I’ve said it before but I will say it here too: This mod is everything I wish Caves and Cliffs was. Each biome is unique and offers a different adventure in each biome. And I love that.
I’ve always said it perplexes me that modders people who literally make this stuff for fun, add more content and more IMPRESSIVE content in a month than what mojang the owner of the game with millions and millions of dollars at there disposal and resources has put out in years.
@@jradjj2988I agree however it’s important to remember a few things. For starters, modders do complete lots of cool stuff, but when they make mods a lot of it is focused on balance whereas mojang a lot of times is trying to make the game as smooth and balanced as possible. Should there be more in updates from Mojang? Probably yes, but we should remember there’s more than we can see happening. Plus there are 2 versions of Minecraft, both of which could have completely different bugs and issues
The person/people who created the “Alex” mods is/are legitimately genius. I can’t even imagine the kind of coding and modeling work that must have gone into these. Also, there are enough creative, unique ideas in these mods to fill a series of fantasy novels.
@@Pop-fc5xm For one; it took Alex and his team a full year to make this, for two; Alex and his team *really* bit off more than they could chew with this mod, and lastly; Mojang has to recreate every part of an update in every single edition of the game from scratch (except Education).
@@morebrigges Them taking a whole year is not a reason against this. Also mojang only has two additions and (I assume) seperate teams for both. Minecraft is also the most successful game in history, they can make large updates if their design process wasn't so strict.
great mod, I always wanted something like this in minecraft. After all, the underground world of caves has always been somehow boring and empty, even after the “caves and cliffs” there was nothing special to see there. Unique caves with unique content and loot are awesome.
I love how not only is there so much, but all of it has a use. Every single mob either does something, or drops something useful, and they all interact with each other. An amazing mod
this is a common misconseption, the caves can be located with the locate command for example /locate alexscaves:magnetic_cave . people tend to think that you cannot do it becouse the first commands that show up are /locate #alexscaves:(something) which does not sow the actual bimes but rather special conditions
This mod looks amazing, its 100% gonna be used for my next modpack also i hope they update it and add more stuff in the future possibly, the devs are increadibly creative with each biome and cave and I’d love to see more additions to each of the 5 biomes and caves like new mobs and items
@@EccentricEmeralddont know if it was a recent patch, but you should just be able to find them with alexscaves:(name_biome), make sure not to enter # before the 'alexscaves', because then it wont lead you to the actual biomes.
I don't know...I'm using the very first version released you just need to type /locate biome alexscaves: then the biome, it should automatically show it@@EccentricEmerald
I just came across this channel searching for a review of this mod and i absolutely love your narrating man! and alex's caves is indeed my new favorite mod too! You gained a new sub my man PD: I had a lot of fun with the mod, i searched for a cave. Found it and got mauled by dinos
The abyssal chasm really reminds me of mariana trench documentaries. As a thalassophobic person I really really hate deep sea stuff but can't help getting amused by it. The dev(s) really made a great job on the deep sea, it catches the (terrifying) vibe of subnautica. Love this mod
I Love The Vesper Mutant, reminds me of the rancor from Star wars, Part of me wants to capture one and Put it in a cave under my palace with the typical Pit to Drop them down Into
Imagine if Alex made his own game. This looks absolutely amazing from both a design, and game design perspective. Look at that book animation and minigame! 3:00
Something that he did get wrong was you absolutely can use the /locate biome Alex XXX command. However sometimes they might actually be to far to find a certain one
I mean since L Enders Cataclysm, and Twilight Forest exist, it's pretty impressive/shocking to hear that this is someone's favorite mod. However all 3 seem to share the same biggest issue, which is the limited amount of times it can be enjoyed. If you beat a boss, or big special monster, that's that, it's gone, your friends on the same server don't get to experience it. I tame T-Rex, and now it's gone. I beat Golem and now it's gone, I beat the Ice Queen and yup you guessed it, it's gone. Yea sure maybe you find a second instance where you can encounter 1 more, but these amazing mods aren't very multiplayer friendly.
Alex's Caves- Is a mod made by a way smaller and less budget team than Mojang. Gives alot of features in a single mod. Mojang- Owned by one the largest tech companies. Adds Amethyst and Copper for an update.
I'm playing it right now. And the first place it lead me to is the Forlorn Hollows. Man, it's difficult but fun ^_^ But if I compare this place to the other caves, I'm not sure if this is the hard or I am just a noob
Just saying, they can be found using /locate you just need to type in /locate a and it comes up with them, its because they dont start with their respective biome names but instead alexscaves
/locate does actually work. It's just that. The biomes are so rare they often fall outside it's search radius. Annoyingly this happens with the maps too
The Forlorn Hollows seem to have taken heavy inspiration from the Fallout franchise. The molerats of fallout function very similarly to the corrodents, the under-zealots look just like mole miners and the forsaken are similar to the scorchbeasts both in appearance and attacks. I'm definitely downloading this awesome mod :D
I definitely love this mod but it is at second place to my first favorite not because of style but because of the nostalgia I had with it this mod being Fossils and Archaeology, side note a small feature I love about this mod is the Amber Curiosity item which if you use on certain mobs… I will keep that for you to figure out
Let's be honest. Everyone who played Fossil and Archeology revival. Was most excited for the Dinosaur cave. But I hope new update for Fossil and Archeology revival will come out at least a year later
@@Dodo-hh5ew lol true, also yeah Primordial Caves is my favorite Cave because of the Dinosaurs plus if you use the Amber Curiosity item you get a cool little Easter Egg😋
Saying its ur fav quite a lot sense create and other big ass mods outthere Edit:never mind i see why now this is amazing i want to play now too i think it can compare to the big big mods like create already especially with the dino cave
I’ve said it before but I will say it here too:
This mod is everything I wish Caves and Cliffs was. Each biome is unique and offers a different adventure in each biome. And I love that.
Alex should be a mojang developer instead of them honestly
@@EccentricEmeraldthe thing is if Alex is a mojang dev he’ll get held back by mojang policies

This is my favorite mod too! Glad to see everyone enjoying it! I've had so much fun with it!
I love it!
I love your plague inc pfp
@@coffin6513yea
Alex caves and alex mobs is a godly combo i would geuss
Is this on mcpedl?
for those who are wondering, the small gray creatures and the squid with the two long tentacles in the abyssal chasm are from the alex's mobs mod.
Wjat minute of the video?
@@Skibidisigmapomnidigitalramz 15:33 upper part
The Abyssal chasm has a Sabnautica vibe.
It even has it´s own Levaiathan, and alot of other scary things.
It remindes me a lot of the grand reef.
The jelly fish mobs also look like crabsqiuds.
(Maybe it also kinda remindes me of thel blood kelp zone)
The person/people who created the “Alex” mods is/are legitimately genius.

They also made ice and fire
They can actually be found with the locate command, but sometimes they spawn out of range of the command, hence why sometimes they arent found
17:48 "Multiple leviathan-class lifeforms have been detected in this area, are you sure you want to proceed?"
Hehe I’m in danger
The Mojang devs wish they were as good as Alex’s team
Fr 😭
False, they are both comparable to eachother.
@@morebriggescomparable? this mod has more content than what mojang has added to minecraft in years

The primordial caves singlehandedly convinced me to keep up with this mod.
Same! It reminds me of Ice Age: Dawn of The Dinosaurs😂
basically all including the primordial caves brought me in, but mainly the chasm cuz im a fish nerd@@unholyhardy4359
Terminator, Ice Age 3, Oppenheimer, Subnautica, and A Quiet Place all in one mod. Perfection
LOL
I love how not only is there so much, but all of it has a use. Every single mob either does something, or drops something useful, and they all interact with each other. An amazing mod
It looks like a whole other game in my thinking its just so fricking cool
I love how every person to have covered this mod pronounces Neodymium differently lol
Finally this mod is released!
Can't wait to play it myself
this is a common misconseption, the caves can be located with the locate command for example /locate alexscaves:magnetic_cave . people tend to think that you cannot do it becouse the first commands that show up are /locate #alexscaves:(something) which does not sow the actual bimes but rather special conditions
Alex’s mobs and this mod are perfect for balancing each other and have a minecraft charm to them matching the art style of the main game
Holy shit that intro took me back to 2010s Minecraft content , cheers
You are so welcome
Quick correction, you can /locate the biomes, running the command '/locate biome alexscaves:magnetic_caves' ect.
best showcase vid i have found on this mod. good shit man!
This mod looks amazing, its 100% gonna be used for my next modpack
also i hope they update it and add more stuff in the future possibly, the devs are increadibly creative with each biome and cave and I’d love to see more additions to each of the 5 biomes and caves like new mobs and items
The creator of the mod already said he's gonna be adding new things to the caves, mainly the dino one.
There's also 13 more caves that will be added.
14:34 ahah Subnautica, *blood kelp, crash, and void zones PTSD kicking in*
Fun fact: if you’re using the Nature’s Compass mod and try to find any of these using it, the compass will instantly break
Great showcase video, such a fun looking mod
This mod looks great. Thanks for the video❤
Glad you like it!
Wow. This mod is just, wow. If I hadn’t seen your video I would’ve never know about it! Thanks so much!!!
No problem
mod of the year
Strongly agreed
Just WOW! Cant wait to play around with it, sooooo good
Literally what caves and cliffs should have been. The primordial cave and lush cave are actually quite similar in environment, but lack the wildlife.
its easy to find lush caves next to primordial ones.
reallly informative review, you deserve more subs
ive never seen someone in 2024 still rockin a 2016 minecraft intro
I wish alex would finish rats mod (and squash major bugs)
You can use /locate biome but many times its out of bounds since these caves are rare
There are 3 caves each per world
@@graycatsaderow no you can find all of them???
@@pi41ak18 i meant that in the world there are only 3 instances of each cave,which is why they are so rare.
Not that you can only find 3 of them
@@graycatsaderowOHHHH WHAT
@@graycatsaderowthat's kind of annoying
actually the biomes can be located with the /locate biome command
I did it to find all of them
The locate command didn't appear for me when recording was there a patch that came out recently?
@@EccentricEmeralddont know if it was a recent patch, but you should just be able to find them with alexscaves:(name_biome), make sure not to enter # before the 'alexscaves', because then it wont lead you to the actual biomes.

Gotta love how they made the dinosaurs wrists face inward like in the irl.
Id absolutely love that see what the Hullbreaker and Forsaken would like as realistic creatures
Thats an insane mod, the ideas the implementation. Amazing
bro ive like grown up with you and heard your voice get deeper as mine did too LMAOO
*i want alex to do a kaiju mod now*
Tremorzilla.
Honestly alexs mods are really good.
7:28 literally that one Ice Age movie.
I Love The Vesper Mutant, reminds me of the rancor from Star wars, Part of me wants to capture one and Put it in a cave under my palace with the typical Pit to Drop them down Into
Primodial caves and magnetic cave is my favorite cave in this mod
10:33 sounds a lot like ark and i love it
The 2015s Minecraft intro is back
You saying magnetic power gives me some rather pleasant flashbacks to "memes, the DNA of the soul"
it feels illegal to be this early
Perfectly legal
Imagine if Alex made his own game. This looks absolutely amazing from both a design, and game design perspective. Look at that book animation and minigame! 3:00
Best cave mod :)))
Something that he did get wrong was you absolutely can use the /locate biome Alex XXX command. However sometimes they might actually be to far to find a certain one
Small correction: the locate command can be used to find the biomes, not sure why you thought otherwise.

Damn that intro song is nostalgic
5:38 I feel like something has to be wrong here, there’s no way that mob has 3200 hp on purpose. That’s over 10x more than the wither on Java.
But isn't a boss?
Alex's Caves- Is a mod made by a way smaller and less budget team than Mojang. Gives alot of features in a single mod.
Mojang- Owned by one the largest tech companies. Adds Amethyst and Copper for an update.
Mods are way easier to make it than the actual updates in the game
btw, you can use the /locate biome command if you first type in alexscaves: then all the caves show up there
Mojang needs to hire this creator of a masterpiece that could solo every update and doesn’t need an entire company to do it.
The forsaken is kinda cute looking. Makes me want to tame it 💀
They added gargantuan leviathan in Minecraft
Minecraft could be able to make updates like this mod if Microsoft didn't put so many restrictions on Mojang. This mod is pretty good though.
I figured this out, if you scroll down enough you can find the /locate command for all the types of caves.
All the biome CAN be located with commands, its just different from other commands
I'm playing it right now. And the first place it lead me to is the Forlorn Hollows. Man, it's difficult but fun ^_^ But if I compare this place to the other caves, I'm not sure if this is the hard or I am just a noob
Just saying, they can be found using /locate you just need to type in /locate a and it comes up with them, its because they dont start with their respective biome names but instead alexscaves
Las Forlorn están más vacías que la 1.21 🗿
It is possible to locate the biomes with commands. “/locate biome Alex”. This should show up a list of the five biomes
These animations are sooo sick
Can you do applied energistics guide
I really hope that they will make this mod available for 1.18.2
this looks like a cool mod
This mod has more content than the caves and cliffs updates
Fun fact guano is the name of bat excrement and corprolite is the name for fossilised excrement
/locate does actually work. It's just that. The biomes are so rare they often fall outside it's search radius. Annoyingly this happens with the maps too
No the maps need nbt data so if you get them from the creative inventory it wont work. They can also just take ages to find a biome.
@@b1battledroid824 that's not what I'm talking about. I mean sometimes the map will just never load because there's nothing close enough
@@skippy9273 oh really? that sucks. my bad i just never saw that happen.
FINALLLY, THEY WILL UPDATE ICE AND FIRE TO THE 1.20.1
The Forlorn Hollows seem to have taken heavy inspiration from the Fallout franchise. The molerats of fallout function very similarly to the corrodents, the under-zealots look just like mole miners and the forsaken are similar to the scorchbeasts both in appearance and attacks. I'm definitely downloading this awesome mod :D
Forlorn Hallows are literally so terrifying in survival, hope you ended up downloading the mod. It’s great.
Toxic caves is another one
best mod i've ever played
this is incredible
I was able to locate the caves with the /locate biome command
I definitely love this mod but it is at second place to my first favorite not because of style but because of the nostalgia I had with it this mod being Fossils and Archaeology, side note a small feature I love about this mod is the Amber Curiosity item which if you use on certain mobs… I will keep that for you to figure out

Also I just now got 4 Primordial Cave Tablets lol
Nice
locate biome command works thats what i used to find them
Is that the latest update? It didn't let me use /locate when I was recording anyway. I had to use the maps
for me the game just crashes when i load the game
Same
I was so excited for this until found out only 1.20.1 was hoping for at least 1.18.2 but i know progress.
toxic and magnetic are to out of vanilla for me to like them, but the others are awesome.
already the best mod of 2023
18:00
*Red Alert: Leviathan intensifies*
Saying its ur fav quite a lot sense create and other big ass mods outthere
Edit:never mind i see why now this is amazing i want to play now too i think it can compare to the big big mods like create already especially with the dino cave
you can in fact use locate command for these biomes
why is the abyssal chasm's "plants" so simmilar to blood kelp from subnautica
Dino land is my favorite, but forlorn is close
excuse you? 32 hundred?
god i wanna be able to run versions above 1.17
I can use / locate it’s just that some are so rare that they are too far away to locate them
intro music?
6:50 Why are your holograms colored and not blue?
