Dripstone Caves

The dripstone caves is a cave biome found in inland areas, filled with clusters and pillars of pointed dripstone and dripstone blocks.

Dripstone caves generate underground at any altitude beneath areas with high continentalness values (≥ 0.8), which means they are usually found far inland, and are essentially never found under ocean biomes or bordering a coast. An indicator of high continentalness is when river fjords stop generating and mountain valleys are elevated.

While dark forests, old growth taigas, bamboo jungles, wooded badlands, and taigas at temperatures of -0.450 and below are almost guaranteed to have lush caves under them, dripstone caves may generate under them instead of lush caves when they're far inland.
