Slime chunks need work!!

In 1.17 with the new cave generation there can be situations where many slime chunks are now in giant open cave systems. This makes building a cave base difficult as you not only have to deal with light levels, but also need every block in the area to be opaque. I belive slime chunks should be far fewer in between one for base building playability, mob count lag issues, over abundance of easily obtained slime. It used to be a challenge to find slime, now its in almost every cave.

    I wouldn't mind slimes being more common. Instead of slime chunks they should have a special biome like the Lush Caves and Dripstone Caves. Heck, they could just have slimes spawn in Dripstone Caves normally, since it sort of makes sense that way.

    a "Slimy Caves" Sub-biome sound like an interesting solution to slime chunks. Would deffo support, although it would probably break many slime farms including mine, but who cares?! More interesting content to play with, which is more intuitive than external tools to look for the best location for slime chunk concentrations.

    limiting the spawning height to between 0-40 again would be a quick fix and return the slime spawning back to normal.

    the idea of a slime biome sounds great too, no more artificially scanning for chunk borders or going to slime chunk finder websites. just don't use the lush caves for that. i think a lot of players want to build in those and we would be back to being annoyed by slimes.
