Even though the much-awaited Minecraft Java Edition snapshot will not be released today, Mojang has released a beta update for the Bedrock Edition.
Minecraft Beta 1.18.0.20 is the first-ever 1.18 beta in which the Caves & Cliffs features are no longer under the Experimental Features tab. Before this version, all betas had these features under the Experimental Features tab.
The beta update can be installed on Windows 10, Xbox One, and Android devices.
Minecraft Bedrock beta 1.18.0.20
Caves & Cliffs
- All features related to Caves & Cliffs have now been removed from the Experimental features tab. The world generated in the game will now automatically have those features.
- The new world generation is currently incompatible with the "Creation of Custom Biomes feature experiment. Mojang has said that players should expect worlds with custom biome generation to be unstable and for custom biomes to only exist in currently saved-out areas of the world.
- Ore generation has been changed to be in parity with Minecraft Java Edition.
- An issue that was preventing large trees from growing below Y0 has now been fixed.
- As a part of lush caves, small dripleafs are now generated.
