, and I think adding this plugin would make it very unique. Will I be able to install this without having to create a whole new world?

Check the tickets next time, this has already been reported and is caused by the development builds you are using. Consider using Beta builds over those, as most plugins will only provide new versions for betas.

Posted May 28, 2013Does not seem to initialize at all on my server. I also tested with absolutely no plugins but itself, and it still would not. No configuration file was generated.
Running CB build: 1.5.2-R0.2 (Build #02779)
What is happening? if you can explain...

Just dig or explore other caves. Most of the time the gigantic ones connect to smaller ones.
