What will be in Minecraft Caves and Cliffs part 2? We can’t wait to find out.
Published:
Get excited, folks – it’s nearly time to enjoy the Minecraft Caves and Cliffs update part two, which will allow you to see what lurks below all your pre-existing worlds.
Also known as the Minecraft 1.18 update, this big new content drop will follow on from Minecraft Caves and Cliffs Update part one (which arrived in our lives back in June).
New information about Minecraft Caves & Cliffs Part two has just arrived on the web, and you can read on to learn all about it!
When is the Minecraft Caves & Cliffs Part 2 release date and time?
The Minecraft Caves & Cliffs Part 2 release date will take place in “one to two months,” meaning it will fall in one of the final months of 2021.
This was promised by the developers during Minecraft Live 2021 on 16th October, but they didn’t state an exact date. We’ll be sure to update this part when they do.
What will be in Minecraft Caves & Cliffs Part 2?
The official Minecraft Twitter account tells us: “In Caves & Cliffs: Part II you’ll reach stunning new heights and discover deeper ways to hit rock bottom – quite literally! Our new world generation will be the perfect playground for your magnificent builds, wondrous adventures, and spectacular stories!”
There are new types of caves on the way, not surprising given the name of the update, and we know one will be called a Noise Cave. These are generated underground and have two variations named cheese and spaghetti – a great combination on the dinner plate and in Minecraft.
Also on the cave front is the Lush Cave and Dripstone Cave. The former is a temperate caved that is filled with all sorts of things from vines and moss to pore Blossoms and Azalea trees. As for the Dripstone cave, they are where the new Dripstone blocks will be located – you probably could have worked that one out for yourselves though.
There also seems to be a new bundle feature being added to Minecraft that will put the focus on inventory management. The word is that it will allow you to create bags that can hold way more items than we are used to and they can be stored in chests.
And get ready for a new style of Mountains in Minecraft 1.18. Different layers of each mountain will be made up from five new sub-biomes and we know what they are!
- Mountain Meadow (Y=100-140) – You will find flowers and sweet berry bushes here.
- Mountain Grove (Y=110-140) – Head here for polar bears and rabbits.
- Snowy Slopes (Y=140-170) – Goats live in this snowy location.
- Lofty Peaks (Y=170+) – Peaks of stone, snow, and ice await you here.
- Snow Capped Peaks (Y=170+) – If you want packed ice, this is where to go!
