Top 3 ways to reach Caves in Minecraft 1.18 update

Finding these new caves in the Minecraft 1.18 update can also be fun for players. Here are the three easiest ways to reach Caves in Minecraft 1.18 update:

3) Mining underground

This is the most conventional way to find and reach a cave in Minecraft. For years, players have mined billions of blocks underground and found all sorts of caves in the game. This is one of the most tried and tested ways to find new caves in Minecraft 1.18 update.

Players can now dig deeper than Y level 0 (where the old bedrock layer was present) to find new caves generated in the Minecraft 1.18 update. However, this process of reaching caves can be tedious and least fun.

2) Caves inside Mountains

Mountains in the game were also changed in the Minecraft 1.18 update with new biomes and terrain overhaul. Another exciting part about mountains was that some of them can be completely hollow, housing a vast cave inside them.

Players can notice specific cave openings in mountains through which they can reach huge caves. Not all mountains will be hollow, but players can find new caves inside them.

For years, ravines were always feared by players in Minecraft. These are huge cracks on the ground that can go deep underground. With the Minecraft 1.18 update, these ravines are getting even bigger.

Ravines and holes in the ground can take players down into the new caves. This is one of the best ways to reach caves as players can discover a huge hole, which can gradually take them down. Some of these ravines and holes go all the way down to the bedrock layer at Y level -64.
