A paragon of exploration and adventure

Alex's caves prioritizes exploration, creativity and trying to reintroduce a sense of wonder int he player - as if we were playing the game for the first time over again.

The mod is gargantuan, adding six detailed, spectacular and exhilarating cave biomes to the world - gigantic underground pockets of the world. Each one has a distinct theme, with unique aesthetics, osts, inhabitants and resources.

The cave biomes are rare, and require an exploration map and usually a multi thousand block journey to come across. Each biome uses its theme to the fullest, such as magnetic caves including attractive and repulsive tools, armor, pulleys/conveyors and even a gauntlet. The drops are really fun to play around with - and the caves are worth exploring.

From the time I've spent in the mod, its evident a lot of thought, time and effort went into it; effort which isn't wasted since the experience is some of the most fun I've had.

The unique aesthetic is incompatible with most shaders, and I did face some issues with mob spawns and behavior, especially on servers. But when it does work, it is a blast. This is a mod that deserves a place on most, if not all, fantasy/exploration adventurers' modpacks.
