CaveBlock#
No sky. No surface. Just stone in every direction and a pickaxe in your hand.
CaveBlock flips the island game on its head: instead of building up into the open air, players carve out their world from solid underground. Dig for ores, hollow out a home, expand through the dark. It's the same satisfying island progression — challenges, levels, teammates — but the whole thing plays out underground. Dwarves Players everywhere love it.
