Encourage cave exploration

Diamonds should have a higher chance of spawning next to air. This will encourage cave exploration rather than strip mining. People will search caves for diamond mining because they will spawn more frequently in them, thus putting all the cave generations to good work

  Finally, someone understands that stripmining is boring. Giving ores exposed to air a chance to get deleted is the opposite direction they need to go.

  I think they're still wayyy too common, especially with caves being larger and more frequent. Diamonds aren't supposed to be a commodity, either! In the Nether, people explore the place for what it offers, not just for Debris, and I think the same will be true for Caves when they recieve underground biomes. Strip mining won't be as much of a problem as before, even if they made Diamonds only spawn behind stone.

  In the new snapshot, they made it so that Diamond ore is less likely to generate exposed o the air.

  In my opinion it was to easy previous snapshot, i like the new change. They still spawn in caves just less what makes the diamond value higher.
