Noodle caves could be more fun

Noodle caves look cool but in practice are a thing I would never want to traverse unless I saw diamonds or needed to light it for a mob farm. Vertically they are super steep and tall requiring lots of blocks to climb. And horizontally you have to dig a ton of blocks to keep traveling. Perhaps make them a bit wider so that horizontal travel is less digging. And less vertical so that it's more of a climb than a straight block up events
