Finding new 1.18 chunks on the Mojang #spawnpoint server 🤩

Past few days @gnembon_mc and I have been prototyping some interesting stuff with Sculk Veins/Sculk and how they spread. Curious to see if it will take us to interesting places 👻

This underwater masterpiece had us holding our breath while exploring the spectacular map and the journey it shows.

Before setting out to find new caverns to explore, prepare with the Copper Mining Helmet or Delver’s Leg, now available in the Character Creator. After you’ve gotten your gear settled, show us what you’re bringing for your Caves & Cliffs adventure!

Official trailer for Minecraft Caves & Cliffs Part II

Opened one of my Minecraft survival worlds in 1.18.0, and after exploring for just a little while, found this cave pretty much under spawn. It's absolutely breathtaking! Total game changer.

You might want to save this for reference ⛏️
(Or just explore and enjoy finding it out for yourself!)

It worked perfectly! Big kudos to my colleagues who worked on blending and world upgrading, it was a hard task and they did an amazing job.

What have you discovered today underneath your long term survival base?

Working on a huge update like this with the mental toll many endured, or without being able to visit your loved ones overseas for almost 2 years... it can be painful. So to still pull off the update like we have regardless, I'm proud of that, and proud of everyone in the team.

The team that I'm fortunate to be a part of has gone beyond what I could imagine. It really blows my mind what they've been able to achieve, especially during a pandemic. I know that can feel like a throw away line now days, but some people are expats away from their families.

I gotta admit, it feels surreal to see Caves & Cliffs finally released. I remember starting to brainstorm designs and prototypes with the rest of the team pretty much when I joined Mojang. It's bizarre, but amazing, that all of that is out there for players to enjoy now.

To add to this: it's always a great idea to ensure you have backups of your old worlds before updating. We have play tested a lot and really really hope everything should work well. But a new update might introduce issues.

OK upgrading my SMP server to 1.18. What can possibly go wrong? It is only a 10-year old server....

I'm exploring the new caves under the biggest city on my realm! So far I for example found Dripstone Caves and a geode! So nice to find these new lovely things under my 10 year old world! What have you found under your worlds?Would love to hear (and see,if you have screenshots😊)

Show me your cool screenshots of 1.18 so far!!

Let's ROCK it!

How many new features can you spot in the trailer? 🔭
