The Minecraft 1.18 update, titled Caves & Cliffs Part II, was the biggest update for the iconic sandbox title. This update pushed the Overworld generation beyond limits by making monumental changes like world height increase, massive mountain biomes, the addition of cave biomes, and more.

While most of the player base was excited for the second phase of Caves & Cliffs, some were worried about the specification requirements of version 1.18. The new terrain generation in Caves & Cliffs Part 2 is undoubtedly drastic compared to the older versions.

Many players have encountered lag in the latest version of Minecraft. Luckily, players can use mods to make the Caves & Cliffs experience bearable in low-end devices.


Minecraft optimization mods for Caves & Cliffs Part II

5) Better FPS - Render Distance

A large part of the performance issues in Minecraft Caves & Cliffs Part II is caused because of the game loading giant caves. In a rendered chunk, the game loads all blocks from Y -64 to 320, which puts stress on the PC.

Better FPS - Render Distance mod changes the way render distance works. Instead of loading the world in a square shape, this mod causes the game to load worlds in an oval shape. Because of this, the massive caves underneath the surface will cause fewer performance problems.
