Exploring the Cave Biomes

Alex's Caves adds several distinct cave biomes to the underground, each with its own blocks, creatures, and materials. Two major themes stand out: prehistoric biomes and radioactive biomes. Prehistoric areas feature ancient plants like Ancient Leaves and Ancient Saplings, along with creatures such as the Grottoceratops and Atlatitan. Radioactive regions introduce materials like neodymium, radon, and acidic radrock, plus hazards you should approach carefully.

Before descending, bring standard caving gear and a way to handle new threats. Many mobs here are unique to their biome, so expect unfamiliar behavior rather than vanilla patterns. Useful materials to watch for include Amber, which appears in prehistoric settings, and Azure Neodymium, tied to radioactive areas. Some blocks and creatures interact with magnets or radiation, so experimenting in a safe spot first is wise. Biome Treats and Alex Meal relate to taming or feeding certain creatures, so collect them when you find them.
