Frequently asked

Does Cave Dweller Overhaul work on Minecraft 1.21.1?

Yes. 1.21.1 is the newest Minecraft version Cave Dweller Overhaul declares support for, and the claim comes from the author's own release metadata rather than from a compatibility list somebody maintains by hand.

Which Minecraft versions does Cave Dweller Overhaul support?

Everything the author has declared, from 1.20 up to 1.21.1. The full list is in the table above, with the Java runtime each version needs next to it.

Do I need to install Cave Dweller Overhaul on the client or the server?

Both. Every player needs it installed and so does the server, so anyone joining without it will be refused.

Which platform or loader does Cave Dweller Overhaul support?

Forge. A build for one platform or loader will not necessarily load on another, so this is the first thing to check before the Minecraft version.

Which Java version do I need for Cave Dweller Overhaul?

Among the supported Minecraft releases above, the highest recorded requirement is Java 21 or newer. Use the requirement for the exact Minecraft version you run; previews and snapshots may differ.

What licence is Cave Dweller Overhaul under?

MIT, as stated by the author on the platform we synced it from. Check the project's own page before redistributing or bundling it.

How do I install Cave Dweller Overhaul?

Install the matching loader first, then put the downloaded file in your mods folder and start the game. The loader, the mod and Minecraft all have to be on the same version, which is the usual reason a mod does not appear in game.

Where do I download Cave Dweller Overhaul safely?

MCReference has no release file or checksum recorded for Cave Dweller Overhaul. Check the publisher's Modrinth listing for current downloads and verify the publisher before installing.
