Cave worlds in Minecraft are a specific type of world where players spend their entire game in underground cave systems. Both the surface and the bottom of the world are covered by Bedrock; therefore, players can not escape or leave. This completely changes the game’s dynamics, as players no longer have access to many tools or materials that they would otherwise easily be able to get. This game mode is very similar to SkyBlock, in that many, usually common materials, are tough to obtain.
Players looking for a hardcore experience, much more difficult than a regular Minecraft game, often ask how to make a cave world in Minecraft Java or Bedrock. In this NeuralGamer Minecraft guide, we will explain how to do this.
Minecraft Cave World Download Tutorial For Minecraft Java Edition
Java Players’ method to generate a cave world depends on their Minecraft version. Please select what version you’re playing on:
Minecraft Java 1.16.5 or later
Players who are looking to make a cave world and a Minecraft game that runs on version 1.16.5 or after, follow these steps:
- Open up your Minecraft game so that it is on the main menu.
- Click on the Singleplayer button.
- Click on ‘create new world’.
- Cycle through the options until you find the cave only world options.
- Create the game and wait for it to generate.
Minecraft Java 1.8 / 1.8.9 / 1.9
Creating a cave-only world in one of the three versions is more difficult but not too challenging. You must go to version 1.16.5 first and generate a cave world there. After that, close the game and reopen it in your desired version.
Cave World Mods for Java Edition
