Dramatic New Shattered Terrain Changes | Minecraft Caves & Cliffs Update

The minecraft caves and cliffs update part 2 is bringing countless changes to the game’s terrain generation not only with the caves of the game but also the mountains in this video we’re going to be taking a look at some insane new shattered terrain changes which have recently been shared to us by a

Minecraft developer known as henrik so if you do going to enjoy this video be sure to drop in a like and let me know down below in the comments what are you more excited for the updated caves or the updated cliffs but without going on for any longer let’s get right into the

Video so as i said the caves and cliffs update part 2 is the bigger half of the overall minecraft caves and cliffs update and it is bringing along with it the updated terrain generation which basically means the new caves the new mountains all of that good stuff whereas part one was

More about just the blocks and the basics of the update as i’ve said in previous videos as we approach september october november december those months are going to be extremely busy for minecraft there’s going to be a lot of new information coming out about 1.18 and 1.19 also future minecraft updates

And the minecraft live event which will reveal what is to come in the next year or two for minecraft so it’s a very busy time especially around this part of the year but a minecraft developer known as henrik who has been talking openly about his experience with working on the caves

And cliffs update a lot has shared a lot more very interesting information about the shattered terrain tweaks now something interesting about this just because it’s called the caves and cliffs update people did expect you know caves and mountains to be added but what henrik has done here is actually tweak

The shattered terrain generation to make it a lot more interesting and to make it just a lot more fun to explore you’ll see what i’m talking about this first tweet actually came from henrik not too long ago now saying another tweak shattered terrain the really crazy terrain you often see near the coasts

And swamps seems to be a bit too common i’m testing replacing some of it with flat bg close lines instead here is the same location before versus after when we look at the original image it is a traditional mountain just by the coast by a swamp as we can see right there

There’s nothing wrong with this terrain at all i really do like this personally and i think it’s quite fun it reminds me of lg minecraft but the thing about it is it’s not too fun to traverse and explore especially if you’re traveling the waters of your minecraft world

Trying to look for new terrain this has happened with me a lot personally and it’s the reason i don’t really um go off too far in a boat because most of the time when i find new terrain and this will only get worse with the caves and

Cliffs update well it would have got worse if this change was not made but it’s just really annoying to finally find a new piece of land and for there to be a massive towering cliff i have to climb up somehow that was the before image but as we can see by the after

Image basically it has been completely tweaked now some people may say but this is the caves and cliffs update why is that big massive mountain actually being removed i do think that this second image is more reminiscent of what lg minecraft used to be like you would have

Quite a bit of flat terrain where you could just explore build fight do whatever you wanted but then all of a sudden like the terrain would just completely switch into a giant towering cliff and that is what we can see here it looks a lot more fun if we look at

The before image and then look at the after image i just feel like the second one would be a lot more fun to explore and build on like there’s no point having these beautiful mountains if there’s nowhere to build a house to actually look at them like that is why i

Really do like this change let me know what you think about it down below in the comments comment image one or image two and let me know which one you prefer the before or after image i feel like this second post gives us a bit more of an idea what henrik was actually

Thinking it says another before verse after example i think this provides better contrast between the crazy vast flat terrain and is more build friendly and walk friendly trying to find a balance between terrain that looks cool versus terrain that is practical to deal with as a player now this is what we

Were talking about earlier but as we can see by the before image it’s just completely crazy terrain as i said very cool to look at not too fun to traverse and build on this second image as we can see it does flatten out that crazy beach

That we could see in the image earlier completely flattens it flattens that just crazy hillside there and just creates a really cool area to build on as we can see really does not mess with the terrain too much on the left but as we can see that crazy terrain there has

Been toned down with a flat beach right there which has obviously um created more opportunities for players to build we can also see that the crazy bits have been toned down so all together this is just a lot more fun to explore and build on we’ve still got the crazy side of the

Terrain generation right there but it’s just been toned down a bit in certain places like henrik said the crazy terrain so that it’s just a bit more fun to build on i really do like this and it’s something really i think a lot of us are overlooking when

We wanted updated mountains obviously we wanted crazy mountains and some um reminders of the old minecraft terrain generation but the thing about that i do not want things to go too overboard and make it impossible to actually enjoy the game because do not get me wrong i love

Mountains in minecraft the way they look i like building on them but we need to maintain that classic core of minecraft with some classic terrain generation though so that it’s still fun to build on these tweaks by henrik to this crazy terrain i do believe are incredible and if

Anyone’s not swayed by this yet just take one last look at this image what could you realistically do with that crazy bit of sand right there like i bet the 99.99 of players would actually just go and flatten that anyway and that meant enough in the background i’ll admit does

Look cool and i wish there was a way to maintain bits like that while keeping a little flat area but as we can see by the second image you can imagine building something there whether it be a farm a home and then add big glass windows to look out at the new mountains

I think that would be absolutely awesome as henrik said this is not final and it may actually change from here but he’s currently dealing with a very delicate process of trying to balance the beautiful look of the terrain versus making it practical to build on and explore so
