Ender – Calcite generation, fjord rivers, saddle valleys, + more! | Minecraft 1.18 Experimental Snapshot 4

Hi guys welcome back to another video my name is zinder and i hope you’re doing well today it is time to check out the next experimental snapshot for 1.18 released by mojang studios this is experimental snapshot 4 for the 1.18 generation and so in today’s video i’d like to get into

What’s new how you can download it and play for yourself and just what things are looking like for this new generation so so let’s go ahead and check out the changes in experimental snapshot 4 compared to snapshot 3. and i also will have like video chapters below in the

Description so if you don’t want to listen to me go over these changes you can skip to the next segment so let’s look at this we have temple tweaks desert temples tend to be partially buried and jungle temples and desert temples no longer generate on water that’s good badlands and deserts

Are larger and less likely to show up as ugly micro bomb splotches that’s also great uh terracotta bands go higher wooded badlands grass and trees start higher made biome placement a bit smoother and less noisy again this should result in fewer micro bombs again switched biome placement in general to

Reduce the risk of harsh collisions removed surface freezing for hot biomes and raise the altitude at which snow layers are placed this should result in fewer weird things like jungle trees with snow on top made snowy slopes less dirty again for real this time made extreme hills terrain lesson extreme and

Fiddled with the placement of shattered terrain and extreme hills in general to make it fit in with the terrain better reduce the likelihood of rivers being cut off and turning into steep dry river gorges in mountainous terrain instead rivers will tend to either carve a fjord through the mountain range or raise the

Terrain to form a saddle valley between the peaks these are new things fjord rivers and saddle valleys we’ll get into those later in the video this should make the terrain friendlier for both walking and boating i think it also makes rivers a bit wider in general reduce the number of diorite and decide

Granite blobs on the surface this should reduce the spray paint look of stone shores and such stone shores sometimes generate layers or strips of gravel diorite andesite or granite stony peaks sometimes generate layers of gravel calcite andesite or granite no more need to destroy geodes to get calcite oh boy

This is my favorite change calcite now generates in the stony peaks bomb we’ll also check that out later more iron you’ll still mostly have to go caving or mountain climbing to find it but you’ll find more iron when you do swampy or swamps tweaked swamp placement a bit just to keep them happy

Swamps have been really sad lately they are less likely to extend far out from the coastline now and rivers and swamps tend to be shallower bigger copper blobs and drips on caves go to that biome if you want more copper either that or find a large copper vein

All right so that’s all the experimental test snapshot 4 1.18 caves and close part 2 changes and this article will be linked below like normal so let’s go ahead and check this out in game but of course before we do we gotta show you how to get this experimental

Snapshot so the installation process is actually pretty easy all we have to do is download this zip file right here it’ll just take a couple seconds then we have to unpack the folder into your versions folder of your local minecraft application data folder so this is how

You find your minecraft folder if you’re on windows this is how if you’re on mac os this is how so i’m on windows i’ll go ahead and press windows r and i already have it pre-typed in just like that so that’s what you have to type in press ok

And yep yep we are here so we’ll go to versions and then we will actually keep this open we’ll take our downloaded folder here we will go ahead and cut it and then paste it into here that’s really all now we just have to extract it so now it should be

Downloaded right here yep as we can see so we should be able to go to our minecraft launcher and tweak our 1.18 test snapshot installation to number four and found it so let’s go ahead and i guess play on this bad boy we’ll just select it and boom there are some risks

Safety features but it’s fine fine with me all right here we are minecraft 1.18 experimental snapshot for pending and while we’re doing this this is the perfect time to remind you to leave a like on today’s video it would be much appreciated if you guys would do

That because it really helps me out on the support for my channel and i have noticed that these kind of videos get pretty popular so so you know if you are new to the channel check out my other content and consider subscribing because i’m trying to get to

1000 you know fairly soon i would say by the end of the year but that honestly seems like a stretch apparently to social blade i should be able to hit it but that’s kind of going off topic in today’s video we need to focus

Now i would like to remind you if you do have kind of a slower computer i wouldn’t really recommend checking out these kind of snapshots because they do take you know some performance from your computer even my decent computer you know it’s not the best like computer anyone could

Have but even for my decent computer it is a bit slow so it looks like we’re in the world all right well let’s go ahead and flip over to noon just so we can see a little bit better um yeah here we are hello so what do we have in

This generation okay so i i spawned here this is spawn basically here is the seed so i don’t forget um i think i’d like to do things differently in this showcase i think we’ll just stick to one world and then we’ll kind of go feature by feature right so here

Oh a little bit of disclaimer for today’s video i do still have a broken finger so be a little patient with me today um also this thing i mean can we can we turn down the render distance a little maybe to 12 chunks yeah that smoothes things better

Uh so it is a little hard for me to kind of sprint and jump and stuff so we spawned here by this here mountain i would i would call this a mountain uh pretty big pretty sizable not gonna lie it’s it’s pretty cool um we’ll jump over here this looks just

Like a big forest bomb with kind of a spruce like forest tyga basically um this looks like a little splotch of a biome a mini mega tiger and then we have like a snowy tundra or something with the frozen river so pretty good seed i do like it it’s really good for survival

And then it looks like over here we have like a sunflower plains that’s pretty cool so nothing eye-catching yet but we got some cool stuff to check out later oh flower force the mountain and that is lag spike oh boy wow lag spike oh man i haven’t had one of those in forever

That gives me bad bad memories from my old days of creating videos because you know i would record videos sometimes my computer would just crash even have to restart it and have to start the recording over so uh hope that never happens again um interesting stuff going on here looks like we have

An aquifer some weird caves this is this a cave interest actually hang on hang on it looks to me like this could yeah it it no way this this almost looks like a cave entrance but i don’t think it is i think it’s just a weird thing um geod right there okay

Very neat so first i think i mean we have a drift stone cave here so we might as well check out this first change for today’s video in the drip stone caves copper will now be way more common so that kind of makes the drift stone caves a little bit more unique because

Previously it was just the drift stone block and the point of drip stone very boring in my opinion so the fact that we now have more copper involved in these cave systems kind of makes things uh you know more unique so let’s check this out we got a pretty

Sizable there’s some cave right here but i’m not finding actually i’m not finding too much copper at all like where is the copper oh it’s up on the ceiling see there’s quite a few veins right here so that is pretty cool if you know my big suggestion if you’re looking for

Copper check out the gypsum caves because pretty common in this uh cave biome and hey check that out we got diamonds right here what why level are we at we’re at nine okay and then we have a mine shaft here this is uh ow wow this is actually pretty

Cool with the chains hanging i’m not gonna lie i kind of like this it seems like just exploration in general for 1.18 will be way more interesting uh but let’s head back up to the surface because the surface is mainly our focus for today we’ve got a couple of new features

To check out and first it involves the new biome that came out in the last snapshot experimental snapshot that i completely forgot to check out had no idea so let’s head to that new biome looks like we’re underground okay uh here we are oh wow this is actually high up we’re at

An acasia so oh here it is here it is here it is so flipping back into creative this is the stoney peaks biome released last snapshot i think a week ago so calcite is is now way more common in in uh in this snapshot because calcite

Can now be found in the stony peaks biome so that’s pretty neat it looks like see this is a bad example for stony peaks but usually the stony peaks would be like pretty big but calcite calcite like blobs i guess can now be found in the stony peaks so

Building with calcite is now is now a lot easier so um wow what is this look at this village i mean it’s like layered you got all the way down here in the oh actually hold on a minute wait a minute this actually oh this looks like the new uh fig figured river

We’ll talk about that in a second but we’ve got like an acacia thing going on here interesting house i like that a lot um cool but then it goes up and wow that’s a neat waterfall it like layers up i don’t even what is this this might be cursed actually this might be

Cursed we have wheat seeds on the path blocks mojang if you are watching right now this is an issue this is an issue uh this okay honestly i would like to live here oh more lag spikes again i don’t like this at all i don’t know

What’s causing that but it needs to stop wow look at this i would like this this is an incredible view i mean when you like a view like this i mean awesome wow this village is actually giant i mean look how it generates anyway so that’s the stony peaks change let’s

Actually check out the new river type there’s a new river type called the fjord river so i think this might be a swedish word terminology for a river type but essentially you have a a pretty sizable a pretty sizable river and it’s also deep so you have kind of this canyon esque thing

And then it eventually it’ll turn into like a lake or something right here and it could also continue like over there so it turns into this lake and then i think back over there it actually turns into an ocean so this is a new river type in in 1.18 i think

I think this is actually a lake is this a lake not sure but i is this a biome or just like a river type is is it just i’m sorry i can’t speak today uh it’s just river so i don’t think it’s a new biome i think it’s just like a new river

Generation thing um but a fjord river so if you guys have any thoughts on the fjord river maybe any screenshots let me know i’m over on twitter linked below but this is pretty neat fjord river i like it um more realistic no longer just kind of weirdly cuts off

I like it a lot overall things are just getting smoother less less a weird biomes going on let’s actually i mean it seems like the bad lanes bomb has just been the craziest bomb in 1.18 so far so let’s go ahead and check out the badlands biome okay so here we are we

Got like a mine shaft that’s pretty neat i think the badlands in the desert and everything with just weird generation going on has been fixed as well as warmer biomes in this snapshot are now are now better so you have something like this a bad lanes you have

A desert this actually makes a lot of sense and you have a jungle so more stuff like this and and wow look at this is this a ravine or a cave i think it’s a cave but look at this thing this is uh wow this is massive and oh wow we have

Lots of mobs first off but also check this out a geode right here so this is pretty cool here are the coordinates and you know here’s the seat again so honestly 1.18 is seems like so far it seems like it’s going to be folk i mean lots of new exploration potential you know

Way more fun it’d be way more fun to explore in this update and building two i mean building is gonna be so much fun like so much fun in 1.18 i can’t wait until 1.18 the official snapshots start releasing should be sometime next month hopefully early september so
