wattles – The Minecraft 1.17 Ice Caves Biome is SO COOL

Top of the morning to you it’s me your boy waddles what if i told you minecraft caves and cliffs has a secret biome like not the lush caves not the drips on caves not even the deep dark those things are really cool but that’s not what i’m talking about would you believe me

Spoiler alert you definitely should in this video in the next couple minutes i’m going to show you exactly what i’m talking about and then talk a little bit about why this thing deserves to stay in the game because it’s seriously so amazing if you agree if you think this bible should

Stay in the game or if you liked today’s video then please leave a like if you didn’t hear somehow just drop that sweet sweet 1000k club merch there’s a link to it down in the description highly advise that you check it out let’s start in the past a little bit

With a little bit of backstory the first is minecraft 1.17 beta they dropped a while ago at this point and that beta goats made it into the game skip ahead a couple more betas and mountains the amazingly beautiful huge mountains were added into the betas it looked like bedrock edition was going

To be all about the mountain update while java was getting a ton of cave love however eventually that wasn’t the case skip ahead even more time and you’re a whole lot closer to today a couple weeks ago another gigantic bedrock beta dropped in that gigantic bedrock beta we got the gigantic caves

These caves are seriously just huge they honestly feel even bigger than java edition and they’re crazy and they’re massive 100 without a doubt they’re a whole lot buggier over here like this is some really really weird stuff going on here wall of lava bedrock but they’re still really really cool for

Sure so bedrock’s got these huge expansive buggy caverns generating all over the place under the ground now it’s pretty sweet up on the surface these massive huge mountains bigger than anything you’ve ever seen before these two things though and they’re in completely different spots they wouldn’t mix right

You’re wrong check out this world if you saw my video on the latest bedrock beta you might recognize it there’s a gigantic monitor range over there this thing is gigantic it’s like literally massive it’s huge this is the world seed right here if you’re lucky enough to get a

World seed like this one right here that takes the gigantic massive mountains and the huge caves and then combines them all into one in one area you’re gonna experience some really really interesting amazing looking generation so right now check out this peak we’re really high up in the world why

160. the mountains actually get way taller than this but we’re already like crazy high actually if the clouds were here i turn them off because they’re so annoying like they just get in the way but if the clouds were here we would actually be above the cloud height like super high up

This peak absolutely deteriorated over here from the ground we can immediately before even entering this thing start to see some of the amazing generations so we have this mountain peak up here supported by this thin pillar don’t ask me how it works there’s more pillars in there so that’s how that works

This pillar it’s a good pillar instead of the pillar just being made out of stone which would work but would be insanely lame we get a little bit of snow mixed in here too i feel like this combination works really well i don’t know maybe it’s just

Me but the stone with the snow it looks good but it could look even better yes for sure for sure if we move over here closer to this ledge and start looking down here we get a good taste of it right off the bat it looks good it already looks so

Good and we’re not even down in it and then when we’re inside of it it’s amazing this is the vibe this is the location of the base in 1.18 it’s so good looking the perfect combination of the brand new gigantic realistic looking snowy mountains with the amazing cave shapes with the

Pillars with everything it’s a snow cape it’s a literal snow cave so check out the ground all over the place in here on the ground it is a little bit dark but all over the place we have snow it’s not stone it’s not granite it’s not dirt really

It’s not diorite it’s snow literally snow that’s so cool now over here i placed the lanterns on so we could actually like get the vibe of the cave actually see a little bit better but not just have the night vision vibe like the lanterns are a little bit more

Survival friendly so check this out in here we have a stone ceiling and then we have snow all over the ground in here tons of coal because we’re really high up in the mountains like this would be amazing to find early game you could easily like set up a cool base

In here have the coal all over the place but wait it gets even better it’s not only cold because we’re in the mountains emerald too there’s the emerald in this mountain which is so cool even more cold even more snow now in this cave right here it’s all just

Normal snow like the snow you can’t sink into it gets better trust me i’ll show you in a second but snow everywhere with the stone with all of the ores this is so cool looking inside of a gigantic mountain all the way up at y 127 right now

That’s absurd but it gets better trust me so over here uh check this out we have this generation right there that would be a new cave however there’s nothing here to to be a cave it’s just open air but let’s say there was like land here or something we

Would have a gigantic cave reaching this way and then going down over here to check this out this gigantic snowy slope right there that goes down into here and then it actually just kind of cuts off oh wait no it doesn’t look at this it gets so

Much better so down here this does kind of become like a normal cave but over here up the waterfall even more snowy cave if i sound excited it’s because i am because this is so cool looking so we have even more snowy cave it goes up this way almost looks

Like it ends but it doesn’t wraps around this way keeps going this way and then it actually ends i dug around a little bit over here and yeah this is the real end over here so it’s pretty cool uneventful end but cool so if we go back this way and follow the

Cave we go down we go up right here then we keep going all the way up back over to where we just were here’s the obliterated peak again very cool looking this cave with night vision now super bright we can see everything it looks good but then over here it gets even better

Poor rabbits so excited they can’t even live so it’s basically one of those new gigantic like diagonal caves almost looks like a ravine if we fly out this way and then turn around it literally is a gigantic ravine cutting through this massive mountain and then down here at the bottom of this

Thing a literal tree growing inside of this area snow all over the place and then uh-huh or and then over here ice as well and the ice actually goes down into the water here this is real water because of the night vision it looks like nothing’s here but yeah

It’s all water so it’s essentially an iceberg in here that we could swim around underneath it’s a gigantic snowy cold frozen ice cave snow okay whatever you want to call it amazing it’s amazing and then yeah right here like i kind of fell into we have powder snow inside of the cave too

Which is so cool like it’s everything good about the mountains but it gets even better because the powder snow has the potential to get pretty deep in here in some places especially on the slopes like look at this like this is crazy i would almost be trapped in

Or maybe even literally trapped in i would have to dig my way out so as far as i could find that pretty much does it for that cave system right there it cuts through this gigantic mountain kind of begins over here is icy down there with gigantic icebergs basically

Huge cavern over here where i put the lanterns would be perfect for like some kind of snow base and then it continues down this way but this isn’t the only cave in this mountain if we go up over this mountain this way somewhere over here there’s another cave

Here it is this cave is a whole lot smaller though so check this out i removed the night vision and we move into this cave and survival we’re checking it out but then right off the bat powder snow and it’s a whole lot harder to tell than this powder snow you still can

Definitely tell but it’s a little bit harder because it’s darker if we keep moving back into here powder snow all over the place in here because it’s darker powder snow actually gets a whole lot more dangerous like imagine finding one of these icy caves you go back into it

For whatever reason you’re checking it out and then you fall into a pit of powder snow because it’s the dark cave maybe like a creep responds over there runs over to you blows up it’s all sad it’s all bad and seriously check this out it blends so much better in the darkness

Right here normal snow over here powder snow and it just matches so much better in the darkness because it’s actually dark in here powder snow actually becomes a challenge and i love that so back at minecraft live when the caves and cliffs update was announced three bombs were revealed the lush caves

The drip stone caves and the deep dark if you want to call that a biome i’m pretty sure the devs have mentioned a couple times now before the update split but a couple times that those were the only planned biomes for the cave update this biome right here even though it’s

Most likely entirely accidental it should stay in the update this is such an amazing opportunity for some type of snowy cave and it’s so easy to like the generation is literally already creating the snowy cave right here if left entirely like this like just left alone these caves would only generate up high

In the mountains sometimes not even all the times because sometimes the mountains are just solid sometimes though you’d find this really cool generation and it would be amazing as it is right here this is a super unique base location and it’s just really cool but it also has an absurd amount of

Potential but i want to show you another cool cave that i found this is an entirely new world right here the numbers pause the video copy them so this is what we’re looking at we have another gigantic mountain range this one is actually a whole lot

Closer to spawn you can actually spot it from spawn and the seat itself is actually crazy we have a village over there a jungle over there a tiger but wait it gets even better look at this woodland mansion from spawn by the swamp biome tons of bio variation in here

Another huge mountain over there that i actually didn’t even go over to and check out just an amazing world this is like perfect you couldn’t ask for anything better but right here inside of this mountain we get literally spoiled so check this out a gigantic snowy slope entering this cave right here

That goes down and twists down it gets really really deep in here and then ice all over the place in here an entire frozen water pit but then it’s not actually fully frozen you can actually move down into it a little bit you can actually kind of see the water

Generation down there below the ice it’s pretty strange over here we have snow literally snow generating underneath the ice the ice wraps around this big stone thing right here and then over here even more stone now it’s only so bright because of night vision and survival without night vision

Is not gonna look exactly like this but it’s all gonna generate like this it’ll be here moving down this way to the other end we kind of just have a dead end but there is more snow under the ice that we can see and there’s coal

All over the place in here because we’re in a mountain so gigantic chunks of coal i saw some emerald chunks outside of the cave too but just in general the cave is such a cool shape i had to show it off and then actually back here back corner i don’t

Know why you would stand here but if you stood here powder snow it’s frozen there’s also an exit over here too right here you’ll have to dig out a couple blocks but it’s an exit this generation like this is most likely entirely accidental because this is a cave at this point after all

But it’s amazing looking and it definitely shouldn’t be changed like with the ice down there and everything this area feels so unique and really interesting you thought that cave was cool right uh well same mountain right here we’re on the other side now though

This cave is a cave it’s less of a cave because it’s so open but it’s a cave we have trees in here kind of cutting it off but check this out look at this right here a literal spotter inside of this snow cave right here you could literally set up your whole

Basement here have this amazing view of the woodland mansion even have a zombie spawner right there and then have like more of your base up here on top of the mountain all the way up at like y 150 woodland mansion giant mountain in the distance other mountains this seed this seed is

Even better than the last one and if mountain caves aren’t for you move down here and you have a normal cave that’s very flat though kind of weird the other one’s better okay so that’s the mountain range that we were just at really gigantic and cool let’s move over

To this one because check it out there’s even more snow cave generation in here this one’s a little less impressive but snow cape technically technically there is some snow in here there’s just water this time but technically true in one of the caves and cliffs update honestly at this point i

Don’t know if it’s gonna be 1.17 or 1.18 but in one of the caves and cliffs updates we’re gonna have biomes all over the world lunch caves drip zone caves all the bottoms on the surface the mountains things like that and i would argue that if this were to

Stay in the game like this generation this totally should become some kind of ice cave snow cave whatever you want to call it it should totally get its own biome like look at this we’re going down into the caves right here there’s literally lava inside of this cave snow everywhere

Coal everywhere like this is its own biome for sure the fact that we’re inside of a cave here too to me makes this place feel even more cool sometimes you can get really lucky and actually find some tree generation inside of some of these caves too

This is like right on the edge of the cave you can see the opening right there and yeah tree inside of the cape this one is crazy though this actually winds up through this entire mountain range basically this one goes even higher up this is the same one as the lava one still

All connected even more snow in here crazy oh look it’s actually powder snow it’s actually powder snow in here as of right now the icy caves are technically just a weird generation feature not necessarily a biome but it definitely deserves to be at the least this icy snowy cave generation

Deserves to stay in the game at the most this place deserves to become its own bio and oh boy custom biome that’s where things start to get crazy because if we have a custom biome we could have unique terrain generation maybe different plants maybe different mobs spawning the possibilities here are literally endless
