Which devices are getting Minecraft 1.18 update?

One of the major reasons behind Minecraft's success is its availability on a wide variety of devices. Minecraft has two different editions: Java and Bedrock.

Minecraft 1.18 is the second phase of the Caves and Cliffs update announced at Minecraft Live 2020. It will bring the world generation features that failed to make their way into the 1.17 update released last July.

In version 1.18, players will see a clear change in the terrain generation of the Overworld. The average height of the surface level will be increased in this update. Along with that, players will also find many new mountain biomes.

Below the ground, players will find themselves exploring lush caves and taking risky ventures into dripstone caves. Developers have introduced noise caves which add three new cave types: cheese, spaghetti, and noodles.

A few anticipated features won't be coming with the Minecraft 1.18 update. Goat horns, bundles and archeology will arrive in future updates. These features won't be a part of The Wild Update either.
