    If you want a more natural cave you can add plants. But not all plants fits into each area and to each other.

    So I made plant-setups for different biomes. It's just an example which plants will fit into the landscape-scheme. Like always count: Experimenting with blocks and colours:

    Uhm... pretty dark here, isn't it? ^^ focus onto the signs into this screenshots to figure out on which places mushrooms feels happy:

    Mushrooms have a very fast population, so you wouldn't see them often alone:

    And in small places they are save from animals and humans they could trample on it or eat them:

    Would you build a forest? It's similar to building a cave in point of using different blocks and plants:

    So, now I think we played the gardener long enough and we are happy with our work:

    Optional Step: -Make A Lake-
    ______________________________________________________________________
    ​
    I'm a fan of underwater-caves with diving paths. You too? Then I'll show you here how to make a lake or river into your cave.
    As first we need any     blokc we can differentiate from the other blocks we have used to build our cave.
    I decided myself to use white wool to build the floor     one block layer below the layer where the lake/river layer should begin...

    ...and filled out the layer     beyond the wool-blocks with water:

    Now I have a     plain surface with still Water. You know, still waters are deep...
    So the water will     flow down and fill out the cave below:

    Some pits     wouldn't get flooded by the Water, if there is a block beyond them. In this case you can fix this trough place water in each pit:
