This datapack removes the large caves that were added in 1.18<\/p>\n

Since removing the new caves greatly lowers the amount of caves in general, the amount of old caves has also been increased.<\/p>\n

Aquifers have also been turned off, since they don’t really generate well in the old caves. Water-filled caves still exist below oceans, rivers and lakes, since afaik there is no easy way to remove them.<\/p>\n

Note that mojang changed the way the old caves generate in 1.18, so caves aren’t exactly as they were in 1.17 and before.<\/p>\n
