Big Caves are a bit rare.

In the current snapshot 21w07a. they reduced the amount of big caves that spawn.(understandable in a way since it was a lot of cave. but it seems that the big caves are a bit to rare as of 21w07a. been flying around and barely could find anything and when found it wasn't that impressive as last week snapshot. hope it can get tweaked soon to be a bit more. otherwise excellent work on the snapshots!

    I agree, I personally loved the big caves filled with aquifers at different levels and pillars seemingly holding up the ceiling, it just felt so magical. But today I was flying around and couldn't find any :/

    I 100% agree, the new huge caves looked amazing, especially with the different levelled aquifers, and now they have almost vanished for no reason whatsoever.

    I agree, like even though they might be big caves they dont really feel impressive at all anymore, last snapshot the size of the caves was perfect, but now even in big caves roof is like half the size and cant find ones where can enjoy flying with elytra for a while, feels kinda cramped atm. Hope getting the sizes back

    Absolutely agree. They are hard to find even in spectator mode. 21w06 was so fascinating with you being able to stumble upon a big cave almost at any time. The only issue is that sometimes they were so big that they almost had no end. Now you can't find them at all, which makes it quite boring to traverse in the underground.

    Agreed big caves are too rare now they were much better in the last snapshot. If they went back to like 75% of the previous snapshot's generation that would probably be about perfect.

    Agreed. A good way to balance it would be about halfway between the two snapshots in terms of rarity, and make the 21w06a scale caves be possible again.

    Strongly agree!
    The previous snapshot has amazing big caves landscapes that like you said, are too rare to see right now.
    It was hard to light up that zones, but it's like they are complety removed from the game.

    To be honest, if there weren’t massive gashes in the surface world and hollow mountains everywhere, I wouldn’t mind the frequency of the big caves. If the option is all or nothing, I’ll take nothing over being unable to play survival without falling into holes or failing to make a build without terraforming an ugly gapping pit of darkness every 100 blocks. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
