The exact purpose of these blocks is unclear, but amethyst crystals can be used to create telescopes. This is another type of rare random structures where amethyst crystals and blocks of amethyst geodes are generated. This can be used on clay pots to paint drawings, then clay pots can be burned and get a stronger dish. Archaeological fragments are available in different colors and patterns. Using a brush, you can clear blocks to get archaeological fragments. Archaeological ExcavationĪrchaeological excavations is a new structure where you can find archaeological items and ceramic fragments. If a creature falls on the stalagmite, it will take damage that can lead to death. Stalactites can fall, but unlike sand and gravel, this will collapse when falling on the floor. These caves consist of blocks of stalactite and stalagmite.
In the lush caves, a variety of new vegetation is generated and glowing berries can be found there! This is a great place to set up an initial base for survival and go to search for new places further into the depths of the cave system. Lush caves are generated under Azalea trees.
To add new cave biomes, the developers will completely update the cave generation system in Minecraft 1.17 “Caves and Cliffs”, making the caves much bigger! By increasing underground biomes, a player with a small chance can run into systems of cave lakes and rivers! Mountain goats are able to attack other creatures and their attack can push them off a cliff! In the future, this feature can be used to use in different mechanisms and players will have to build fences with a height of 4 blocks. Goats are generated in rocky biomes and they can jump high, thus overcoming difficult obstacles. Now your adventures will become much more dangerous because on the way the player will generate impassable rocks that are better to avoid or challenge the danger and try to get over it thereby saving a little time.
The developers have finally announced the mountains update, which will be part of the main game update! Cliffs update will bring a new generation of large mountain ranges and mountain goats to the game. This is a very popular toy around the world and now players can tame it to light up underwater bases or make a glowing pool. The glowing octopus won the mob vote at Minecraft Live 2020 and will be added to the game with the next update. Only the main features are known, but closer to the release, Mojang can significantly expand this list.
