Description

Original mod - Cave Dust by LizIsTired

What is different from the original?

Cave Dust Rethinking keeps the atmosphere and core dust-generation behavior of the original mod while improving performance and reliability.

  • Dust no longer appears inside solid blocks or fluids.
  • The default particle density has been rebalanced from 25 to 14, keeping caves visibly dusty with a smaller FPS impact.
  • Particle processing has been optimized to reduce unnecessary calculations.
  • Configuration values are checked to prevent invalid settings from causing problems.
  • Compatible with particle optimization mods such as AsyncParticles, Smart Particles, and Particle Core.
  • Support has been added for newer Minecraft versions and additional mod loaders.

The particle density can still be adjusted in the configuration if you prefer more or less dust.
