List of new blocks coming in Minecraft 1.18 update

The Minecraft 1.18 update is coming soon, with loads of new changes and additions. This will also include bringing in some new blocks to Minecraft.

Mojang, the game's developer, called this update the biggest one to date. Minecraft 1.18 update will be released on November 30 on all supported platforms.

Blocks are an integral part of Minecraft. Every single item in the game is made up of pixels and blocks, and many new blocks have been introduced in the 1.17 Caves and Cliffs update Part 1.

With the Minecraft 1.18 update, Mojang is preparing to add some new blocks and increase the number of new ones added in the previous update.

Note: These blocks were already available in 1.17 but didn't generate naturally. Now, in the 1.18 update, they do so.
