COMPLETE CAVE GENERATION REVAMP! | Minecraft 1.17 Caves and Cliffs Snapshot 21w06a

Hey everybody it’s me your boy kv here welcome back 21 w06a snapshot do you like the sign didn’t have time to build it big today because uh yeah well it’s a really big day this is one of the biggest snapshots of all time you know what we’re gonna do snapchat

Showcase break it down show it off talk about it everything like that oh my gosh this is amazing new cave generation oh this is crazy i like subscribe 1000k club let’s go all right so uh 21w06a is a really cool snapshot i am excited about this one um in terms of new features

We don’t really have any new like items or things like that we have some drip leaf changes though that i’d like to start with so drip leaf plant right here if we stand on the drip leaf it falls through that’s how that works and now previously in the last snapshot

If you were to crouch on a drip leaf plant like this it would not fall that functionality has been removed you’re still too heavy now crouching does not unfortunately decrease weight all right now next up with the bow if we shoot the drip leaf now instead of it breaking it will just fall

Just like that so it’s kind of like kind of like a trap i i personally really like that functionality it also seems that the drip leaf kind of hangs down for longer now i’m not 100 sure on that timing change but it definitely seems like it one really cool functionality is this

Though so let’s say we power the drip leaf i think that’s gonna send the power up here if we stand on this this will actually never tip so you can use redstone to stop a drift leaf from tipping which is cool it will however still tip if you shoot at it with

With a projectile uh so the drip leaf those are some big changes uh but they’re not quite as big as this next stuff so i haven’t gone under the ground quite yet in this world this is a brand new world and in the new snapshot again i haven’t seen the underground uh

This is gonna be my first reaction here cave generation has been changed the cave part of the cave update uh the caves and cliffs update excuse me i’m so excited today it has been changed so what i think we want to do is just a natural look we’ll

Give ourselves night vision after and fly around and look at generation today but oh boy cave generation has been changed look at this okay so right off the bat that looks pretty old no that’s crazy i was gonna say it looks normal this is absurd these caves are

Way more cavy than caves have ever oh look at that giant mine shaft down there no way this is insane and i don’t know if you can notice but the caves they look a little bit deeper too for sure they’re deeper too oh we have so much to talk about

Look at this look at that cave right in front of us this is like absurd look at how big this cavern is i mean i know it’s dark we’ll give ourselves a night vision in a second but wow okay so i think it’s time that we make it

A little bit easier to see for sure so let’s give ourselves night vision for practically ever there we go and no particles perfect so check this out this new cavern right here this is what the cave update is all about this is a real cave i’m sorry old minecraft

Caves i was your friend and you were nice but this this does it does not compare simply it just doesn’t look at this this is insane so we have a mine shaft right here and then a gigantic cavern with water right there pieces of the cave hanging down look at this wow

This is like perfect for like an actual cave base no need to even dig or terraform this stuff looks so good are those diamonds that is diamonds and they’re above me okay this wasn’t planned but this is perfect check this out right here my coordinates why negative 20. negative 20. that previously bedrock

Was at zero we were at y negative 20 and check this out down here all the way at y uh negative 49. there’s copper right there i saw some diamonds yeah look at this so it doesn’t look like any type of ore generation changes have happened

This is kind of crazy but look at this we’re all the way down in the negative coordinates in the overworld this is such a big deal yeah there have been some big changes to the world height made in the snapshot uh particularly with the build limit and the generation limit and everything like

That uh three baby zombies in a row okay so big generation changes and kind of like building changes too first off bedrock in the overworld is now going to be located all the way down at negative 64. so check this out right here negative 64. that’s where the bedrock is

So now the overworld instead of going from zero all the way up to 256 goes from negative 64. all the way up to i believe at 320 so let’s go ahead and test this out uh we’ll set a block right here we’ll make it like like dirt

That’s fine that should be a little bit below the limit here now if we grab the dirt and build right here height limit for building is 320 blocks now the new mountain generation hasn’t been added quite yet but that is probably why that’s been raised making room for the new gigantic

Mountains now the oval world itself is the same if we fly around this is a plain old desert the river is the same the mountains are even the same this crazy savannah biome it’s the same that’s normal all of the changes in the snapshot have been made under the ground and it’s seriously

Just just so crazy the generation is insane and the caves are now actually so deep it’s like seriously like absurdity absurd is literally the only word that i can come up with for this right now it’s crazy so mine shafts this definitely looks a little bit different for sure

Mine shafts will still generate but now they’ll try to adapt to the larger caves a little bit better it kind of honestly seems like some of the mine shafts have gotten a little bit bigger i mean i’m not sure my shafts can be pretty big already

But look at this thing it goes from here all the way down this way tangling through all of this mess right here like that feels really really big doesn’t it it reaches all the way to this cool cavern right here that’s so cool so yeah mine shafts will

Now try and adapt to the new caves a little bit better mine shafts will also no longer generate if they’re going to be just like entirely floating like oh wait hold on look at this oh my gosh i keep finding more and more cool things look at this gigantic ravine looking

Thing with waterfalls this looks like what they showed off at minecraft live like this is absurd stuff right here look at these lava falls in here and this one and then a giant cobblestone generator oh this is crazy this cave shape is really really wild yeah and look at it with without any

Night vision in here the ambiance with a little bit of glow-liking over there and then the lava in here oh that is so cool but the night vision is definitely going to help us out a lot when checking out these games so we’ll turn that back on now cave generation

Cave generation shapes there are currently two brand new ko that mine shaft is massive they’re definitely bigger for sure uh oh okay anyways we have two brand new cave generation the systems in place here at least to my understanding so uh we have noise caves and

Aquifers noise caves are the new way of generating caves now inside of noise caves we have two categories cheese caves and spaghetti caves i’m not making this stuff up so a noise cave what is a noise cave well i think to my understanding if i’m understanding everything

Correctly most of this stuff would be technically considered a noise cave now cheesecake this cave right here i think is a cheesecake i’m pretty sure a cheese cave is something that looks like this so cheese caves are like the holes in swiss cheese according to the changelog

They often form caverns of various sizes this right here definitely a cavern of a couple different sizes we have giant holes coming off of this thing yeah kind of looks like cheese a spaghetti cave that one is way more straightforward there are actually a lot of spaghetti caves over here too

So the spaghetti caves are basically the long branches things that kind of look like the old caves to be honest but but they’re not so a good example would be something like this right here it’s like a long stretch it winds and curves a little bit yeah it’s like a long tunnel spaghetti

Caves or tunnels over here we have an aquifer an aquifer is an area with a local water level independent of the sea level so it could be whatever it wants for now aquifers are only being used below y31 so any noise caves between y31 and y63 are actually going to be flooded

With water which helps us figure out what is what a little bit better but anyways if we move down here right here we’re currently at y-15 definitely below y-31 and it looks like we have an aquifer a local water level so we have water in here

In this cave and then right over here interestingly we have a wall because the local water level i guess ends and then over here boom a different cave uh without any water that’s cool how that works whoa look at this cave right here look at this it starts like up here okay

And then oh it’s all in water too okay so you dive down like under the water in survival and some i mean you would need like a water helmet look you keep going and it gets really deep and then we have magma blocks down here too

This is crazy but look you swim back up over here local water levels i’m assuming and then there’s air and then there’s another cave over here and local water level up here look at this this is crazy the devs have done such an amazing job with this this is so

So cool this is definitely absolutely a real cave oh no way no way no way we have the beautiful water in the caves too look at this the warm color right there oh that’s so cool now look the biome right now is warm ocean the warm ocean water oh there’s a warm

Ocean right up there above us oh this is amazing this is so cool yeah so the cave update generation it was just at it and i’m still trying to like wrap my head around it get used to it also if i mess anything up today i’m sorry about that

But look at this the warm caves in the caves couple different water levels in here lower ground over there we have mobs spawning in here of course because it’s actually dark and then there’s fish actually generating in here spawning in here excuse me under the water too

Which is so cool and then magma blocks do generate under the water in some places too kind of like the old water caves which have now actually been entirely removed so when it comes to water in these gigantic caves caverns things like that we’re gonna have local water levels and aquifers now that

Means the old water caves honestly that were insanely annoying i’ve always hated them they’re removed yay now as you have seen in today’s video the new blocks like the drip stone blocks any of the lush caves blocks those are not actually generating quite yet right now we just have the generations

Like the shapes the the base of all of this the generation is also potentially still being worked on so this might end up changing but so far based off of what we’re seeing here this is really really cool i do have one big kind of concern though

Uh mob farms and lighting up these caves so so these things are gigantic now lighting these things up would practically be a nightmare it’s going to be basically impossible so i’m thinking that either a maybe mob spawning is changed somehow in these caves i mean technically

You might not have to light up all the way down to like y negative 64. but maybe mob spawning has changed or something or going forward mob farms like a creeper farm is gonna have to just be built way high up in the sky because otherwise the rates of the thing

Are just not going to be good not at all because look at this the caves are literally insane as we’ve seen like they’re everywhere how would you ever block all of these swans that would basically like be probably impossible honestly ah another mineshaft change that i almost miss entirely cobwebs will no

Longer be floating now this whole floating thing i think it doesn’t necessarily maybe have to do with these mine shafts because i mean i guess these are connected to the ceiling but they’re also kind of floating right i’m guessing this is more so talking about cobwebs generating maybe like this

I i place this cobweb right here but it’s definitely floating kind of i guess it’s kind of touching those blocks it does seem that cobwebs can still be placed floating down which is good i don’t know i’m not too sure maybe it has to do with like ravines and things

Like that like no floating cop okay this is the biggest cave in the world there’s a okay this is this is it this is it this is the perfect this it’s beautiful it’s beautiful this is where my base is oh my gosh this cave is gigantic yeah yeah like i

Was saying blocking spawns in here it’s not gonna happen uh remove night vision look at this look at this cave this is the best looking cave that has ever been seen look at this thing hands down this cave uh if you want to check this out

In your world right here that’s the seed uh the coordinates right there on screen a negative 500 and 900 uh why negative 42. this thing is gigantic this is amazing and it’s beautiful with the glow lichen this snapshot is so cool this is amazing all right so yeah cave generation it has been

Changed a big question for you guys would you like to see a video of me really just flying around looking at new caves if yes i could totally make that like later today because this stuff is amazing i’m absolutely going to be flying around and checking this stuff up

No matter what it’s just a matter of do i do it in a video we’ll make it easy if this video passes i don’t know let’s say 7 000 likes all sevens always then i will absolutely make a video drop it in a couple days and checking out new cave generation easy

But unfortunately i would love to do this all day but that’s gonna do it for the 21 w06a snapshot brand new cave generation it is now in the game and it’s amazing the world bedrock it’s at negative 64. the build limit it’s at 320. minecraft literally just got a whole lot more
