Enable and Explore the Underground World Option

Activating Experimental Mode

The data pack includes an experimental underground world setting. When enabled, this feature generates a giant, nearly endless deep space far below the normal cave layer.

What to Expect

The underground world creates massive open cavern systems with floating islands and vast empty spaces. This mode dramatically expands the vertical depth available for exploration and mining, giving you seemingly infinite underground territory to discover.

Preparation Tips

Before enabling this feature, understand that it only affects new chunks you generate afterward. Bring extra supplies for extended underground expeditions—the scale of these spaces means you'll be far from the surface for long periods. Mark your path carefully and consider building waypoint structures to navigate the expansive caverns safely.
