New music and other features of the Minecraft 1.18 update
With the Minecraft 1.18 update, new music tracks for the main menu and the Overworld (Survival mode only) are introduced. These are already present in the test versions of the upcoming patch, and fans have so far loved them.
A new music disc named "Otherside" is also being added, obtained from the chests of dungeons and strongholds.
This update also boasts four new advancements related to the Caves & Cliffs. Many players were not expecting new advancements to be added, as the first Caves & Cliffs update already introduced eleven of them. Sadly, no new achievements will be added to the Bedrock Edition.
