We added noise caves, changed world height, and added aquifers (local water levels). Summarized in this pic. Note that the underground biomes don't generate quite yet. Try it, give us feedback!

Hi folks, I'm leaving Mojang, at least for now, so I won't be posting as much Minecraft stuff. This has been really fun! Never met a dev team with so strong passion for their product & users. And the community has been super helpful with snapshot feedback & testing. Keep it up!❤️

This is what Minecraft 1.18 looks like without surface features or caves. Pretty zen.

Grimstone is a new basestone that generates at negative Y.
@JasperBoerstra
made some nice matching textures for the ores, but it barely missed this week's snapshot train. Will come later. So don't pester him (too much) about ugly ore blocks at negative Y :)

This was a popular location in one of the earlier 1.18 snapshots, but got lost after seed reshuffling. Places like this can still generate though. Anyone found something similar, with the lush caves inside a water cave inside a cliff with a coral reef outside? If so share it!

Been tinkering a bit with the peaks, especially for the smaller mountain ranges, to make them more jagged and interesting. The big mountain ranges were mostly fine, but the small ones tended to be a bit too round and flat. Maybe something like this?

I get a lot of questions about how the new Minecraft noise caves work, and why we call them silly things like Cheese caves and Spaghetti caves. Here's an attempt to summarize it in a picture, hope it makes some kind of sense :)

We're experimenting with having some ores less likely to show up exposed to air. That means you may have a reason to go cave diving at deep levels :)

OK time to figure out why the big stalactites aren't generating properly. When working on worldgen stuff we often create simple debug views like this to show what is actually going on behind the scenes. Super useful.

This is what happens when you give aquifers too much control.

Mineshaft corridors now hang from chains sometimes, when closer to the ceiling than the floor. Can get pretty goofy in big caves :)

Contrary to popular belief, Hoglins in Minecraft aren't actually afraid of warped fungus. They just think it smells really bad, so getting away from it takes priority over both breeding and fighting.

We've also introduced crack cavers, which are like ravines but very narrow and very deep. Trivia: that's how the cool skylight came in to this cave that we showed on Minecraft Life.

And yes, Glow Lichen is the new cave light source I mentioned in the cave prototype video a while back. We made them mainly for the not-yet-released larger caves. Glow Lichen generate naturally, but you can also grow it yourself and make eerie glowing cave paths :)

One nice side effect of the new terrain generation is that river width can vary quite a lot. I like these wide ones here.

The cool thing with crack carvers is that surprising things like this can happen way down underground (turn the volume up!)

The nice thing about coding is if you need a tool you can sometimes just hack it up. Here I needed a way to quickly compare two versions of worldgen. Should have made this a long time ago! No more manual copy/pasting tp coords :)

I'm pretty happy with our fairly simple chains & pillars solution for dealing with mineshafts inside the large 1.18 caves. We didn't really have bandwidth to completely revamp these structures, but needed to do something at least.

Oh, turns out noodle caves weren't generating above y130. Easy fix. This'll give us small cave entrances and cracks up in the mountains. See it?

A note about the goat horn & copper horn feature in the latest bedrock beta. This is somewhat experimental, and we can't guarantee that it will be part of 1.19. As always, we are open to feedback and curious about how you use the feature :)

Java snapshot 21w43a is out! If you open an old world, the terrain between existing lands and new lands will be blended smoothly instead of having a hard edge/cliff. Pretty cool! Will likely be improved further in later snapshots.

Oh, and yes, we'll make the caves bigger again. The megacaves won't be all over the place like in 21w06a (that gets annoying after a while), but more common than in 21w07a. We overcompensated and made the underground too barren. Your feedback was super useful, as always!

Dripstone growth works kinda like this. But a lot slower! Not thousands of years slow (like in real life), but still slow.

OK this should be about good enough. We accidentally messed up badlands hoodoos (and icebergs) on both bedrock and java in a recent snapshot & beta. Trying to get badlands back into a good state on both platforms, and fix some related bugs along the way.
