This is for anyone attempting to make the mod, or interested in further specifics.

- Would spawn deep in caves, away from sunlight or lava sources
- Are harmless, may drop if run into or hit
- Can be killed by being stepped on or hit
- Spawn only on stone or limestone, hang from ceiling
- Come in four different colours: Red, blue, green, and white.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: None of the below will ever spawn on marble, sand, or sandstone, and none will generate near light sources (such as sunlight or lava)
- These would generally glow a light blue colour, and would be found on soil or rocks away from sunlight.
- They vary from regular mushrooms in size, are generally only slightly larger than brown mushrooms, and have a pointed top.
- can be used to craft Glowing Armour (with Glowing Shroom Dust), which illuminates about 5 blocks around you.
Glowing Shroom Dust is crafted like so:



When = glowing mushroom
Glowing Armour:



when = Glowing Shroom Dust
and = Armour
- These spawn on cave rock or dirt as well, and grip to the walls. You can use them as ladders, they glow very slightly green.
- These drop Glowing Vines, which can be replaced in caves as ladders, or placed outside, in which case they make regular Vines.
- These will only spawn on stone, and have a vague flower-like shape, but are very curly. They glow the typical light green colour.
- Can be replaced in dark areas, otherwise won't grow (much like regular Mushrooms)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Plants:

Strangle Vine: (courtesy of geesegeese)
-Strangles players that come too close
-Plant curls around the prey and squeezes, doing 1 damage per second for 1-5 seconds
-Drops Strangle-vines, when placed it creates more strangle-vines
- if placed above ground it will attack mobs, not the player.
Moss: (courtesy of Ja_Gern)
-Would grow on top of smooth stone and spread like grass, although a lot slower (don't want it everywhere, now do we?)
-Use the shape of fallen snow, where it essentially sits on top of a block
-(Not sure about possible use) may serve as spawning point for certain cave critters
-Could possibly convert any placed cobblestone that it spread to into mossy cobble, which would allow an easy way to get that block we all love
-Finally would add realism and another way to tell location in the caves (may spawn near water?)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Limestone will generate anywhere near water (such as cave rivers / underground lakes) and is collectable, and fairly common (a bit more common than coal.)
- It can be used to make fertillizer, which is useful on trees as well as crops.
Fertillizer:



When = Limestone
- Limestone formations will only occur in underground lakes.
- Formations include: Pillars, cones hanging from the wall, limestone pretruding up above the lake surface (upside down cone). It may also coat the walls of an underground lake.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- These will generate randomly, and may or may not contain limestone.
- They have about a 40 block area, on average. They may be smaller or larger.

Credit to SpazzyOrange for the idea of new liquids:

Quote from SpazzyOrange

You could als have another type of liqid instead of lava and water

Two new types of liquid:
GlowWater (Or LumiLiquid, courtesy of Alcat1)
- (Courtesy of DeadJosh) A liquid with a high transparency with a florecent turquoise-green glow and a high light level (close to torches)
-can be replaced and placed outside for night-time light, repels monster spawns like torches do

SoulWater
-Very little transperancy, emits no light, and slows you down much in the way SoulSand does.
-Found in the Nether as well as caves
---No crafting recipes yet for these two new liquids----
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Will only occur at or near bedrock
- Can only be broken with a diamond pick
- Can be collected and used, turned into half-blacks
- Comes in three different colours: Natural (sand-brown-ish colour), blue and black
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Frogs spawn near cave enterances and very deep in a cave, and will follow you around.
- only one frog will follow you at any given moment.
- Frogs come in three different colours: Green (found within 50 blocks of the enterance), Blue (found within 20 blocks of water), and Red (found within 40 blocks of lava.) Albino (found in pitch black, near bedrock)
- Order of rarity: (from least rare to most rare) Green, Red, Blue, Albino
- Have a wingspan of 2 blocks
- Will attack if you reach within 10 blocks of them (unless you're on peaceful, of course)
- Will be found in mobs
- Are found deep in caves near no source of light (unless you light a torch)
- Can be found at night outside of caves.
- Will only come in four colours, brown, black, white and red.
- All snails spawn randomly (there is no order of rarity) although they all spawn deep in caves and most commonly near places with water.
- Drop one Slime Ball when killed
- Unlike ones found in other mods, these are generally small (less than a block tall and a block wide)
- These will only attack if attacked, each attack inflicts about .5 damage.
- These are found in or near water (most common in underground lakes), and only come in two colours: red (near the surface of the cave enterance) and albino. (deep inside the cave).
- Drop Crab Meat, which can be cooked or eaten raw. (also crafted into Crab Cakes like this:)



Where = cooked crab meat
-These are found only in water inside caves or in other dark places. They only come in one colour (yellow), but can be broken to create sponge pieces.
- The sponge pieces are collectable and can be formed into a block on a crafting table in order to make a sponge block. Sponges do not attack, they are shaped in the way coral usually is.
- Need 4 sponge pieces on a crafting table to craft a sponge:



When = sponge piece
- These are mob creatures, they spawn very deep in caves.
- They are two blocks long, and damage one heart per hit.
- These creatures are also fast, making them hard to hit. Fortunately, these creatures are on the rarer side of the mob creatures.
- They drop bones
- These are also mob creatures.
- They inflict two hearts per attack, and are commonly found in the desert at night as well as deep in caves.
- They drop poison, which can be made to use a Poison Tipped Sword. (Poison above a sword on a crafting space)
- This sword would inflict 1 HP more than the sword you are currently using. (i.e. Diamond, gold, iron, stone or wood.)
- These have a general rocky looking appearence, and are caught only in underground caves.
- When cooked, these heal 6 HP. They are also very rare.
- Drops Cave Fish meat.
- Tend to gather in groups, (mob behavior is generally like Zombie Pigmen)
- Are a mob creature
- Drop spears (crafted by two sticks in a row and one flint on top)
- Spears damage 2 HP per hit
- Cavemen have 'bases' and can interact with their environment.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Various normal vines would gather around a cave enterance, as well as purple and black flowers.
- Purple and black flowers can both be used to make dye, and are both only found near cave enterances.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Satan is a mob creature, (So, various satans?) These have an extremely high difficulty. They are three blocks tall, and their attack damages 5 HP per blow.
- When defeated, Satan will drop fire (like what you see in INVedit)
- When not in mobs, Satan is found near lava.
- Demons will appear anywhere in darkness of caves. They also rarely spawn near lava.
- Demons are a one-block high flying creature. They are found in mobs.
- Their attack damages 3 HP. They drop a pitchfork, which can be used as a weapon. (crafted by one stick in the middle and six irons in two rows of three on top)





Mob info: All mobs spawn underground, and usually at least 20 blocks underneath the surface. A few mobs like Cavemen will spawn higher than that, and Bats will spawn above ground at night.

User Submitted Content:

From moklon:
-Worms that drop out of dirt (regular worms) when you break it
-higher chance of getting caves that are in the side of mountains.

From SpazzyOrange:
-Fossils (as rare as diamonds) and can be anything from a snail to a dinosaur (bigger it is, the rarer it is) can be used as decoration or maybe brought back to life. A different liquid rather than water and lava (Acid, maybe? xD)

mFrom corinanth:
-Mole men that are more like npc versions of the player rather than mobs, basic molemen have a diamond pick and the unique ability to break everything except bedrock with one strike. (Pick is not dropped upon death) They also have a mining helmet w/ light (also not dropped). They drop diamonds and gold upon death. They're friendly mobs, although deal 4 damage per hit if provoked, and have a base of operations as well as big tunnels from the base at random. Conflicts between molemen and players could arise when the moleman breaks into your house with an army of creepers. (Not so sure I want this, myself, but hey. There could be an option to turn it off, I suppose.) Molemen will fight all creatures except creepers on sight, and build simple homes for themselves: One room with a window and a torch or two.

From: DeadJosh
The liquid for caves should be a glowing block with a high transparency and be a florescent turqoise-green and glow with a HIGH light level.

From: geesegeese:
A Strangle-Vine
A plant that strangles players and mobs that come close. The plant curls around the prey and squeezes, doing 1 damage per second for 1-5 seconds, or if it it attacked. Drops strangle-vine seeds which can be placed and ground into more Strangle-vines. If planted above sea-level they will only attack mobs, not the player.

A Cave dweller. Blind monsters that eat all mobs except creepers. they cannot see, but are attracted to footsteps and mob noises. Cave dwellers burn in sunlight.

From Alcat1:

Crawlers:
-1 by 1 blocks
-Climb up onto celing and hide in shadows
-Die in a light level of 12 or higher
-Has new behavior called 'stalker'. Will hide in shadows and wait until you are directly below them. then, they will jump down and start biting your head.
-Does NOT go outside of caves
-Does only .5 damage per bite.
-Drops string
-Is a dark blue, purple, and black. has glowing red eyes. (when in the dark, you can see two faint red boxes.)
the crawlers main feature is to scare the player. having a creature in pitch black jump on your head is scary!

Rock munsters:

-Are 1 by 1 by 1 blocks
-Look like stone blocks with little eyes, and big fanged mouth
-Waddles quickly
-Does 1 damage per attack (bite)
-Does NOT go outside of caves
-Can disguise itself as a normal block of stone
the rock munsters (yes, munsters) are somewhat common, and more just for fun.

From: Ja_Gern
Moss
-Would grow on top of smooth stone and spread like grass, although a lot slower (don't want it everywhere, now do we?)
-Use the shape of fallen snow, where it essentially sits on top of a block
-Not sure about possible use, maybe serves as spawning point for certain cave critters
-Could possibly convert any placed cobblestone that it spread to into mossy cobble, which would allow an easy way to get that block we all love
-Finally would add realism and another way to tell location in the caves
