Frozen peaks in Minecraft 1.18 update: All you need to know

After a long wait, Minecrafters finally received the fascinating Caves & Cliffs Part II update. The 1.18 release changed the Overworld's terrain generation forever. The new extreme terrain led to a 50% increase in the world build limit.

Mountains are divided into two varieties - slopes and peaks. Out of the six-mountain biomes, frozen peaks are the prettiest in Minecraft.
