NEW SNAPSHOTS & EXPERIMENTAL TERRAIN GENERATION | Minecraft Caves & Cliffs Update

As i’m sure you all know by now we just entered the busiest month to be a member of the minecraft community as a result of all of the upcoming announcements surrounding the caves and cliffs update part 2 and the unannounced 1.19 it was fully expected that by now we would have

Heard something about upcoming experimental and main line snapshots which is why in this video i’m going to be talking about the new capes and cliffs experimental terrain generation which was just added as a part of the experimental snapshot six and was announced and talked about by a

Developer over at marjan known as henrik all of that and more will be in this video so if you do go on to enjoy it be sure you drop it a like and subscribe if you’re around here for daily minecraft videos let me know down below in the comments when you think mainline

Snapshots will begin for the caves and cliffs update part two but without going on for any longer let’s get right into the video now to start off let’s look at where all of this began with the tweet from henrik over on twitter sang okay minecrafters we’ve now shipped wonder 18 experimental

Snapshot 6 with twigged by on placement and caviar ocean floors and other mostly minor stuff try it out ideally in survival and give us feedback and then down below shows the little teaser image for the experimental snapshot 6. now i believe the most interesting thing to note about this tweet yet again the

Developers over at mojang are encouraging us to test this out in survival and this indicates that they’re really focusing down on the gameplay of the update and how it actually feels in survival which is the core minecraft mode which is definitely exciting because it kind of feels like we’re

Drawing to the end of the snapshot period and the release date is definitely getting closer it’s all well and good maljank added in some awesome looking mountains and terrain generation but if it does not work in survival and it breaks up the whole gameplay loop of

Minecraft then it just will not work out and this is why maldrank has been continuously encouraging us to play in survival so that they know how well this update actually works in the core mode of minecraft so that they do not mess anything up and so that people remain

Happy and do not get angry about the update now let’s go over to the link provided which leads to this minecraft.net article saying new world generation in java available for testing an experimental caves and clips update snapshot has arrived and then it says update september the 1st snapshot 6 is

Shipped try it out and give us feedback scroll down for the changelog and the download link now the most interesting things to note here is where it says with the kegs and cliffs update part one released we’re currently hard at work at delivering the second chapter in the

Caves and clips update part two we’re not only updating the caves and adding new mountains but we’re also changing the overall terrain generation to make it all fit together as these features will bring pretty big changes we would love your feedback we need to sort out some technical things

Before we can ship these in a normal java snapshot or bedrock beta so in the meantime we’ve created an experimental snapshot for java that you can download separately that way you can try out all the new world generation and provide us with feedback while we continue our

Grand work of terraforming the world of minecraft and integrating it into our normal snapshot and beta series what follows is actually the full change log i’m not going to talk about the entire thing in this video so if you want to check that out i’ll put a link down

Below in the description the main things they’ll do include tweaks to the terrain generation the mountain generation um a lot of fixed bugs and reduce the number of water springs quite a few changes to um that kind of stuff just the terrain generation overall which is definitely

Very good to see we’ve been talking about henrik and what he’s been posting recently on twitter so all of this is not really a big surprise to some of us that have been paying a bit more in-depth attention to what’s actually going on but if we go down to the very

Bottom of this article again it does yet again say when will these features show up in the normal snapshots 1-18 snapshots will probably start sometime around september no nothing has changed there but the good thing to note is that this little bit of text has not been

Removed we only could have assumed that if snapshots were not ready and we entered september in order to lower our expectations mao jung would have pushed things back to october if things were not ready but it’s september the 1st as of when this snapshot was released and

Mao jung is still setting the time window of september for the snapshots so i’m guessing nothing has changed there’s been no delays and we can still expect mainline snapshots to come this month let’s now talk about what will actually make its way to the game in

Some of the first snapshots i’m going to try and avoid speculating too much but if you want to read this full article again there will be a link in the description and if we look through all of these it goes through experimental snapshot 654321 all the way through them all and from

The majority of all of these changes as it talked about at the very top there has been a lot of tweaks to the mountain generation the cave generation and the terrain generation overall to make it fit together it’s like if they did not tweak the terrain generation but

If they just dropped mountains in it would be like trying to add a separate puzzle piece to a complete puzzle piece like if you took a one piece out and tried to put a random piece um back in that same um empty slot it would result

In a mess right so what mao jang are currently doing is trying to make a new puzzle a complete puzzle that fits together and works together fairly evenly and just to make it not broken and a complete mess from this and from what we’ve saw in the experimental

Snapshots do not forget none of this is currently in the game technically yet this is all experimental snapshots which is separate from normal snapshots so when we get our first actual snapshot sometime this month do not expect anything insane we’ve already heard from king d dogs it’s likely not going to be

The warden or the deep dark if we look at what’s being added in the experimental snapshots already i’m pretty sure mao jung is storing all of this away and preparing it for one big snapshot which i expect to be the first one do not forget this will bring a lot of

Changes with it because the first snapshot is always one of the most impactful so it makes sense if mojang compiled all of the changes made in these six experimental snapshots so far and put them into one actual snapshot ready for when it is set to be released we do not

Know when this will be or if we set to get any more experimental snapshots it really does not clarify right here in um this new change log but i think that we’re getting pretty close at least we’ve saw henrik talk about the changes

A lot so i do not know if we’ll be too far away at all but i’m not trying to get anyone’s helps up at the same time the main thing of note that we should take away from all of this though is that mojang are currently working hard

On the caves and cliffs of date part two mainly the terrain generation because that’s the majority of the content that’s left we’ve saw all the blocks already we’ve saw most of the mobs and we’ve saw quite a few new gameplay mechanics and features all that’s really

Left for mao zhang to work on is the terrain generation so do not be surprised if we see a lot more about this just little tiny tweaks to cave generation and um maybe even the mountain generation do not be surprised at all do not be expecting anything crazy

But that is all i would expect at the moment nothing more nothing less just a bunch of things that have already been talked about but it’s good to see that henrik and the rest of the maljang team are still working on this trying to perfect it and make it as good as

Possible we’ve all wanted a terrain update for minecraft for such a long time and some people have been saying they want an overworld update it seems like mojanger trying to do two things at once here where instead of just dropping new mountains down from the sky and

Calling it a day mel jungle trying to make them fit seamlessly with the rest of the minecraft world which is definitely good to see we’ve saw henrik talk about this with um changing the beaches and the shorelines and a bunch of other stuff like that but it is

Definitely very exciting so be sure to let me know what you think of this down below in the comments go and play some minecraft everyone have an amazing day and i’ll see you all tomorrow goodbye You
