Sulfur Caves generate much smaller than other cave biomes

The new Sulfur Caves biome sometimes generate much smaller than other cave biomes, not spreading out nearly as far as Lush Caves, Dripstone Caves, and the Deep Dark.

  • Steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Create a brand new world on the latest snapshot

  2. Locate a Sulfur Cave using /locate biome

  3. Compare the size of the Sulfur Cave to any nearby cave biome. Example: Lush Caves

  • Expected result:

The Sulfur Caves should be around the size of the other cave biomes, spreading out much farther than they do now.

  • Actual result:

The Sulfur Caves generate very small on average, resulting in them being difficult to find and explore.

Below I have provided images showcasing the small scale of Sulfur Caves, and a Lush Cave that is much larger in scale.

I cannot confirm this issue; you seem to just have gotten unlucky with the specific worlds and locations you visited.
It is very possible to find large sulfur caves, as demonstrated from this world I just created:
