    About

    Better Caves 3D is a resource pack that gives underground mining a more dimensional look with detailed 3D models and emissive textures. It adds depth and glow to ores, builds detailed 3D geometry for rails, and gives Glow Berries, Skulk Veins, Glow Lichen, and pointed dripstone more volume and refined shapes. The pack works without OptiFine or Iris, so its visual changes do not require those mods.

    Written from CurseForge . How we write it

    In-game changes

    Changes 22 block textures and 57 models.

    Adds 11 block textures and 1 model.

    Block textures are mostly 16 by 16 pixels.

    Security

    No harmful code found

    We checked what is inside its files, without opening them in the game.

    Why we show this: a resource pack cannot run programs, but its file can hide one. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade.

    How we checked · The latest file checked, last on 16 Oct 2026
    • FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.
      1 latest file, for a recent version. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases

    Privacy

    Sends nothing

    A resource pack has no code that can connect to the internet, so it cannot send anything about you.

    AI

    No sign so far that AI was used to make it

    We looked for AI tools in its description, files and images and found none.

    We have not read its changelogs yet.

    Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
