The day has arrived and Minecraft Caves & Cliffs: Part II has officially released to the world! It is, indeed, a very special day when we all get to boot up our devices and see a new update ready to download and play. It represents years of hard work from both our team of developers, as well as the community’s continued passion for creating endless worlds in Minecraft. The update is available on all Bedrock platforms right now and we can’t wait for you to jump in and experience one of the biggest updates in Minecraft’s history. Here’s a bit of what to expect when you load into the game today:

• Increased the world height and depth, adding 50% more vertical space to build and explore
• New cave generation to explore below your existing worlds
• New cave and mountain biomes like Lush Caves and Jagged Peaks
• Drastically updated and improved biome, cave, and ore generation
• Added several new music tracks to enjoy during gameplay
• Addressed over 70 bugs, issues, and parity changes

There are the highlights. Jump in and start playing now, or if you want to see the full list of changes, read on!

New Features:

Increased World Height and Depth

• Overworld height and depth for new and existing worlds has been extended to y320 and y-64, opening up more space to explore and build in

World Blending

• Players can now update existing worlds to include the new overworld height dimensions and world generation features.
• The bedrock layer at y0 below saved chunks will be replaced with Deepslate and feature new cave generation underneath
• Biomes and terrain generating across new and existing chunk borders will blend seamlessly, creating natural-looking environmental transitions

New Terrain and Mountain Generation

• Terrain shape and elevation is no longer always determined by biome, resulting in new biome placements such as deserts on top of hills
• Mountains are taller than ever and can now generate up to a maximum height of 256 blocks

New Biomes, 3D Biome Generation, and Biome Distribution

• Added 3D biomes – cave biomes can now generate directly below surface biomes
• New cave and mountain biomes added, including Jagged Peaks, Meadows, Lush Caves and Dripstone Caves

New Cave Generation

• Added noise caves – the three primary types of noise caves are large, open Cheese Caves, wide, tunnelling Spaghetti Caves and the narrow, winding Noodle Caves
• Added aquifers – these create local level bodies of water such as flooded caves or underground lakes

Ore Distribution and Large Ore Veins

• Added large ore veins – these long formations stretch through cave systems and contain larger deposits of ore than the clusters usually found underground
• Ore distribution has been adjusted to compensate for the new world height

Mob Spawning

• Monsters will now only spawn in complete darkness. Players can spawn-proof dark areas such as caves using light sources

New Music

• Added new music by Lena Raine and Kumi Tanioka
• Added a new music disc from Lena Raine titled “otherside”. This can be found rarely in Stronghold corridor chests or much more rarely in Dungeon chests

Check out the FAQ article for a deep dive on the new features in Caves & Cliffs: Part II!

Changes:

Vanilla Experiments

• Added new “Vanilla Experiments” experimental toggle containing some blocks and items from The Wild Update, coming in 2022
  • Goat Horn
  • Sculk
  • Sculk Vein
  • Sculk Catalyst
  • Sculk Shrieker
  • Sculk Sensor
• Be sure to backup your worlds before enabling experimental toggles and see our updated FAQ on how to enable Experiments

“Old” World Type

• Removed “Old” world type from the world creation screen
• Locked Old worlds to BaseGameVersion 1.17.40
• Existing Old worlds are still playable but will not be updated with 1.18 features

Menu Panorama

• Added a new main menu panorama showing the beautiful cliffs of the Overworld

Android External Storage

• Players with external storage will be migrated to new location at start up, due to storage changes required by Google. You can still play if migration fails by closing the results window

With external storage being migrated to its new location in preparation for Google’s new API requirements, you will now lose your data if you uninstall Minecraft, unless you check the box indicating you want to keep your data. We recommend checking this box if you wish to keep your worlds in the event you choose to reinstall Minecraft

Known Issues:

• New world generation in this release is currently incompatible with the ‘Creation of Custom Biomes’ experimental toggle. Expect worlds with custom biome generation to be potentially unstable and for custom biomes to only exist in currently saved out areas of the world.

World generation for the Minecraft Overworld has changed entirely with this release. This means old seeds will no longer spawn players in the same positions when playing 1.18. If creators are version locked to an old version of the game, their seeds will generate worlds as they were prior to 1.18.
