Generally, it is recommended to keep the number of cave shapes below 100.
A good number of shapes is 10 for diversity but performance.

## Decorations
As a final part of generating the caves, decorations can be added to add unique
structures to cave biomes.
For decorations, the following functions are defined:
- `noordstar_caves.register_decoration(decoration def)` Define a new cave decoration
- `noordstar_caves.clear_registered_decorations()` Remove all known cave decorations
The decorations are defined as follows:
```lua
{
deco_type = "simple",
-- Type. "simple" or "schematic" supported
place_on = "floor",
-- Side of the cave to place the decoration on. "floor" or "ceiling" supported
fill_ratio = 0.02,
-- Percentage of surface nodes on which this decoration will spawn
biomes = { "noordstar_caves:tundra", "foo:desert" },
-- List of (cave!) biomes that this decoration will spawn in. Occurs in all
-- biomes if this is omitted.
y_min = -31000,
y_max = 31000,
-- Lower and upper limits for decoration (inclusive).
-- These parameters refer to the Y-coordinate of the node where it is
-- originally chosen to be placed.
----- Simple-type parameters
decoration = "foo:grass",
-- The node name used as the decoration.
-- If instead a list of strings, a randomly selected node from the list
-- is placed as the decoration.
height = 1,
-- Decoration height in nodes.
-- If height_max is not 0, this is the lower limit of a randomly selected
-- height.
-- Height can not be over 16.
height_max = 0,
-- Upper limit of the randomly selected height.
-- If absent, the parameter `height` is used as a constant.
-- Max height will be capped at 16.
place_offset_y = 0,
-- Y offset of the decoration base node relative to the standard base node
-- position.
-- Can be positive or negative. Default is 0.
----- Schematic-type parameters
schematic = "foobar.mts",
-- If schematic is a string, it is the filepath relative to the correct
-- working directory of the specified Minetest schematic file.
-- Could also be the ID of a previously registered schematic.
schematic = {
size = {x = 4, y = 6, z = 4},
data = {
{name = "default:cobble", param1 = 255, param2 = 0},
{name = "default:dirt_with_grass", param1 = 255, param2 = 0},
{name = "air", param1 = 255, param2 = 0},
...
},
yslice_prob = {
{ypos = 2, prob = 128},
{ypos = 5, prob = 64},
...
},
},
-- Alternative schematic specification by supplying a table. The fields
-- size and data are mandatory whereas yslice_prob is optional.
-- See 'schematic specifier' in the Minetest Lua API documentation.
replacements = {["oldname"] = "convert_to", ...},
-- Map of node names to replace in the schematic after reading it.
flags = "place_center_x, place_center_y, place_center_z",
-- Flags for schematic decorations. See 'Schematic attributes'.
rotation = "90",
-- Rotation can be "0", "90", "180", "270", or "random"
place_offset_y = 0,
-- If the flag 'place_center_y' is set this parameter is ignored.
-- Y offset of the schematic base node layer relative to the 'place_on'
-- node.
-- Can be positive or negative. Default is 0.
-- Effect is inverted for decorations on the ceiling.
-- Ignored by 'y_min' and 'y_max' checks, which always refer to the
-- 'place_on' node.
