Another Minecraft mod maker, Frogballoon, has also made a retexture mod for Cave Dweller. Dubbed “Creepier Cave Dweller,” Frogballon turns the original’s rather flat texture into something closer to a creature from The Nether. Sporting a black body, it definitely looks scarier, making your adventure in the dark much more suspenseful. Here’s what you need to do to use the texture pack:

Download the Creepier Cave Dwellers-1.19.3.zip on Curseforge.
Put it into the Resource Pack folder.
Apply the file changes.
Move it to the top of the Resource Pack List.
Doing so should overwrite the original mod assets.

And that is how you can install the Cave Dweller mod for your Minecraft. Are you ready to face it alone, especially at night? Stay tuned at The Nerd Stash for more guides on Minecraft and your other favorite game titles.
