Deep caves need more block variety.

The caves above y=0 look quite nice and have a good variety of blocks, but the deep caves are composed solely of deepslate, and blobs of tuff. I think that the look of these caves could greatly benefit from an additional block or too. Perhaps patches of lava and basalt mixed together.

    100% agreed. Also the toughness of deepslate makes this even worse. Also, now with ore gen few diamonds generate in the caves (one ore if you're lucky), and on top of that mining the old way completely sucks because of deepslate. Ngl I completely dislike the whole game mechanics so far. Sure it's pretty, but it isn't playable as Minecraft, the game we know.

    I wholeheartedly disagree with the top comment. Diamonds are not that rare at all. Without the decreased air exposure (Bedrock 1.17.30), I once found 23 Diamonds in around an hour of cave exploration. Assuming 50% or even 25% of those Diamonds, I would have found at least 6 Diamonds within my exploration; didn't even take that long. That's besides the fact that the new caves are very immersive and much more enjoyable to explore (same applies for surface gen), at least from my experience, and I'm sure most people agree given the overall feedback I've read.
