Who is this for?

This mod is intended to facilitate ports of Cave Generator and Ore Stone Variants to 1.16+.

I am hoping that other mod developers will take up interest in this library and consider using it. I am extremely open to provide additional features for this library if that would be helpful to other developers. If so, please send me a message on GitHub or Discord.
