This datapack changes Minecraft's noise parameters to remove flooded caves in amplified world generation. It achieves this by increasing the terrain density (= more stone/dirt) around y=46, which cuts off most surface water from the cave systems. It shouldn't make it harder to find caves since some seemingly ignore the inital density generation.

As you can see, some flooding near the surface remains. I believe that can be corrected by tweaking the y level of my fix, but that will also lead to more terrain changes.

It is also possible to remove normal flooded caves by decreasing the fluid_level_floodedness noise.
