Cavern: More Rocks Addon - Minecraft PE Addons

Cavern is an addon meant to make caves have more variety and make them a bit more interesting. Currently, cavern adds new rock variants. Currently Minecraft has 3 rocks: Granite, Diorite, and Andesite. This addon adds 10 more rocks and 5 polished versions. More rocks, ores, and features will be added in the future! Tell me what you think and give suggestions for new things in the comments!

Rocks

Top Row: Polished Slate, Polished Dacite, Polished Gabbro, Polished Limestone, Polished Marble

Middle Row: Slate, Dacite, Gabbro, Limestone, Marble

Bottom Row: Diatomite, Gneiss, Rhyolite, Schist, Shale

All of these rocks generate naturally, and many can be crafted. Polished variants are crafted like any other polished block, as seen below.

Slate

In Vanilla Minecraft, Granite, Diorite, and Andesite have crafting recipes. Even though these are rarely used, I thought it would be fun and make this addon fit better in vanilla if I gave them crafting recipes as well. 

Slate is matte black block that can be crafted with 2 shale and 2 basalt. It also generates underground below y-level 40.

Dacite

Dacite is a white rock with specks of black dotted across. It can be crafted with 2 rhyolite (note that the block shown is an old texture) and 2 andesite. It also generates the same as vanilla rocks.

Gabbro

Limestone

Limestone is a cream colored rock that is crafted with 2 Nautilus Shells and 2 Cobblestone. It is found exclusively in ocean biomes.

Marble

Marble is a white rock that is crafted with 2 Limestone and 2 Cobblestone. It generates underground below y-40.

Gneiss

Gneiss is a white rock with black bands. It can be crafted with 2 Granite and 2 Quartz. it generates below y-40. (Note that this picture shows an old texture of Gneiss.)

Rhyolite

Rhyolite is a grey rock with a rose tint (the rock shown is an old texture). It is crafted with 2 Stone and 2 Granite. It is found just like any other Vanilla rock.

Schist

Shale is a dark grey rock that is crafted with 2 Quartz and 2 Clay Blocks. It is found just like any Vanilla rock.

Shale

Shale is a dark grey rock that is crafted with 2 Quartz and 2 Clay Blocks. It is found just like any Vanilla rock.

Diatomite

Generation

Below are some pictures of some natural generation. Note that these not all generation looks like this, since I chose areas that had more of the new rocks visible. You may also notice that there are more rocks the deeper down you go. 

Terms of Use

You are free to edit this addon for personal use, but you may not upload a modified or normal version of this addon to another site, or take credit for my work. 

You may feature it in any Youtube Video, but please link back to this page. (Also let me know if you do, I’d love to see it!)

Known Issues

All of the blocks are broken at the same speed and can be broken by hand regardless of your tool. Blocks also do not show up in the creative inventory, they can only be obtained from crafting, mining, or commands. These are issues with Minecraft and cannot currently be fixed.

Installation

Make sure to enable experimental features!

To get this addon download a CavernR (resources) and a CavernB (Behaviors) file that are found in either the ZIP or MCPACK folders in the Google Drive link. All of these files are downloads directly from Google Drive, so you don’t have to deal with sketchy ads and viruses from Link Shorteners. These links will always be safe to download.

If you don’t know how to apply addons to Minecraft, I recommend looking for a tutorial on youtube for your device. If these are not helpful, you can join my Discord server and I can help you there. I only have experience on iOS downloads though.
