Mountains are finally getting a makeover, and once the update goes live, players will see six new mountain sub-biomes: Meadow, grove, Lofty Peaks, Snowy Slopes, Snow Capped Peaks, and Stony Peaks. As the world altitude will increase, seamounts will spawn up to level Y 260.

Bundle is a new item that aims to help players manage their inventory. It has 64 pack slots which are different from the normal inventory slots. If the player wants to store a stackable item, he can store a stack of the same item or multiple items combined. Non-stackable items such as swords will occupy all spaces.
3) Sculk

During the Minecraft Live 2020 event, a new mystery lock was revealed by Mojang. As shown in the live stream, the carved blocks can be found in the nearby dark cave biome. Sculk sensors are a type of Sculk block that can detect vibrations and emit redstone signals.
2) Director

To make the player's cave experience that much scarier, Mojang is introducing a new blind hostile mob called the Warden. It will spawn in the deep dark cave biome along with carved blocks. The director has a sensor-like block carved into his head, which allows him to detect vibrations and locate players.

Mojang finally listened to his fans and decided to change the way caves are generated in Minecraft. Three new cave biomes are coming in the update: lush caves, dripstone caves, and deep darkness. The height of the world generation is also being raised downwards. Therefore, caves will spawn up to level Y -59.
