It has been more than 12 years since Minecraft's first release. The upcoming Minecraft 1.18 update is bringing a much-awaited Overworld makeover.
The entire Overworld will change after Caves and Cliffs Part 2 releases. It brings beautiful mountains and deep caves to the Overworld.
The 1.18 update features most of the delayed world generation features announced at Minecraft Live 2021. Mojang will release Minecraft 1.18 in a few days, and players can download the update right after its release.

Players will have a better chance at discovering new caves and mountains in new worlds. As for the old worlds, new caves will generate below Y level 0 in old chunks since the old bedrock layer at the bottom of the Overworld will get replaced by deepslate. Players will still have to visit new chunks to find sub-mountain biomes.
