When will Minecraft Caves & Cliffs update part 2 download link be available for all platforms?

Minecraft is one of the oldest gaming franchises, existing for around 12 years. In such a long history, Minecraft has received countless updates. However, none come close to the scale of the Caves and Cliffs update.

Last year, Mojang announced the Caves and Cliffs update at Minecraft Live 2020. Sadly, the company ended up biting off more than they could chew. The Caves and Cliffs update was a massive undertaking for Mojang, as it would change the entire Overworld in Minecraft.

After facing technical difficulties, Mojang had to split the update and delay world generation features. Anyways, the second phase of the Caves and Cliffs update is finally coming, as Mojang has announced the release date for the 1.18 update.
