The Minecraft Caves & Cliffs update was announced last year at Minecraft Live 2020. It was going to be the biggest update in the game's history, but the developers decided to divide it into two parts.
The second part of the update (Minecraft 1.18) is the most exciting one bringing the new cave and mountain changes. Sadly, quite a few of its announced features, including the deep dark cave, have been removed.

What features have been removed from Minecraft 1.18?
One of the scariest and most exciting cave biomes, the deep dark, showcased at Minecraft Live 2020 has been held back. Along with it, the Warden, sculk blocks, archeology, goat horns, and bundles will not be released this year.
All of these features will come in the next major update, Minecraft 1.19, in 2022. Readers can learn more about what else is coming in the 1.19 update from here.
What is coming in Minecraft 1.18 update?
Lots of new world generation features will be introduced with the second part of the Caves & Cliffs update. Biomes and terrain generation have been made smoother, and a few new features such as aquifers have been added.
The caves will no longer feel the same because of the new biomes, and climbing mountains will be more fun and exciting.
New music for the main menu and Overworld (survival mode only) has been added, and a new music disc titled "Otherside" can be found in chests of strongholds and slightly less often in chests of dungeons.
