Caves & Cliffs is the name of two major themed updates for Java and Bedrock editions. The first part was released as Java Edition 1.17 and Bedrock Edition 1.17.0 on June 8, 2021,[1] which focused on blocks and mobs. The second part was released as Java Edition 1.18 and Bedrock Edition 1.18.0[2] on November 30, 2021,[3] and brought revamped overworld generation, including new caves and mountains.
Caves & Cliffs was announced in Minecraft Live 2020,[4] and on April 14, 2021, Mojang Studios announced that the update would be split into two portions due to the amount and complexity of content, as well as team health.[5] It was later announced in Minecraft Live 2021 that the Deep Dark portion, as well as certain items, of the Caves & Cliffs update would be delayed until The Wild Update to improve quality.
On Java Edition, Part I started development with snapshot 20w45a, which was released on November 4, 2020. The first pre-release for Caves & Cliffs: Part I was released on May 27, 2021, and the first release candidate on June 4, 2021. Part II started development with 1.18 Experimental Snapshot 1, which was released on July 13, 2021, followed by the first pre-release on November 11, 2021, and the first release candidate on November 25, 2021.
On Bedrock Edition, Part I started development with beta 1.16.200.52, which was released on October 28, 2020. Most of the Part I features were behind experimental gameplay toggle until the Part I release and were not included in the full 1.16.200, 1.16.210, and 1.16.220 release.[6][7] In Part II, development continued with beta 1.17.30.23, which was released on August 25, 2021. In 1.17.10, released on July 13, 2021, non-beta users were able to test out most of early Part II features behind experimental gameplay.[8]
Both Java and Bedrock editions received Caves & Cliffs: Part I on June 8, 2021, and Caves & Cliffs: Part II on November 30, 2021.[9]
Additionally, features from Caves & Cliffs: Part I, were released for Minecraft Education in 1.17.30 on November 2, 2021. Part II features were released in 1.18.32 on August 9, 2022.
For China Edition, Caves & Cliffs: Part I was released on January 21, 2022, and Part II on August 26, 2022.

- Takes slightly longer to mine than normal cobblestone.
- Mining deepslate without Silk Touch drops cobbled deepslate, similar to stone dropping cobblestone.
- Can be crafted or cut into several variants (see Cobbled Deepslate#Stonecutting for more information).

- Copper blocks are used for crafting and storage.
- Made with nine copper ingots.
- The stonecutter can be used to craft the different copper block variants.
- Develops a patina of pale green copper carbonate over multiple stages, exposed, weathered, and oxidized.
- Honeycombs can be used to make waxed copper, which does not progress beyond the patina stage it has at the time. The wax can be scraped off with an axe, but it does not drop the honeycomb.
- Axes can be used to undo the oxidisation stages one at a time.
- New ore that is found underground.
- Drops Raw Copper when broken, like other metal ores.
- Generates in blobs between layers 0 and 96, as well as in ore veins above layer 0.
- Can be smelted into copper ingots, which can be used to craft copper blocks, lightning rods, and spyglasses.

- Spreads to a random nearby block in a cross formation when bone meal is applied.
- Generates in caves.
- Decorative block.
- Part of the new azalea trees.

- Redirects lightning strikes within a 128 block[JE only]/64 block[BE only] radius to the top of the rod, which can prevent flammable structures from catching fire during thunderstorms.
- Emits a redstone signal when struck by lightning, with the exception of when it gets struck by lightning from a channeling trident in a thunderstorm, in which it emits nothing.
- Can be oriented in different directions depending on the players orientation.
- Crafted from 9 raw iron, raw gold or raw copper.
- The block of raw iron and the block of raw copper generates in Ore veins.
- An opaque block that appears grassy on all sides.
- Using bone meal can cause it to grow grass, tall grass, moss carpets and both types of azalea bushes on it and in its vicinity.
- Bone meal can also cause it to grow over (expand) and convert stone surfaces, sand, dirt, etc. but not grass surfaces.
- Breaks when pushed by a piston.
- Same texture as the moss block, but one pixel thick like a carpet.
- Can occupy the same block with grass.
- Come in two forms, stalactites and stalagmites.
- Stalactites hang from the ceiling and drip water or lava, based on what is above them. The stalactites drip water naturally without a source block above it, but these drips do not fill a cauldron.
- Placing a cauldron under a stalactite slowly fills the cauldron with water or lava depending on the source block above them (enables renewable lava).
- If the block on which a stalactite hangs is broken, the stalactite falls, causing damage to players and mobs directly underneath. They do not take any damage if they are airborne.
- Stalagmites are found on the floor of the cave and deal damage if landed on.
- The damage inflicted of pointed dripstone is directly proportional to the height from which the stalactite or player/mob falls from.
- Stalactites hang from the ceiling and drip water or lava, based on what is above them. The stalactites drip water naturally without a source block above it, but these drips do not fill a cauldron.
- Similar to snow, but entities fall through it. The fall is similar to the effect of cobwebs, but faster.
- If the player does not have any leather armor equipped and they walk or fall in, they start to freeze and take damage.
- Freezing lowers the player's FOV (field of view), turns the health bar blue, and puts a frosty vignette on their screen.
- Any leather armor prevents freezing.
- Wearing leather boots allows the player to walk on top of powder snow and make it function like scaffolding.
- Most mobs can also take freezing damage. Polar bears, strays, and snow golems are immune to freezing.
- Certain mobs have unique properties with powder snow.
- Skeletons convert into strays after staying inside of powder snow for too long.
- Goats avoid and jump across powder snow.
- Foxes, rabbits, endermites, and silverfish can walk on top of powder snow.
- Shulkers and vexes are unaffected by powder snow.
- "Snowier snow" was announced to be part of the Mountains biome in the biome vote at MINECON Live 2019, a joke teaser for powder snow.[10]
- Cauldrons slowly fill up with powder snow when they are placed in a snowing biome.
- Part of the Azalea plant.
- Resembles a dirt block, but with the roots of the azalea tree intertwined.
- The first roots that exist in Minecraft.
- Leads player to the Lush Caves biome.
- When bonemealed, hanging roots grow on the bottom block.
- Appears highly varied in models.
- Can be placed only in water or on clay, which counts as a 'moist' block.
- Bone meal can be applied to turn it into Big Dripleaf.
- Can be sold by the Wandering Trader.
- Spawns as an outer covering of amethyst geodes on the outer side of calcite, similar to real-life geodes.
- Very similar in texture to calcite but different in color.
- Can be obtained by smelting basalt in a furnace.
- Can be placed on ceilings.
- Sends particles downward when opened.
- Creates ambient particle effects, similar to the nether biomes, but non-biome dependent, however, its natural generation is dependent of the Lush Caves.
- A type of glass that does not allow light to pass through.
- Crafted with a glass block in the middle and 4 amethyst shards in a cross shape.
- Drops itself when broken, even without Silk Touch, unlike glass.
- Decorative block.
- Generates below y = 0 in the form of patches.
Items

- Created by smelting raw copper.
- Can be used to craft copper blocks, lightning rods, and spyglasses.
- Grow from cave vines.
- Can be eaten.
- Used as a light source.
- Loved by foxes as much as sweet berries.
- Foxes can pick and eat glow berries from the vine similar to sweet berry bushes.
- Drops from glow squid.
- Used to make glow item frames and glowing signs.
- Using a bucket on powder snow creates a powder snow bucket.
- Powder snow buckets can be used to place powder snow.
- Powder snow buckets can also be filled from cauldrons filled with powder snow.
- Raw iron, raw gold, and raw copper
- Iron and gold ores now drop 1 raw iron and raw gold, as well as copper ore dropping 2-3 raw copper when mined instead of dropping themselves.
- Can be smelted into their ingot variants.
- The Fortune Enchantment works on iron and gold to drop more raw iron or raw gold.
- Spawn eggs for the new mobs are added.
- The axolotl spawn egg.
- The glow squid spawn egg.

Mobs
- Based on the critically endangered Mexican salamander with the same name in real life.
- Spawns in bodies of water within lush caves.
- The first amphibian added to Minecraft.
- Can be caught in a bucket like fish.
- Comes in four common varieties, lucy (pink), wild (brown), gold, and cyan, and a rare blue variety, which has a 1⁄1200 (~0.08334%) chance of spawning. This fraction is based on the fact that there are about 1200 axolotls left in the wild.[11]
- Has a 1/3 chance to play dead when damaged, receiving Regeneration I for 10 seconds, recovering 4.
- This regeneration ability is likely based on how real axolotls can regrow lost limbs.
- Preys on fish, glow squid and squid, and attacks drowned and guardians (doesn't include elder guardians) if tempted with tropical fish by a player, dealing 2.
- Prioritizes hostile mobs over fish.
- Based on the mob of the same name in Minecraft Earth.
- Underwater mob that behaves like a regular squid.
- Can spawn in underground water sources.
- Is attacked by axolotls without provocation.

- Contains smooth basalt, calcite, blocks of amethyst, budding amethyst, and the amethyst clusters they generate.
- Large, rare, snake-like ore formations.
- Copper ore veins mixed with granite generate above Y=0.
- Iron ore veins mixed with tuff generate below Y=0.
- Height dependent generation.
- Revamped, featuring some new small spruce trees on the slopes and ice and packed ice above the peaks.
- Contain goats, rabbits, snow blocks, snow layers and powder snow.
- Iron ore, emerald ore and coal ore are found in abundance.
- Emerald ore no longer generates in veins of only one.
- Can generate up to Y = 260.
- New sub biomes. Jagged Peaks, Frozen Peaks, Snowy Slopes, Stony Peaks, Grove, and Meadow.
- Completely overhauled.
- Now stretch down to Y = -59.
- The cavern now generates in 2 layers of different stone bases depending on the depth.

Biomes
- Contains pointed dripstone and dripstone blocks.
- Generates larger blobs of copper ore.
- Contain cave plants and moss.
- Moss covers the ceilings and floors.
- Clay pools generate inside.
- 6 new sub-biomes added and pillager outposts can generate in all of these biomes:
- Meadow
- Grove
- Covered in snow, snow blocks, dirt and powder snow, and is filled with spruce trees.
- Rabbits, foxes and wolves spawn in this biome.
- Generates in the slopes of a mountain when next to a forested biome.

- One of three mountain peak biomes that only generate if the mountain is high enough.
- Generates in taller, jagged, and pointy peaks.
- Covered in snow, snow blocks and stone.
- Only goats spawn in this biome.
- Frozen peaks

- Only goats spawn in this biome.
- Stony peaks
- Generates in mountain peaks in regions with warmer biomes such as savannas and jungles to avoid temperature clashes.
- It's mostly covered by stone with strips of calcite.
- It doesn't generate snowy slopes or groves in the lower areas of the mountain.
- The only mob that spawn in this biome is the glow squid.
Gameplay
- Vibrations
- Currently unused.
- An action can cause vibrations in the air, which can be picked up by sculk sensors.
- Can be caused by player and mob movements, blocks being placed or broken, containers opening, projectiles being fired and landing, blocks like pistons moving, buttons, levers and pressure plates activating, and blocks activating. Vibrations are not caused by ambient weather such as rain or snow. [13]
General
- Terrain generation is now independent from biomes, with biomes adapting to whatever terrain they happen to generate throughout.[14]
- Terrain is now smoother and more extreme.
- Has been increased to 384 blocks, expanding 64 blocks up and 64 blocks down, with 320 being the limit upward and -64 being the limit downward.
- Most of the overworld ores have been retextured and touched up mainly for accessibility reasons. These also apply to the new deepslate ores.
- This is a great help for color blind people that have difficulties distinguishing a certain ore of similar texture from another.
- Diamond ore is an exception to this for being the "iconic" ore of the game, making Minecraft developers want to keep the classic feel of it.
- Ore distribution has been changed for more strategic mining.
- Certain ores are more common at certain depths, and some may generate in lower quantities or not generate at that level at all.
- Upgrading old worlds
- 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.
- 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.

Trivia
- Mojang Studios employees explored real caves to research for the update. This helped give inspiration and ideas for the update, including for the noodle caves (previously called mesh caves).[15][16]
- Henrik Kniberg also recalled memories of past visits to caves around the world.[17]
- The art style of the concept art for Caves & Cliffs was inspired by the concept art of the Adventure Time episode Diamonds and Lemons, which was a crossover with Minecraft.[18]
- Archaeology and Bundles were originally planned to be added in this update, but were delayed to a later version when the update was split.[19]
- The deep dark biome, sculk blocks, the warden, and goat horns were also originally planned for this update, but have now been postponed to release alongside The Wild Update.
- Trailer trivia
- At the 0:24 mark of the Caves & Cliffs: Part I trailer, the Capricornus constellation can be spotted in the sky, which represents the sea-goat and is the Latin name for goat horn.
- In the same trailer at 0:30, a Necromancer laugh from Minecraft Dungeons can be heard.
