You ever thought: this should be in a cave? Here is your dream. ONLY CAVES
What is a surface? I only know CAVE
You can find things like:

The rainbow cave:

The ocean?

I knew it looked better in the Caves!

Actual Description:
This PR adds a world preset where the surface generator is removed. This makes surface biomes generate with the cave generator.
No new biomes are added. Its just that surface biomes are generated inside caves. biome map etc is still the same.

They do exist in that world! For example the "I knew it looked better in the Caves!" is under water and in a cave

In the ocean the Phantasmal Biome has enough space to be big and open and have interesting terrain interactions and mountainous terrain. In a cave you won't get that. It just looks objectively better in the ocean anyways. Also it's the only thing underwater worth seeing.

I don't quite understand your sentence here. But this preset does generate completly flooded caves

My intention was more to go deeper into the joke. Its not my actual opinion that it looks better in the caves

Ah. I see now (:
I'm just kind of confused on what the PR does in general, the description could describe a little bit more. I think it is a world preset isn't it?

Well, yeah, that's a cave world alright. It's definitely a little jank with the magic sunlight appearing in the caves and the weird generation above the surface, but that's kinda the fun of it i guess.
And it's just one file so it's not like it's creating a bunch of extra work. I'll leave it up to Quantum.

I think it's nice, but also quite niche.
I think we shouldn't add too many world presets. I'd be happy to approve this once we have a selection box for this #1920
