I had just watched TheMisterEpic's video pointing out how 1.7.2, while fixing the terrain by increasing the variety of forms that biomes could take, actually also ruined Minecraft's caves by reducing the number of caves that could be generated. Epic showed Spectator views of the older caves, but judging by the colour of the swamp water seen in his clips, I'm assuming he used a newer Minecraft version that has native Spectator mode together with one of the Swiss Cheese Cave restoration mods to show the caves.
I'm a very new player so I'm new to most of the history.
I want to see a spectator view of the actual native 1.6.4 caves to compare with 1.7 - 1.17's caves myself, without using mods that "restore" those caves in newer versions (I'd also appreciate it if there was a Spectator mod for 1.7). I've already tried exploring the caves in Creative mode, and while I do notice some difference, it's much harder to judge than being able to see them all in Spectator. I've already tried Googling for such a mod and have found nothing. Is there a mod for this?

Sorry if this is a dumb question.
