Something I would welcome seeing in the future sometime is an option for cave frequency (ex. Realistically, it is what it is - might as well keep an open hopeful mind :smile.gif: Minecraft is different for everyone, but in the case of level generation, this shoe isn't one size fits all. Some of us like the aspect of adventure, and some like to mine their own tunnels, some yet in between. Using terrain gen mods / different versions of Minecraft are 2 ways of mitigating the issue. I know that things are likely not to change because of the code freeze and official release. A few are little pockets, or 5 minute stops, but an overwhelming majority put the Japanese transportation network to shame! There seems to be little middle ground for cave size.

Around the 30 altitude mark lies vast expanses of Abandoned Mineshafts and interconnected caves, spanning in some cases over 3 kilometers long in a continuous network. Running Cartograph and Minecraft X-Ray scans for the 10 experimental worlds I generated recently shows that in numerous chunks, the frequency of Air blocks actually somehow outnumbers the Stone.

I used to be stoked like Indiana Jones when I found a cavern that took me more than a half hour to explore, but since around Beta 1.5, and especially after 1.8, that feeling has pretty much reversed in itself

I'm talking large enough to spend half an IRL day on, fuel the world's furnace demands with coal, and fill chests with iron BLOCKS just by spelunking alone It seems to me that almost every time I attempt to build an underground mine network or structure, I run into a GIGANOURMOUS MONSTER cave network. TL DR - Do you think there are more caves than before? Almost every cave I run into is sickeningly enormous!
