Description

Subsurface adds 11 new cave biomes to the overworld and nether. Subsurface cave biomes can generate inside of other vanilla cave biomes, creating hybrid cave biomes, and are compatible with almost all other datapacks/mods.
Cave Biomes
Icicle Caves
Icicle caves can spawn under snowy non-mountain biomes. They contain Icicles on the celling and the floor, and ice patches, which have blue ice if they replace deepslate. Aquifers in this cave biome are frozen over. Be careful when placing torches, as they could melt the ice and wash the torches away.
Sand Caves
Sand caves can spawn under the desert biome. They contain sand and sandstone patches. Some of the sand spawns floating, so be careful not to cause a cave-in.
