I spent nearly four hours caving in a new world yesterday and I stayed in the same cave system. Everything was just connected and it was the most fun I've had in vanilla minecraft in so long

Its funny nobody has talked about how insane the oceans are now, with the subnautica style deep dark underwater caving, great for underwater building

My favorite part of this update is actually not the new caves or the terrain generation, but the new mob spawning mechanics. Sufficient lighting is always a key part of building in survival and it has always felt like you had to go out of your way so much to alter your builds to properly incorporate lighting so that a creeper wouldn't blow up what you worked hard to build. In my opinion that has always detracted from the fun of building. Now that isn't as much of a factor and you can actually focus more on making the build look the way you want it to look.

Pro tip: Iron, coal, and emerald are way high up in mountains exposed to air more common than you think!

the new generation makes it feel like points of interest are more unique, I get way less lost bc the terrain has way more personality

Personally I would have liked to see a miners helmet with the cave update. I feel that it would have really added to the caves.Maybe give it the same durability as a gold helmet and the crafting recipe of a latern and gold helmet so that you can't get it right out of the gate but something to shoot for.

genuinely never had more fun in minecraft in YEARS than i do now, exploring the new caves is actually so, so awesome. I remember being pissed that I couldn’t find a cave, and just leaping into a large lake to find some coal, and then I break a block and suddenly fall three hundred blocks down into the biggest cave I have EVER seen. It was monster-ridden and full of stories of water, I had so much fun parkouring around and trying to survive. I ended up with half a stack of diamonds and a genuinely amazing time

After a long time caves and cliffs has finally came.

Something about the light for mob spawning being lower: This means you can use dark-ish areas in a build now more than you could before.

Man. I remember playing this game back in like 2011. How far it’s come. So many hours of my childhood went into this game

Correction on the cave generation you described on this video:

There are actually 4 cave types,
Cheese, noodles, spaghetti, and carvers

Carvers are the old cave and ravine gen that they kept for legacy reasons, like how they kept the diamond texture
You also mistaken this cave gen with the noodle cave gen which is completely different from carvers

Spaghetti caves are the very wide and long passage ways that are twice the size of carvers, noodles caves are virtually the same except significantly smaller and more cramped

Hope that this clears up any confusion about cave gen, love your vids wattl!

The new generation makes it feel like a different game, and I’m really liking it

I love this update. Me and my friend we want to build system of towers in castle in a big cave in survival. We managed to find humongous beautiful one under huge mountains. It's amusing and so incredibly beautiful in a way. Can't wait for the updated optifine.

4:27 I just started a world and found a cave atleast 5 times the size of that cave, and it was connected for 4 different caves that were just as big if not bigger. There are so many smaller caves attached to it too. I still just barley scratched the surface of 2 of those caves....its insane.

I wish salmon could spawn above 64. Salmon are known for swimming up rivers, so finding ponds and water features with the rare salmon would be awesome.

I came back to Minecraft after a few years and created a single player world. I was so surprised to see the new cave systems and being able to go to negative y values. I'm gonna head back in now and explore some more!

I realize it's a running joke at this point but I'm pretty sure you can justify the 1->4 expansion of cut copper by assuming the cut blocks are actually hollow, consisting of bent sheets of copper. That'd be why you need the stonecutter to get that benefit, since you wouldn't be able to make sheets of copper with your crafting table as such.

I discovered this yesterday and have spent days just exploring. I found out the pigs are entirely different in the nether now. Lots off underground's, keep on falling into them. It just keeps getting better and better.

[randaranatunga]

Ah yes, long video from Wattles that isn’t a guide video? (I still love the guide tho)

It’s rare and it’s a gem and I’m happy it’s here, thank you Wattles.
