Hello everybody my name is iceberg lettuce and today we are here in minecraft snapshot 21w06a for minecraft 1.17 which has increased the world height and added new cave generations so let’s get right into that so first up let’s talk about the increased world height because bedrock now generates at y Equals negative 64. so bedrock is actually below y equals zero now and the world stretches all the way up to the top at 320 so this means that in total from y equals negative 64 to y equals 320 you have uh 384 blocks vertically to work with which is Obviously a pretty big increase from the original 256 blocks that has been in place for basically forever next up let’s talk about how these caves actually generate so the game now uses a cave noise system to generate caves in two different types which are cheese and spaghetti Cheese caves are like this just big holes like in swiss cheese and spaghetti caves obviously as the name implies are you know winding paths like spaghetti in addition the game will now generate large pools of water in these caves using an aquifer system that basically selects an area And fills it with water at a certain height and this is actually different for every aquifer so you’ll get big pools of water at different heights in different places of a cave in addition at the bottom of these aquifers you’ll sometimes find small patches of magma blocks Because of the changes to world height and cave generation old worlds are no longer compatible with new snapshots at least for the moment so this might change in the future you might later be able to upgrade your old worlds to 1.17 new cave generation but at the moment it is not possible to Upgrade your old worlds to this snapshot and a couple of changes to the drip leaf plant uh you can no longer prevent the drip leak from falling just by crouching on top of it and using a projectile on the big drip leaf plant will no longer break it it Will just cause it to drop out from under whoever is standing on it so that is just about all there is to talk about i hope you all enjoyed watching and see you next time everybody Bye You Video Information
