Alex Caves Dimensions Portals

Adds fully configurable portals for Alex’s Caves dimensions in Minecraft Forge 1.20.1.

Unlike traditional worldgen mods, this mod keeps the Overworld clean by placing each cave biome in its own separate dimension, accessible through custom portals.

Perfect for exploration-focused modpacks and multiplayer servers.
