Subsurface adds 11 new cave biomes to the overworld and nether. Subsurface cave biomes can generate inside of other vanilla cave biomes, creating hybrid cave biomes, and are compatible with almost all other datapacks/mods.

Cave Biomes

Icicle Caves

Icicle caves can spawn under snowy non-mountain biomes. They contain Icicle on the celling and the floor, and ice patches, which have blue ice if they replace deepslate. Aquifers in this cave biome are frozen over. Be careful when placing torches, as they could melt the ice and wash the torches away.

Sand Caves

Sand caves can spawn under the desert biome. They contain sand and sandstone patches. Some of the sand spawns floating, so be careful not to cause a cave-in.

This datapack uses its own system to generate cave biomes. It makes this datapack compatible with almost any other datapack, but it means there is no way to determine whether or not you are in a Subsurface cave biome. It also means that Subsurface cave biomes can generate inside of other vanilla cave biomes, creating hybrid cave biomes.
