Is Minecraft 1.18 confirmed?

Minecraft 1.18 Release Date CONFIRMED!

Minecraft 18 Caves & Cliffs update part 2

Sadly, no specific date of release of the Caves & Cliffs part 2 update has been revealed. However, in one of their articles, Mojang announced that the update would arrive in late 2021.

Minecrafters are expecting the update to be released during the winter holidays.

Snapshots are testing versions of the game released before every major update. Once released, gamers can try out the upcoming features and report any glitches in the game.

Mojang has announced that normal snapshots for version 1.18 will be released somewhere around September. For now, players can test some of the world generation changes in the experimental snapshots and beta versions of Minecraft.

Minecraft 18 update release date

The Minecraft 1.18 release date is out now. Mojang revealed the official Minecraft 1.18 launch date via a tweet a few weeks after the Minecraft Live 2021 stream.

World generation[]

Completely overhauled.

Now stretch down to Y=-64.

The caves now generate in 2 layers of different stone bases depending on the depth.

• The layer above Y=8 is made up of regular stone.
• Stone transitions to deepslate from Y=8 to Y=0.
• Deepslate completely replaces stone from Y=0 to bedrock.
  • Certain types of ores and structures still generate in the deepslate layer, as well as tuff and gravel.
  • Dirt, diorite, granite and andesite do not generate in this layer.

Biomes such as the dripstone caves and lush caves now generate in the underground.

Contain aquifers, bodies of water with different heights, independent of sea level (Y=63).

• Aquifers below Y=0 sometimes generate with lava instead of water.

Improved old caves to blend in with the new generations of caves better

New noise caves, coming in 3 forms, “cheese”, “spaghetti”, and “noodle”.

• Cheese caves have large stone towers stretching from the bottom of the cave to the top, and are often large enough to allow safe elytra flight.
• Spaghetti caves are long, thin caves that have small aquifers and are more similar to original caves.
• Noodle caves are thinner, squigglier, and more claustrophobic variants of spaghetti caves.

The biomes and terrain from old and new chunks now seamlessly blend, preventing the hard cut borders from before. Any player-made structures in these chunks may either be intact, buried, or deteriorated.

Several checks are made on the previous bedrock layer to determine whether or not a chunk should generate new terrain below.

• The game first checks if there is any bedrock at Y=0.
  • If bedrock is detected, the game then checks if each column in a chunk has air at Y=0. New terrain generates only under columns with non-air blocks.
  • If there is no bedrock whatsoever at Y=0, the whole chunk does not get new terrain below.

The old bedrock layer between Y=0 and Y=4 in old chunks gets replaced with deepslate.

• A new bedrock layer is placed between Y=-64 and Y=-60.
