Minecraft 1.18 Caves and Cliffs update will change the Overworld forever. It is the biggest update Minecraft has ever received in its decade-long history.
Minecraft 1.18 update will bring many new caves and sub-mountain biomes. Along with new biomes, the overall terrain generation in the Overworld is also getting a major overhaul. Mountains will now generate up to a tall height of Y 260, while caves will reach a depth of Y -59.
The upcoming update will change the way players used to get resources by mining in Minecraft. While mining methods like strip mining will still be viable, players will face some new problems.
Reasons why Minecraft Caves & Cliffs Part 2 will change mining forever
5) Ore distribution change

<p>Below Y 0, players will find deepslate everywhere instead of stone in the 1.18 update. Players who have played Minecraft 1.17 may have found deepslate ores during mining. Deepslate cannot be mined instantly like stone blocks with Efficiency V and Haste effect.</p>
<p>Due to this, mining sessions now may become longer than they used to be. Players will also have to spend more time mining a chunk when building a slime farm or perimeter.</p>
