New blocks will bring an entirely different feel to the caves in Caves & Cliffs. Lush Cave blocks allow players to create vibrant green caves with lots of vegetation and life. Unfortunately, Lush Caves won’t generate on their own just yet, but players can still get a look at what Lush Caves will be like. YouTuber PixlRiffs demonstrated the new features Lush Caves bring to Minecraft, first showing glow berries, which can light up an area and delight foxes. PixlRiffs then celebrated moss, which now has its very own block and doesn’t need to be attached to something like cobblestone.
Additionally, Powdered Snow blocks have reached the end of their development. Even though they’ve been available for a few months, Powdered Snow blocks have new features in Caves & Cliffs. For example, fire arrows will extinguish after passing through Powdered Snow blocks, and Zombies left in the snow for too long will turn into skeletal Strays. Foxes can now adorably traverse Powdered Snow blocks as well.
Glow lichen will also be available to modify standard blocks in Caves & Cliffs, shining light on dim surroundings and providing yet another light source in Minecraft.
