Notice

This mod is discontinued since people keep stealing this mod while passing it off as their own (+ also gating access behind payment)

• Some issues fixed (e.g. it works in multiplayer)

• There are no plans for < 1.18.2 ports

Commands

Ther are some commands when you use /cave_dweller

• fast_forward: Increase (or decrease) the current spawn or noise timer (in ticks)
• get_target: Displays the current spawn target (cave dweller will spawn at its destination and target it)
• get_timer: Displays the current spawn or noise timer (in seconds), format being: current / target

Biomes

• Datapack config takes priority (\cave_dweller\tags\worldgen\biome\cave_dweller_surface_biomes.json), by default it contains #forge:is_spooky
• In the configs you can set whether surface biome list is handled as a white- or blacklist
• You can also configure the biomes in the configs but you'll have to enable the override config for that to take effect

Dimensions

• You can manage the dimensions it can spawn in through the configs - by default the Cave Dweller will only spawn in minecraft:overworld
• The entries are based on the dimension resource key, not the dimension type resource key
• If a dimension contains no valid players it it will not tick its logic (e.g. timers will not go down)
• The maximum amount of cave dwellers is per dimension

Compatibility

• If you're using the mod https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/enhanced-ai you will need to add the Cave Dweller to the [Base.Targeting."Entity Blacklist"] config entry
