In short, I don't like being in a world that looks like swiss cheese. Massive holes on the sides of mountains and 3x3 bottomless holes of death make what would otherwise be a pretty nice location be a minefield that I have to patch up.

I'm not against caves, but I would tone down the generation to 10% of what it is now.

Really, go into creative, activate no-clip, and look under your base. You likely have a cave system that looks like an ant colony running across entire biomes.

Edit: I've been able to get great results by using Wilderlands Cave Systems and editing the config file as recommended by u/Dragoncaster64 , so I consider this issue solved.
