Mojang showcased the beautiful lush caves at the Minecon 2020 live event. Many players are looking for lush caves in their survival worlds, but sadly they will fail as the lush caves haven't been implemented in the standard world generation.

Step 1: Go to Create New World

The first step is to Create New World. Click on the "Singleplayer" button on the menu screen.

Similarly, players can also create a single biome world with dripstone biomes. Many players may be disappointed as the lush caves are not implemented in the 1.17 update.

The good news is players can still get lush cave blocks in the regular world. Moss blocks can be found in shipwreck loot chests, whereas glow berries are common in minecart chests found in mineshafts. Using bonemeal, players can farm both of these items.
