They can now go as high as Y level 256, the previous build limit. With that in mind, the way that mountains can now generate makes them very likely to feature as one of the new biomes.Snowy Slopes, Jagged Peaks, Frozen Peaks, and Stony Peaks are highly likely to be found at the top of a mountain after the update.Mountain biomes can be precarious (Image via Minecraft)3) One biome has an achievementIf players stumble across the new Meadows biome, they need to remember where it is. Minecraft released four new achievements for the 1.18 update. One of them, "Sound of Music", tasks players with playing a music disc in the new Meadows biome, so players will need to revisit it.Meadows is one of the newest biomes and has an achievement (Image via Minecraft)2) New caves are dangerousThe new cave biomes, not including Lush Caves, are much more dangerous. Cheese Caves are huge and feature deep drops, which can kill players with fall damage. Both Spaghetti and Noodle Caves are thin and very difficult to traverse.Windows Central Gaming@WCGamingTweetsA new Minecraft: Java Edition snapshot introduces the brand-new noodle cave formation. 🍜windowscentral.com/minecraft-java…12:05 PM · Apr 28, 2021233A new Minecraft: Java Edition snapshot introduces the brand-new noodle cave formation. 🍜windowscentral.com/minecraft-java…1) Lush Caves can't spawn axolotlsAll other caves can, but Lush Caves cannot spawn axolotls. Lush Caves are arguably the best part of the update, but that is a definite downside to them.
