Cave Dust Mod is an aesthetically focused mod that adds white ash particles to mines to simulate dust! These particles are taken directly from the basalt delta biome in the Nether, and their appearance will be extended to all Overworld caves except lush caves.

Frequently asked questions
Why don't I see any dust particles in my cave?
Cave Dust only spawns particles in Overworld caves that are dark enough and below a certain height, so a brightly lit or shallow cave won't show anything. Try going deeper and letting the area stay unlit, then wait a moment for particles to fade in.
Do the dust particles show up in lush caves?
No. Lush caves are deliberately excluded, so you'll only see the white ash-style dust in other Overworld cave types. If you're standing in a lush cave, the lack of particles is intended behavior.
How do I turn the dust off completely?
The mod is client-side and aesthetic, so you can disable it through your mod menu's config screen or by removing it from your client. Check the mod's config options for a toggle or density setting before uninstalling.
Can I make the dust less thick without removing the mod?
Yes, the config typically exposes a density or amount option you can lower so particles are subtler. Adjust it in the mod's config and reload the world to see the change.
