Minecraft 1.18, titled Caves and Cliffs Part two, is the next major update due for release in late 2021. The long-awaited caves and mountains are finally coming to Minecraft.
Summary Minecraft 1.18 Update Caves & Cliffs Part Two Expected Features Guardian Experimental SnapshotsMojang announced the split of the Caves and Cliffs update earlier this year as the entire team was severely affected by the global pandemic. Thinking about the quality of the game and the health of the team, Mojang decided to postpone the technically difficult part for a second update.
On June 8, the first part of Caves and Cliffs was officially released, featuring new mobs, blocks, and items. However, the update was disappointing for some players as there were no new biomes. Because of this, players are eagerly awaiting the release of the Minecraft 1.18 update.
Minecraft Update 1.18 Caves & Cliffs Part Two
Expected characteristics
At the Minecon 2020 Live event, Mojang showcased many features that will come in the Minecraft Caves & Cliffs update. Many of the features in 1.18 were already available but were removed due to bugs and lag spikes.
The upcoming update 1.18 will change the entire overworld generation. Players will find cave biomes and mountain biomes. Due to the former, Mojang had to introduce the concept of 3D biomes.
Along with the new biomes, the developers also tweaked the overall generation, adding noise caves and changing the terrain formation.
The world generation isn't the only thing getting an upgrade in the 1.18 update. Redstone in Minecraft is also changing forever with the addition of sculpting sensors. Soon, wireless redstone will be a real feature in Minecraft.
Using carving sensors, players will be able to create redstone signals by detecting vibrations.
Guardian
Warden is the fourth and final mob announced for the Caves and Cliffs update. It's Minecraft's first blind mob. Because they are blind, guards use vibrations to search for their enemies. These terrifying mobs will only spawn in deep, dark caves.
Guardians will be one of the strongest mobs in Minecraft. At Minecon 2020, Mojang showed how a guard can easily kill a player covered in netherite armor.
Instead of fighting a guard, players prefer to distract them and run in the opposite direction.
Experimental snapshots
After the release of the 1.17 update, the developers soon released an experimental snapshot for 1.18 featuring a new terrain generation. The experimental snapshot implemented lush caves, dripstone caves, and all sub-mountain biomes.

The snapshot was released to get feedback on the new terrain generation. Lush caves and dripstone caves were already available in older snapshots from 1.17. This snapshot brings submontane biomes for the first time to Java Edition.
