# Amplified world generation without excessive flooded caves

This datapack changes the noise parameters to remove flooded caves in amplified world generation.
It achieves this by increasing the terrain density (= more stone/dirt) around y=46,
which cuts off most surface water from the cave systems.
It shouldn't make it harder to find caves since some seemingly ignore the inital density generation.

                "to_y": 46
            }
        }
    },
    "argument2": {
        ... vanilla noise expression ...
    }
}
```

## Removing all flooded caves

It is also possible to remove normal flooded caves by decreasing the `fluid_level_floodedness` noise.
