I like the idea, if you decreased the chances of a cave in, it might be pretty amazing! In my oppinion, you should be able to build pillars to make the stone stay standing, I know this is possible, but I am to lazy of a modder to make this, I'm also working on a different mod, so I wouldn't be able to make it, =/
I like this mod. I want a mod that causes a cave in like 10 - 30% of the time unless you support it. Like say a 'Support Beam' item, stick it on the wall like you do with a ladder and it stop blocks within a certain radius from collapsing. But without the support beam placed, you could still mine but you would likely have a cave in. I also want this to happen for all types of blocks. Caves and everything would still stand but once you mine the blocks out then the collapsing comes into play.
The biggest complaints I have with this have already been mentioned by other commentors, the most obvious being that it's just too sensitive. Like someone else suggested, perhaps add a kind of stone which spawns naturally about 1/4 as often as regular stone and is more likely to cause a cave in? Think of it like sand versus sandstone. Maybe shale or something like that?
@pseudocaveman I like this idea: a particular block that when mined can cause nearby stone to collapse. This would solve several problems: the player could avoid collapsing the cave by not mining these vulnerable blocks, and it would prevent player creations from being destroyed, for the lack of nearby shale. It would also make cave-ins less common, by changing the occurrence of shale blocks. Nice!
I'd love this mod! But I'd also like the ability to craft structural supports for the mines; maybe something that prevents a cave-in beginning within 5 blocks. Cave-ins could still happen near the supports, but only if they're triggered from a further distance. That way you'd be wise to regularly reinforce the mine, but could also live dangerously and hope you don't get smothered.
This looks amazing, I'd like to see it elaborated some though, maybe add some item that lets you tell which rocks will fall, or is it random? Good proof of concept though.
@HupFlupper Can you elaborate? I think it would drastically change the way one adventures through caves. I can picture a group of miners digging through a cave, and one of them digs the wrong block and suddenly they're all separated and lost, digging towards each other. That sounds exciting to me!
@zanguusu Sounds very interesting to me but I think it'd be best if it were more likely for certain stone to cause a cave in, mostly things like load-bearing pillars and such as this would otherwise make mining a nightmare and discourage legitimate ways of getting resources.
@zanguusu You Have apparently solid stone blocks that are so unstable that any adjacent change knocks them loose. That is what is useless about this mod. I've seen more stable mud than this.

This one mod would all but destroy any creative building in Minecraft. Do not want.

It's brilliant - but too sensitive.
