Caves in Minecraft 1.18 update: Top 5 things to know about them
Caves in this update are getting completely revamped. Here are 5 things to know about the caves in Minecraft 1.18 update:
5) Ore veins
Ore veins are rarely generated clusters of ore blocks in Minecraft. These will be coming in with the new Minecraft 1.18 update. Finding one of these ore veins is difficult, but if players find them, they can yield stacks of that particular ore.
4) Bedrock layer pushed down
For the first time in Minecraft, the bedrock layer in the Overworld is shifting down from y=0 to y= -64. This is huge for the gameplay as players will have 64 extra levels underground to explore. The old bedrock blocks from the previous version will turn into deepslate and players can mine deeper.
3) Dripstone Caves
Dripstone Cave Biome is a brand new biome coming with the Minecraft 1.18 update. The cave biome will feature loads of Dripstone blocks and pointed dripstone emerging from the blocks. It is an extremely dangerous biome to traverse through as players can take damage from pointed dripstones.
2) Lush Caves
Lush Caves Biome is another new biome added with the Minecraft 1.18 update. This magical-looking biome will feature vegetation inside a cave for the first time. Glowberries, Dripleaves, Spore blossoms, Azelea bushes and moss blocks will be generated in this biome. Also, this is the only biome where players can find Axolotls.
1) Huge cave generation
One of the most noticeable changes in caves will be their enormity. With the Minecraft 1.18 update, the caves are getting a lot bigger. Players will experience new humongous cave systems which can go from the surface level all the way to bedrock. These caves will contain huge lava pools and aquafiers as well.
