worley's caves generates huge branching caves across the world that are mostly all connected and go down from the surface to about y 11,

it would make searching for ores before you have a scanner much less annoying and it would overall improve the underground

Not sure about Worley's Caves myself; I've had this mod in the past and the generated caves are indeed nice; but the world gen (masked ores in other stone-types iirc) doesn't play nice with shaders (although that definitely isn't a reason for not wanting this).

Some reasons for thinking this might not be a good plan:

• World-gen would change overall causing issues for existing servers when upgrading (not sure if this can be adjusted/prevented).
• The pack is already really heavy on the world-gen.
• E2 is nearing end-of-life and adding such a "big" change would more likely destabilize the pack than not.

I think it would cause issues on existing worlds I'm afraid, and I'd rather not add more content to E2E. Thank you for the suggestions anyway.
