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.
