CaveMC is a survival server where the whole overworld is underground and there is no surface at all. Everything is caves with different biomes resources and structures so it feels like a giant cave only world. It is semi anarchy so it is pretty brutal and mostly the strongest and smartest players will survive.
The server uses enhanced vanilla with custom world generation made by real Minecraft developers. Because of that the caves feel unique and you can explore for a long time and still find new stuff.
Season 2 adds a fresh start for everyone so new players can join in without being too far behind. There is also a new Wasteland Dimension that opens on November 8. It is not just a biome but a whole extra place with its own custom generated map.
In the Wasteland you can find brand new powerful gear that changes how combat and survival works. There are huge mega structures that hide secrets and valuable resources so exploring is a big part of the game. The Wasteland also has its own currency that creates a special economy and new ways to trade with other players.
There is a new spawn that fits the Wasteland theme and helps set up the challenges you are going to face. Overall the server is for players who like tough survival exploring giant caves and dealing with a harsh world where you have to fight hard to stay alive.
