CALCITE MOUNTAINS, Fjord Rivers, Cave Changes, + More! | Minecraft 1.18 Experimental Snapshot 4

Good morning gamers it’s me phoebe bridgers welcome back to kyoto also known as minecraft i can’t waste any time today truly i hate to start this video so anxiously but we don’t have any time to spare something gigantic has happened massive perhaps even the best to test snapshot change it’s test sound

Number four now warnings i don’t know i don’t need them i don’t it’s has snapchat number four now all right so well i’m stuck on zero roll a clip okay actually never mind i don’t really have time for that kind of stuff today but a while ago i i said that there

Should be more calcite like maybe a little bit more calcite like like in the mountains right like calcite mountains imagine it you don’t have to ruin the geode the geode survives the mountain is calcite it looks good ah yeah syria i don’t know what i was doing with my fov why it’s

Like that but a brand new world it looks good kelside mountains this week there has been a gigantic change to one mountain bomb the stoney peaks bible the stony peaks biome it generates in and we have lots of stone including do you see what that is do you see what that is

Yes that’s right this is the best day in history ever gamers we’ve done it the kelside mountains are here in today’s video we’re going to break down 1.18 test snapshot number four if you like this video remember to leave a like and subscribe doing both of those things

Will have the channel out huge time and also help yourself out because it should protect you from things like sleep paralysis demons wendigos you know bad things like that so consider it so i’m sorry lately actually i’m not sorry i’ve been very excited about this 1.18 stuff it’s cool minecraft is basically turning

Into minecraft 2.0 this change i basically cannot handle it calcite inside of the mountains this is amazing the calcite chunks we can actually get more calcite easily and the geodes that are already amazing looking we don’t actually have to destroy them this is this is great i don’t usually lie and

Today is one of those days in the intro i said we’re breaking down 1.18 test snapshot number four that is the plan the fourth experimental snapshot for 1.18 seems to be a little bit smaller than 1.18 snapshot number three on screen right now you can see all of the

Changes and test snapshot number four there are a lot uh tons of terrain adjustments here but yeah probably not as many as in 1.18 test snapshot 3. which means if you’ve been waiting for regular 1.18 snapshots like not the test ones that could be good news if the test

Snapshots get smaller things get a little bit more polished up then it’s snapshot time this week let’s start off with stone specifically stone shorts as of this week’s test snapshot stone shores will now generate with layers of gravel diorite and deciding granite this should make the stone shores feel a

Little bit less blotchy a little bit more consistent now speaking of blotchy that’s awkward but i think this is what the changelog the devs are talking about here we have a strip of andesite in there yeah that looks pretty good this over here yeah it looks pretty normal i

Mean i don’t think it’s that big of a problem though but yeah if we are able to find more stone shores over here they should be a little bit less blotchy to be honest i don’t know what’s going on there so we’re just going to move on not

To brag but i’m an official gamer i have more than one monitor looking at the changelog on my second monitor while i’m looking at the shore on the first monitor i don’t know i don’t see very much about shoreline changes but i have to say this is a really nice shoreline

Like i love how this thing just drops off into the sea the savannah right there uh the plains the forest whatever’s going on here i think that’s a really solid shoreline that looks good the beach over here next to this forest also looks really really good that’s a

Pretty normal looking beach and hey a floating shipwreck oh wow okay so i don’t think this is technically a stone shore it’s another drop off into the ocean which is cool but look at this in here how the water goes into the cave oh that’s amazing looking you would have

Never seen something like this before that is so cool with the glow like it in there too wow that’s amazing the only thing that could make that better is that being like a lush game or something that’s some amazing looking generator hey look at that badlands so this is kind of

Actually perfect let’s talk a little bit about biome placement if i’m being 100 honest uh if you saw that video talking about microbiomes that i posted a couple days ago yeah i thought biome generation placement in 1.18 test snapshot 3 maybe wasn’t the best this week it’s been reverted changed

Adjusted a little so there are a couple big changes that have happened this week uh first off the badlands and the deserts the badlands and deserts are now less likely to show up as ugly microbiome splotches that’s exactly how the changelog put it that’s probably the best way to describe it those really

Strange microbiomes that were happening they should be happening less now the biome should be a little bit more smooth now this is just one spot in this world but this feels really really good like the desert is sizable lots of water in the desert which is kind of cool that’s

A little different look at this right here this is really interesting how this is all caught up we have the jungle over here the jungle over there the desert there which actually kind of like i think that’s cool and then the warm ocean in the middle like that’s really

Really good feeling this is where we are this is the world seat if you’re curious yeah this feels really good with the warm motion next to all these warm biomes now speaking of warm biomes biomes should generate a little bit more consistently if you have a warm biome it

Should be more likely to generate next to another warm biome so like right here this is perfect warm ocean jungle very warm desert very very warm bad lens pretty warm too moving around in here from the small bits that i’ve seen of test snapshot 4 already i would say that

This is the best feeling generation out of all of the 1.18 test snapshots so far like look at this thing that’s a consistent and solid mountain the river in here it’s pretty consistent doesn’t get cut up too much it does a little bit right there but i think that’s fine

Gigantic cave generating in there which is cool and then yeah the river continues all the way through gigantic hills on either side not too close which makes it a lot better to travel through this is like the grand canyon right here like look at this thing i’ve never been

To the grand canyon but i feel like this is a canyon and it does look pretty grand like that feels good aside from things like micro bombs one of the most annoying parts of the 1.18 generation is when you have two giant mountains really close to each other you have to go all

The way up you climb down to go right back up when they’re spaced out a little bit more like this it feels a whole lot better and i mean i haven’t walked around in survival until now but i would imagine that this is a whole lot more

Enjoyable to travel now let’s talk about this river because this river is a really good looking river there has been a change to how rivers generate and terrain in the snapshot to hopefully make terrain less annoying like i was just talking about here’s what i think is another example of this river change

That has happened in test snapshot 4. so the change reduce the likelihood of rivers being cut off and turning into steep drive river gorges and mountainous terrain instead something different is going to happen fjord phoebe bjord fjord fjord it sounds like a swedish word it looks like a swedish word but i think

It’s english swedish or not fjord this is a fjord right here potentially it could be statistically speaking i’m like 95 sure that this is a fjord and that five percent chance that i am wrong then i never said anything about this so a few we have the hill on this side that

Is really steep the hill over here that is really steep but a wider river in the middle so the river like forces its way through here you could actually travel down this thing on a boat there’s that really cozy island behind us it all feels so good like this is getting me

Even more excited for the 1.18 generation now this is actually the same river that continues over this way uh widens a little bit in here almost starts to feel like a lake another big hill over there which feels so good another giant hill right there it keeps

Going through this way and look at how wide this thing is like this is really really wide this is good definitely going to need a boat when exploring a little bit more but that’s fine because the river looks amazing we keep going down this way eventually the river is

Going to turn and then curve over to where we just were the grand canyon and minecraft this is amazing but it gets even better this is amazing looking but it could get old eventually so the devs will build something else into the game to make it not get old rivers will

Either form a fjord or a saddle valley a saddle valley is basically a lower part of land connecting to mountains let’s say this terrain generation tried to happen right here but the river just didn’t work out for some reason then we could expect the land to kind of like

Curve down a little bit not go all the way down to the river but like curve and kind of like connect over if you can imagine that aside from cal side mountains this is probably the biggest change in this week’s snapshot and it’s amazing from the rivers that i’ve seen

They look like real rivers like this looks like one of those data packs that i showcased a while ago that actually made rivers like deep and real looking like look at how good this thing is and it goes like really deep in there the rivers the mountains the high variation

In general it feels so much more natural in the snapshot and so much more manageable another perfect example pretty much every river that i find in this mountain area cuts through here and ends up looking amazing a small island in there that’s so cool it cuts down this way towards the savannah really

Steep shores in here jungle all over the place that looks good next up i’ve sent myself really far away so i could find a brand new stony peak spot the sony peaks bomb that i was just at a second ago at the very beginning of the video admittedly

Wasn’t the most impressive stony peaks bio this tony peaks biome it looks a little bit better look at this right here calcite now generates in the mountains we can find the stuff generating in the piece by them up top and blotches this is huge this is one of

The changes that i really really was hoping would happen in 1.18 calcite it gets more common this stuff needs to be more common because it’s such a cool block now you don’t have to rip up geodes you go to the mountains and look at the sony peaks right here even more

Calcite over there even more over there even more over there it’s like banding through the mountain which looks really really cool same with the granite same with the andesite same with the diorite i don’t think i even need to say very much more about this change it is self-explanatory pure perfection calcite

Inside of the mountains look at how cool that looks mountain peeking over the forest the jungle with calcite calcite generating in the mountains i feel like this one could be divisive i saw a lot of people saying that this should stay inside of amethyst yields so what do you

Think do you think it’s good do you think it’s bad put it in the comments here’s another cool view of my favorite 1.18 test snapshot change the calcite peeking through in the mountains again it looks so good in this week’s test snapshot changes are really everywhere

Of course up in the stony peaks with the calcite the rivers the fjords the saddle valleys they’re great also under the ground near the surface you should find less granite diorite and undecide blops this is to make the ground at the surface look a little bit more

Consistent under the ground and in the mountains you should be able to find more iron across the board this is also probably a good thing looking around in this one specific cave it definitely looks like i can spot a lot of iron around the walls now it’s just one cave

Could be a random one-off thing but yeah looks like there’s a lot of iron here finally something interesting is happening to the drip stone caves too as of this snapshot more copper will actually generate in the drip zone cave so if you’re looking for copper your

Best bet is going to be drip zone caves biome or one of those gigantic copper ore veins but yeah drip stone caves look at all this copper tons of copper over there over there on that wall over here over there this stuff is literally everywhere inside of this drip zone cave

There’s so much copper here finally finally this is what the drip zone caves needs see compared to the lush caves by em whoa look at the geode that’s crazy but compared to the lush caves biome yeah the drifts on caves is just so lacking this is definitely a step in the

Right direction copper in the drip zone caves yeah i could get used to that if you’re curious about this spot though uh same seed still uh this is the spot geode and the biome blend that’s pretty sweet this week’s swamp placement has been tweaked a little bit

And swamp should stay a little bit closer to the shore i think this is a decent example of that happening over here i mean i know this isn’t really an ocean but the swamp is staying pretty close to the land this swamp in here is actually pretty significant too we have

A little bit of water in there staying close to the land obviously like in the middle of it going down that way reaching pretty far that way actually and then going over this way same thing happening over here again the swamp gets a little bit more watery but stays

Pretty close to the land in the context of the swamp biome and what it is and making it unique i feel like this change makes sense random snowy slopes file oh this is ironic that’s weird made snowy slopes less dirty again for real this time is the change and

That’s a lot of dirt that’s a lot of dirt i mean over here though to be vera over here this is not very much dirt that looks pretty good wait wait wait wait this actually isn’t even snowy slopes never mind this is the grove okay i still do think that looks a little

Strange though maybe there shouldn’t be as much dirt in the grove either but the snowy slopes yup definitely snowy filled with snow i’m gonna have to say that one was my bed that was my bed this week there were also some changes to the temples desert temples tend to be

Partially buried jungle temples and desert temples are less in the water but just like that that is pretty much it for 1.18 test snapshot number four these are all of the changes right here and this is such an amazing seat look at this mountain behind me with the

Giant waterfall on it i’m very excited about this one i have to explore it more and check out more generation but genuinely from what i’ve seen so far this feels like the best version of 1.18 generation and it’s like miles ahead of the second best like this generation is

Solid i’m really happy with what the devs have done to the cosine of this test snapshot i think it’s really good and the fjord river thing that is awesome that’s it for minecraft 1.18 test snapshot number four noodle pork swoopy louvers medical boomstick thank you all so much for the support if you
