•Mountains are taller than ever and can now generate up to a maximum height of 256 blocks
•Added 3D biomes — cave biomes can now generate directly below surface biomes
•New cave and mountain biomes added, including Jagged Peaks, Meadows, Lush Caves and Dripstone Caves
•Added noise caves — the three primary types of noise caves are large, open Cheese Caves, wide, tunnelling Spaghetti Caves and the narrow, winding Noodle Caves

•Added large ore veins — these long formations stretch through cave systems and contain larger deposits of ore than the clusters usually found underground
