Minecraft has had a consistent vertical world size of 255 blocks for a very long time, with the bottom-most block being the Y-0 coordinate. With the new 1.18 update, which brings with it all-new cave and mountain generation, the total vertical world size has been expanded by 128 blocks. The world ceiling now sits at 319 blocks while the lowest bloc...
One of the standout additions of 1.18 is the massive overhaul to cave generation, dubbed 'Noise Caves' (named for their use of noise generators). Caves no longer generate like they used to, players who've got a love for spelunkingare instead treated to huge caverns, claustrophobic tunnels, new underground biomes and so much more.

The Overworld has received a massive overhaul to its biome generation. Among these, the existing biome transition is made to be much more seamless and logical. In previous versions of Minecraft, biome transitions had a tendency to be a bit extreme and illogical at times. For example, a Desert biomecould make a rather abrupt change into a Frozen Oce...
Some of the coolest additions in 1.18 are the new cave biomes that generate underground. These new biomes are Lush Caves and Dripstone Caves. Lush Caves are caverns covered in vegetation (some of which serve as a light source). In these biomes, it's possible for Tropical Fish and Axolotls to spawn in some of the more flooded areas.

One of the new features of cave generation is Deepslate. Deepslate is a darker, more difficult-to-break stone-type block that generates deep underground at around Y-8 to Y-0, after which Stone blocks are entirely replaced with Deepslate. Breaking this block (which takes twice the amount of time it does to break Stone) will yield Cobbled Deepslate, ...
Mountains have received a massive upgradein the new update. There are now six new sub-biomes associated with mountains: 1. Meadowsgenerate towards the base of a mountain and feature lots of grass and flowers. 2. Groves spawn on the sides of snowy hills and mountains. 3. Snowy Slopes, a biome that generates mountain slopes covered in barren snow blo...
Ore veins are rare but potentially very rewarding groups of ore that can be found both in caves underground. Ore Veins are not small by any means, in fact, they take on a similar shape to spaghetti caves, having a winding tunnel-like appearance except it's comprised of ore and other specific blocks associated with them. For example, Copper oreveins...
When it comes to starting new Minecraft worlds, it's understandable that some playersmight be hesitant since it normally means starting over from scratch.
