The first part of one of the most significant update in the history of Minecraft has been released by Mojang, leaving the players curious about the other half.
As so many new changes have been made in the latest update, everyone is even more thrilled and elevated about the version 1.18 of the game, which is going to be the second phase of the Caves & Cliffs update.
Like the 1.16 and 1.17 updates, the 1.18 version will bring major changes and numerous new features including a new block named Sculk block and a new mob called the Warden.

Known features and additions coming in the Minecraft 1.18 update
Sculk Block

<p>The Warden is going to be the first-ever blind mob in Minecraft. Just like the sculk blocks, the Warden can sense vibrations, and based on what we’ve seen from the <a href=)
Minecon 2020, the Warden seems to be hostile towards the player as long as it can sense its footsteps.
Luckily, the players can avoid a terrifying battle with the Warden as long as they hide their footsteps by sneaking. If they find a warden in the deep dark, they can divert it by throwing projectiles like snowballs and arrows, as the warden can sense the vibrations of these projectiles hitting the ground. The Warden is an incredibly strong mob with a total health of 15 hearts and can bring a player with full netherite armor’s health down to 3 and a half hearts in a single blow.
New world generation changes
Two new Cave changes will be introduced to Minecraft with the Caves & Cliffs update part 2.
Deep Dark Biome
Mojang has not revealed much information about this new cave biome apart from what they have shown in the Minecon 2020 live stream. The new mob called Warden will spawn, the new sculk blocks can also be found in this biome and this biome also contains deepslate. This biome may have candles.
Mesh Caves
Mesh Caves is not a new biome but a specific type of cave coming in the update. Henrik Kniberg, a game developer and designer for Minecraft, confirmed the existence of this type of cave on Twitter. These caves are going to be thin and long, and therefore Henrik Kniberg called them noodle-like caves on Twitter.
