The 21w08a snapshot definitely tweaked some of the features that we gave feedback on in 21w07a! That being said, I still have a few thoughts:
The large cave generation could still be tweaked a little bit. The 08a is definitely more of a compromise between the 06a and the 07a generation, but I feel as if the large open caves could stand to be a little more common and have a wider range of sizes, specifically in the larger direction. A big part of this update is going to be the wonder of exploring and discovering wide open caves and/or building in them, so having them be slightly bigger or slightly more common will help, I think.
Cave carvers now generate under y=0, which is really good, except the generation of them seems to be a bit wonky. Flying around in spectator mode, a lot of them seem to be disjointed and disconnected, with a lot of dead ends, it could be that the new pillars that generate in caves are generating in the way of these smaller caves? They really don't seem to connect to each other as much, which makes it harder to access larger caves or go deeper underground.
One last bit, I think the glow lichen would look better in caves if they generated in different sizes! They mostly seem to generate in groups of 1 or 2, but I feel as if it would look good if they generated in groups of 1-2, groups of 3-4, and rarely, groups of 5-7. I think this would add a little more variation that would make the glow lichen appear to look more natural. That about sums up my ideas!
