The Minecraft 1.18 update is around the corner, and it will introduce eight new biomes to the game. Mojang announced the Caves and Cliffs update to be the biggest one yet. However, the developer has never added this many biomes at once, so players can't wait to get their hands on the newest patch.

Biomes are different types of regions in Minecraft. They are dependant on various natural factors like temperature, land height, water content, etc. With the new Minecraft 1.18 Caves and Cliffs update Part 2, the mountains and the caves are getting a complete renovation, with new world generation and new biomes.
