Hollow Trough Voids Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I find deep ocean trenches?
Deep ocean trenches generate naturally in ocean biomes across your world—travel across the open sea and look for sudden drops in the seafloor or darker water columns. Use the debug screen (F3) to confirm you're approaching Y level -56 where the deepest trenches form.
Can I use this mod with Terralith or Biomes O' Plenty?
Yes, Hollow Trough Voids is designed to work seamlessly with Terralith, Tectonic, Oh The Biomes We've Gone, and Biomes O' Plenty without conflicts or extra setup required.
What's the deepest level trenches go down to?
Trenches reach down to Y level -56, which is near the bottom of the world in modern Minecraft versions.
Do trenches have special mobs or dangers?
Trenches host standard ocean mobs and creatures, but the extreme depth and darkness create survival challenges—bring adequate oxygen, light sources, and armor before descending into the deepest sections.
Can I build a base inside a trench?
Yes, trenches provide natural walls and shelter for underwater bases; use waterlogged blocks and air pockets to create habitable spaces, and consider the pressure of water at extreme depths when planning your build.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
The mod generates terrain efficiently and works alongside other world generation mods without requiring extra library files, but performance depends on your system and total mod count—test in a small world first if concerned.
Are there special resources or ores in trenches?
Trenches follow standard Minecraft ore generation rules but offer unique biome-specific blocks and coral ecosystems; check your specific modpack configuration to see if custom ores were added to trench depths.
Do trenches generate in all ocean biomes?
Trenches generate across ocean biomes in your world, including those from compatibility mods like Biomes O' Plenty and Terralith, creating varied underwater landscapes.
How do I navigate safely in deep trenches?
Bring Respiration enchanted gear, plenty of food, light sources like sea lanterns or torches, and consider using conduits or potions to extend your underwater time and visibility.
Can I disable trenches in certain areas or biomes?
Check your modpack's configuration files for world generation settings; some packs allow customization of trench frequency or biome restrictions, but this depends on how the mod was configured.
