Minecraft 1.18 is the biggest update to Minecraft since the Nether update in 2020. It adds a ton of new features and changes some major aspects of the game, including a total revamp to Minecraft's terrain generation, ore distribution, mountains, and caves. It also adds some new biomes related to both caves and mountains.
While the world generation has changed significantly, and chances of encountering the new features added by Minecraft 1.18 are quite high, some players might want to get a little headstart as far as the new biomes and structures are concerned. Fortunately, this can be done by playing on certain seeds, which generate the aforementioned new features in easy-to-locate areas.
