Here's a list of features players can expect to see when the update goes live.What Minecraft players can expect to see when Caves & Cliffs Part 2 goes liveCaves & CliffsPrimarily, they will see tons of changes to mountains and caves. New cave biomes, like lush caves, will appear, and caves will now go deeper than ever before. With bedrock no longer at level 0, -64 is the lowest level in the game. Furthermore, mountains will be taller and more vast.Minecraft Updates@MCPEBeta_infoThe 1.18 Caves and Cliffs Update Part II is releasing TODAY for all Java and Bedrock platforms! #CavesandCliffs #Minecraft #MCPERETWEET if your excited!!!2:08 AM · Nov 30, 20211383380The 1.18 Caves and Cliffs Update Part II is releasing TODAY for all Java and Bedrock platforms! #CavesandCliffs #Minecraft #MCPERETWEET if your excited!!! https://t.co/UgvxCLYIBvOre generationOne of the biggest changes is going to involve ore generation. Diamonds will now be much more common than ever before. It was jokingly mentioned to be as common as iron now, but that will obviously need to be verified when the update is live.Mob spawningFortunately, the exploration of caves will be getting safer and easier. Hostile mobs will now only spawn at a light level of 0, so it has to be pretty dark for them to begin spawning. Miners can now mine in peace with a torch to provide them with safety.Hostile mobs will now spawn only when there is no light (Image via Minecraft)Axolotl spawnAxolotls typically spawn in caves near water. However, following the 1.18 update, they will not spawn in lush caves, which is a brand new cave biome being added today. Axolotls will still spawn in other cave biomes and behave similarly, but they just won't be found in lush caves.Call Me Jero 🎗️@TehPitchMakerSometimes they're just looking at you confusely and asking yourself why this axolotl is cyan...#minecraft9:36 AM · Nov 24, 2021123Sometimes they're just looking at you confusely and asking yourself why this axolotl is cyan...#minecraft https://t.co/wrrjkdkNhZMiscellaneous changesPillagers won't attack baby villagers now, proving that they do have a semblance of a heart. Shears can stop various vines from growing with the exception of normal vines. Conduits can only be mined with a pickaxe now. Buried treasures can have water-breathing potions as part of their loot pool. Finally, horses will follow Minecraft players when they are holding a golden apple or golden carrot.
