Mojang is working on the most anticipated Minecraft update in the game's history. The upcoming 1.18 update, titled Caves and Cliffs Part 2, brings significant changes to the Overworld.
Caves and mountains have received no major update in a long time. Mojang is finally bringing massive tweaks and new features to these natural structures beyond anybody's imagination.
The Minecraft 1.18 update will introduce much-awaited caves, sub-mountain biomes, and many other world-generation features.
The developers have already released multiple snapshots and beta versions with the new world generation in the Overworld. Snapshots are made for Java Edition, whereas Bedrock Edition receives the latter.
