Snapshot: Cheese Caves

The newest snapshot introduces cheese caves — enormous, pillar-dotted caverns that generate below Y = 0 in deepslate regions.

Snapshot highlights

• Cheese cave generation: irregular domed caverns with frequent 2-block cheese-holes and stalagmite-stalactite pairs.
• Slime spawn bonus: slime chunks inside cheese caves spawn up to 2× faster; swamp slimes also spawn on cheese-floor blocks.
• Frog variant: a new pale frog spawns on the cavern floor and eats slimes for froglight.
• Performance: cavern rendering is much cheaper than 1.21 dripstone caves — expect better FPS.
