Although Dripstone Caves are one of the most dangerous biomes introduced in the Minecraft 1.18 update, it can be a great place to make an evil lair. Players can also make a secure house with pointed dripstone protecting it from hostile mobs. Various unique build ideas can come for this dangerous biome.

4) Meadow

Starkly contrasting Dripstone Caves, the newly added Meadow Biome is one of the safest and easiest biomes to build a house on. Players can get a beautiful area filled with flowers and a great background of the mountains behind them. This biome is usually generated at the foot of a mountain, hence it's the flattest of them all.

3) Jagged Peaks

One of the most difficult biomes to traverse through in the Minecraft 1.18 update is the new Jagged Peaks Biome. Players can build some really creative houses in this menacing-looking biome. One advantage of making a house on a mountain peak biome is that hardly any hostile mob or other players can reach your base easily.

Players can make small wooden huts covered with vines to give it a more authentic look.
