When the 21w06a snapshot introduced the new cave generation in Minecraft, the new cave system that you could find below y=0 was absolutely stunning. The endless generation of huge caves filled me with joy for the moment when I would go to explore them in the official release. It really felt like something else!
Then, one snapshot later, in 21w07a, that new huge cave generation was nerfed and its chances were heavily decreased. Now it feels more like the original cave generation with just an increased y and a new type of stone below y=0 that breaks harder. The changes seem to be minimal for an update intended to change the caves and mining in Minecraft. The experience will be more like mining for netherite in a basalt biome.
Please, bring the cave generation in the first snapshot back as it makes the mining for rare ores more challenging and enjoyable at the same time and, as a balance, you can decrease the ore spawn rate.
