Spaghetti caves are long, wide tunnels, while noodle caves are narrow and winding. Cheese caves are huge, open spaces that were previously unimaginable. They're not actually full of delicious pasta, though. Underground, you'll find Lush Caves and Dripstone caves, which fall into a few different configurations including Cheese Caves, Spaghetti Caves, and Noodle Caves. This includes a variety of new biomes, both above and below ground. To help make this new generation work, the game now features improved biome blending, letting borders between different biome chunks blend more seamlessly. This is truly a game-changing update that makes the world much easier and more fun to explore while also changing how we can approach both building and mining. Similarly, caves have always been integral to Minecraft, but now they're as much fun to look at as they are to mine-and a lot easier to mine as well. The way biomes and terrain tie together has changed as well, making for more interesting combinations of the two. The mountains you can find now have proper peaks, and cliffsides can have truly dizzying drops.

The best Minecraft did before when it came to mountains was something more like a big hill. This update is called Caves and Cliffs, and that's for a good reason. Thanks in part to the increased world depth, much more diverse world generation is possible, and Mojang has put a ton of work into letting Minecraft generate bigger, more interesting worlds with more natural changes in elevation. New world generation and blendingĪnd that's the core of this update. This even works in existing Minecraft worlds, but areas you've already explored will have one of the new blocks, Deepslate, below that 0 marker, instead of bedrock, down to the -64 line where bedrock now sits. This update increases the total depth by 64 blocks above and below-going from -64 to 320-to support not just much bigger builds, but bigger terrain as well. Previously, world height went from 0 (the very bottom where you hit bedrock), up to 255. It all starts with the increased world height. Here's everything to know about Caves and Cliffs Part 2. This is arguably the most substantial update to Minecraft since it hit 1.0 so long ago, as it completely transforms the way world generation works. Here, we'll focus on the Bedrock version and what's new inside this update. The second part of an update that was initially meant to come out this summer has now landed, making both parts 1 & 2 of the Caves and Cliffs update available to all Minecraft players on both Bedrock and Java.
