1.18 changes everything about how minecraft worlds generate every single aspect of the world generation algorithm has been tweaked in some way to fit the new terrain generation and this can be as small as widening the rivers making them easier to traverse by boat or whether it’s adding these stony shores As a gap between the water and the mainland ensuring that you can find ores where that perfect point meets there are so many tips about how they’ve changed existing things but that’s before we mentioned there are 14 brand new biomes added in this update yes you can count Those and you might know from looking at it that like yeah the lush cave is great for finding axolotls and obviously the frozen peaks is a great place to find snowier snow but each of these biomes has something that’s a little special to them that you’re really going to want to Know as a survival player and so hello i’m fbx toy cat welcome to a video today i’m going to be going through the secrets that each of these biomes is hiding from you behind the surface so we’re going to start with the stony peaks biome because although a lot of People find it to be the most boring of all the new biome types by the way this is a seed that has all of those pretty close to spawn the stony peaks is one of my favorites of the new mountains and let me tell you why it should be your Favorite too because it looks like it is just a mountain that’s covered in stone and the reason it generates is because it’s a warmer climate biome compared to the snowy peaks and the jagged peaks which of course look very much uh covered in the snow but the great thing About this being covered in stone is that all all blocks can generate on the surface you can get direct access to coal iron and even if you’re lucky some emerald blocks which honestly fought mining emeralds instead of trading is not the smarter way to get it but if you Just hate villager trading or let’s say you have a silk touch pickaxe you can specifically get the emerald or block in a way we haven’t been able to do before this update but other than that there is also wonderful access to calcite another block that has been very rare before This update it will generate in huge quantities on the surface in the stony peaks biome it is truly wonderful the only thing more wonderful is the kind of secret of the spine because although it is covered in stone and there’s no natural life in sight the truth is this Is one of the best places to terraform into natural biomes i know i take a lot of mountains of grass on i take it off but let me assure you it is worth putting grass onto this biome because look at the delightful color of green that grass is right here if you don’t Know the grass block is the same block regardless of where you place it but it does have a different tint depending on the biome the best color is usually considered to be jungle or shattered savannah the worst color is probably the regular savannah or a desert or even These birch forests are pretty anemic i love the color of the grass and these stony peaks and i really feel like if you want to build a flat area or you want to have a grassy area build it onto a mountain or if you want to be really Fun why not just cover the entire side of this mountain in grass removing the benefits of it being a stunning peaks besides obviously taking the oars with you um but yeah you can do whatever you want with that my point here is just to say i love the color of the grass and It’s one of those things you won’t ever realize because there’s no grass up here but it’s great and that is obviously before we talk about leafs which also have the exact same tint to them personally i find this to be one of the loveliest shades of green especially When compared to the second biome i wanted to talk about so this is the frozen peak spire and honestly on the surface this seems like one of the more useless new biomes in terms of the survival player because of course you can get great access to packed ice which Is a nice block but i mean you already have icebergs for that sure you can get great access to snow blocks the actual blocks themselves unlike usually you have to get snow and then combine it yourself that actually can be quite wonderful if you’re looking for that however these aren’t really secrets Those are things that are straight in your face um the only things that are slightly secret about this biome you could argue are the facts that only spawns goats here no other passive mobs and in case you’re curious to like oh does that mean no hostile mobs no you Still do get hostile mobs which is actually where my point for this comes in because there is two weird things about this biome that you wouldn’t expect to be true that are true anyway first of all is the fact that despite being a frozen biome and even the caves Are frozen in this area which i think is a really cool a little fun fact you might not be aware of if you never spend time here but despite being a chilly frozen biome it doesn’t have two of the very key hallmark traits of an area that Looks like this the first of which is that if we set the time to be midnight you’re gonna notice how all of a sudden uh you know mobs will spawn and maybe some skeletons including of course those weird frozen skeletons right these strays except no as you can tell from this skeleton which Spawned right here and as being very impolite to me uh this is actually regular skeleton territory why is it regular skeletons instead of strays that is an interesting question i mean i guess you could argue strays are just for these snowy plains tigers like you know like you can make the argument that They’re actually not for all the frozen biomes but still it’s not what you would expect which means also if you flatten this out and you put some uh trees here and etc etc you could have the weird fact of being a frozen biome that looks like it should spawn strays but doesn’t It’s a weird thing the other weird thing is the fact that um if we do turn on rain obviously this is a cold bomb so instead of raining it snows but as you can see this tree is not activating with winter mode it does still have these Very very interesting uh you know kind of colors to it which i i i think it’s uh not my cup of tea but again it’s it’s a new color type because it’s a new biome but as you can see it is not turning white like it should in bedrock And eventually will in java um which is interesting because it is snowing it is in a wintry climate it’s in a biome where there should be a white tree and yet where is the white i ask you i guess the answer to the question where’s the white could be easily answered by going To the jagged peaks which are these things right here this is a really interesting biome because what you probably think of as this biome when you look at it is actually a combination of two biomes the snowy slopes and the jagged peaks the jagged peaks are actually these bits right here and Although they are covered in a lot of snow which seems like a bad thing for mining and it’s a bad thing for mining visibility i guess it’s a really really good thing in terms of okay access to ores but if you look at a map of the all Distribution you can see that the iron ore and the emerald or just increase the higher up you go and this is minecraft’s tallest biome now it can go way all the way up to 256 blocks it can’t go beyond sadly even with the new height limit but It goes all the way up to 256 blocks which is great it’s wonderful it means you have access to so many good things and then also the other wonderful thing about this is even though it’s covered in snow it does not contain any snowier snow some people are thinking about Bringing leather boots around them everywhere this is one of those common pro tips because powdered snow also known as snowy snowy snow obviously can make you fall through it and it’s a nightmare but i want to convince you today as to why you don’t need these uh You know level boots even when you’re about to fall into some snow and let me show you why that is because if we go down one of these snopes this is actually into a grove biome right here but the grove can contain powdered snow As well this is a way to make it harder to climb up the mountain i mean some powdered snow about to meet my demise but let me tell you why this is a good thing i’m trapped under a whole mountain of snow right now but as long as i know I’m surrounded on all four blocks this way you can now make a secret entrance into your base that’s entirely natural the game literally generates this secret entrance for you that now we can dig out if we want to again i’m not sure why we’re not getting blocks in exchange for this Minecraft broke at some point during the recording of this video but now we can mine out uh you know from this make our own little secret base also because of that we’re gonna be able to get access to some extra ores because we’re super high up so even while you’re excavating Your base you’re getting some extra fun things and yeah no one is ever going to know where this base is because there is no clue that it’s out here all you have to do if you want to get out is put on some boots and then swim your way out There and i don’t know what just happened there but it’s very strange and so yeah if you look at that i’m like this [Laughter] okay my it’s a little bit buggy again uh you know there’s clearly a bug fix needed in the update but what do you Need to know for now is that lever boots sound like a great idea but honestly i’m not going to recommend them i’m going to say don’t be doing that i think i’m drowning right now i think the game is actually going to manage to kill me Yep yep okay don’t don’t do what i just said i lied that’s how you die okay so where i just died was a grove biome as you can see right here again it’s freezing me from a concerning distance right now i’m flying in creative how am i getting Frozen from here so um this is a grove biome you’re looking at right here it’s absolutely delightful when it’s not freezing you and uh when it doesn’t have the trees on it’s called these snowy slopes oh all of minecraft is is not like it doesn’t want me to share the secrets but I’m going to do it anyway this right here is a snowy slopes bottom it goes up to a uh it can go up to a jagged peaks you can go up where it can go up to any of the types of biomes and it’s very very wonderful this right here is a Pillager outpost which can generate any of the five mountain types i’ve told you about so far it’s really really cool to see because it means that as a result of these new mountains when you explore them you are more likely to find pillager output this one has no Villagers for so it pillages i should say for some reason but that means you still have access to the lovely chest with its oh we can’t open the chest either but you have access to the chest with its wonderful wonderful wonderful um pillager crossbow and that’s it’s Like a regular crossbow but you know you stole it and so it feels better and so there’s only one other brand you buy a mountain bike i should talk about um but before we move on to the other brand new biomes that are all so exciting maybe so Unlike the snowy slopes and the grove which are kind of like a connection between the mainland and the mountains the meadow is kind of meant to be that but also kind of just um sometimes is one of minecraft’s weirdest and sometimes buggiest looking vine it is Covered in flowers not just the corn eye corner cornflowers and the oxide daisies see i mixed them together right there um but also it’s an opportunity to get all sorts of other flowers i’ll list them on screen right now because obviously flower getting is important for dye There is more blue dye in this one biome than you’ll ever need anywhere else also you probably know about this biome for the achievement uh the sound of music very fun and very cute but also you should know about this fire because it’s one of the highest elevations you can Find villages at this whole biome is eligible to spawn uh villagers in which is really nice and the other thing you should know the spine for is that you know just like how you can only find goats on the mountains and on the mountain slopes you can find rabbits and That’s now a new great place to find those because rabbit leather is so useful um now right but the other thing is that you can also use this bim to find donkeys that’s right if you want to make mules or even if you just want donkeys by themselves it can be really Frustrating knowing that 90 of horses that spawn in are horses as opposed to donkeys uh in the plains and savannah bombs but if you oh just plain swamps i should say uh but if you go to this meadow biome every single donkey that spawns in will be a donkey why is it Donkeys exclusively i’m guessing someone on the dev team was annoyed by this exact problem and wanted a way to find donkeys but it’s really really really cool uh to find and to solve and to see and so now you know that is a cool little change and so now you know where To get your hands on more flowers than a human being can do anything with for real i thought the blind was broken i thought this was like a custom biome nope this is just this is what meadows look like um i think they’ve got some beauty to them i’m not seeing any mobs Spawning because my minecraft is broken so instead look at these bees and we can say oh there’s more bees here too look at the baby bees aren’t they cute isn’t this the size of a baby bee in real life i think you’ll find it is by the way Speaking of new biomes i feel like i need to mention because although they technically did add 14 brand new biomes of this update uh it’s a little bit misleading i mean for instance the stone shawl being renamed to the stony shore makes everyone exactly aware of the fact That it is very much an old biome that’s just been renamed except this biome has actually been expanded it’s now very different it’s much more useful than before and honestly it adds to the terrain generation a lot whereas if we look at the other biomes which seem like They’ve been deleted and then entirely ready under a different name let me show you those compared to some old versions and you can tell me what you think of them because the windswept hills for example look suspiciously similar to the old generation with the exception being that sometimes they’ll generate an extra 20 blocks or so higher this is actually one of the most unique whimsical hills i’ve ever seen it has to be said because the old growth pine tiger for example is just the mega tiger biome that you used to know it’s got the boulders it’s got The big two thick two by two trees uh of spruce and then it’s got these uh you know slightly different looking trees because there are two types of these big old trees there’s these very leafy ones and there’s the two ones but it’s everything that you know already just Under a different name can we argue it’s a new biome i’m gonna say the secret of this biome uh this new biome is the fact that it’s not a new biome whatsoever the same thing goes for the windswept savannah the windswept savannah is just mountains that generate a savannah biome And uh they’re basically the same on bedrock they have the fun distinction of sometimes being about 20 blocks higher but as you can see it’s that stair that modified savannah biome that you know and you love um again i i i think it’s actually even almost downgraded because I feel like the grass isn’t quite as perfect as before anyway so if you look at that it’s like it’s basically the same biome same with when we look at the windswept hills when you picture windswept hills you’re thinking oh what can that be and the answer is one of Minecraft’s saddest biomes because i i hate this thing so much it’s the gravel covered extreme hills or mountain or whatever you want to call it um they had a lot of names this over the time uh this is a brand new biome but is it really are you excited to see this as Much as you’re excited to see whatever that is that actually is very cool i i am excited to look over there but as you can see it’s like ah i mean it’s cool to see gravel in a place where it can fall down and do some stuff and when you add In the new cave generation there are some really cool formations here but can we really put that down to the windswept hills the answer is you have to kind of work this one out for yourself all of these six biomes uh right here are actually kind of existing biomes i mean The the sparse jungle is a jungle edge it’s a little bit more sparse now it’s still got same great grass but it’s not really something brand new and so that’s why i wanted to move straight into the cave biomes because again i i think we could talk about existing biomes all day Every day we could do a secrets of every biome and show you all of the weird things you might not know about each biome but i would rather talk about brand new ones because drip stone is now a block that generates naturally and not just few weird blocks by itself and Actually generates a huge huge huge huge huge cave in some cases so the drip stone bim is definitely the less interesting of the two brand new cave biomes in terms of visual appearance because you come here for the blocks and you’re like okay we can get some drip Stone blocks and some drip stone but the thing is you can already farm pointed drip stones so really you’re here for the drip stone blocks exclusively and again that was already obtainable just in smaller quantities however the other reason you should care about this biome existing is because of the fact that it Has copper in larger quantities than other biomes it also has drowns in higher quantities and other biomes but i’m not sure anyone could be excited about that and to demonstrate that allow me to show you right now wow look at all of this copper around and look at how This is such a big vein uh that is one of those weird little facts uh just kind of give the you know the drip stone biomes something else um but again personally i feel like the one cave bomb you’re actually going for by the way side note even though there are new uh Cave generations the things that you can be most flawed by are things like this this is technically not a cave biome this is uh a biome-less cave it’s new generation that’s doing this which is incredible and i’d love to talk about how again it’s just it’s it’s shocking To me every time we go on something like this and it’s like yeah this is normal now this is what cave looking around can be like um also by the way look at this dungeon kind of hidden in the corner here love to see it right and so finally That brings us into the lush cave the 14 of 14 brand new biomes although really eight of eight brand new biomes in minecraft and this is the exciting one this is the one that makes the cave part of the update worth it in my opinion because uh again the uh there is default Biome which is no biome there is drip stone which is you know like it’s underwhelming besides the copper but this is the bomb that makes it all worthwhile this is uh what is so exciting to me because obviously you should know from looking at these things That you can find clay if you mine it with a regular pickaxe you’ll get some clay balls it’s great if you want to smelt these up to make bricks so bricks are now a lot more useful but also if you come over silk touch pickaxe maybe Not made out of gold then you can take this clay you can combine it with uh maybe a little bit of furnacing and some dye and you can make hardened clay and you can make glazed terracotta so much easier than you ever could before combine it with the easy access to dies In the overworld and for real this is a great update for customization but here’s the thing about lush caves you might not know the lush caves have very weird boundaries they’re usually quite circular however caves oh i guess they’re kind of circular in nature uh but caves will look something like this And so it’s hard to find uh lush caves that are pretty big sometimes or you know sometimes the cave will lead you in a direction where the lush cave will clearly end as you can see that’s the end of the biome but maybe you want more Lush k maybe you want a spore blossom and you’re sad you haven’t found one my pro tip the secret secret of these uh lush caves besides obviously all the wonderful things you can do of the unique blocks found here is that pro tip don’t trust the game when the game leads You in a direction because the caves will often go a different way as an example instead of following the cave that way let’s use some of our moss blocks and our stone blocks and our everything else and let’s climb up to here at the top because as you can see There’s also some hidden lush cave up here and this will lead you into a much bigger version of that same biome look at this oh man that it covers all of the mine shaft too there is one two three four five six spore blossoms around here it seems Which is of course the uh it’s the only block out of this entire thing that can only be found right here minecraft’s uh again it’s it’s arguably the most useless site’s been this update but whatever i don’t care it’s better than having no i items uh the small blossom Can be found right here and you can take it with no silk touch required whatsoever it’s very strange it’s one of minecraft’s very few blocks that takes up more than a block in space it uh it it’s got some very uh neutral effects and maybe at some point they’ll make it Useful but yeah did you know lush caves and mine shafts are amazing and even sometimes you can find those four blossoms underneath the very mine shafts themselves i bet you didn’t know that also if you’re underground and you want to get food this is one of the very few Sources of food you can naturally find because glowberries are very easy to harvest you right click and then the glow goes away and you get some food instead you probably should know that right now because it’s existed in mine sharks for a while but just in case You’re the sort of player who doesn’t think oh there’s a new uh vaguely useful food better go find the weirdest places to eat it then here is a thing you can do i would realistically say that if you are in a cave bring food don’t rely on The glow berries because they’re not a very good source they’re tricky to get your hands on and i think though that is the point of caves they are a challenge you do need to be prepared for these things because there are lots of threats and there are lots of rewards the Rewards are spore blossoms and you know what you might not think that’s a good enough reward but i do and that’s why i intend to collect several hundred of these on a live stream late this week if you don’t know it’s streamless and so every Single day uh this month or as many days as i humanly can i intend to live stream and uh yeah do you want to watch me uh get some spore blossoms and then i know do next to nothing with them because they’re they’re useless you better Believe you do which is why you can check that out on the youtube live streaming page it’s very hard to follow it directly so you have a ton of notifications as you’re subscribed to this channel or you can follow me on twitter and turn on notifications right There because i tweet out before i’m about to live stream by the way uh worth mentioning that obviously finding lava or water is impossible in any of these uh biomes if you want to find water anywhere up to y192 and if you want to find lava just get into this deep slate Area of the world and you’ll start to see some by the way look at the size of this lush cave and how we never would have found it if we trusted minecraft and we followed the signs that it gave me so pro tip don’t do that don’t trust Minecraft never trust minecraft and uh that is why i’m gonna say thank you for watching and i’ll see you next time goodbye You Video Information
