New World Generation Features
Caves
Now the caves look completely different as the result of being reworked. Now they stretch down to Y= -59 and consist of two types of blocks depending on the depth. Down to Y= 0, the caves mostly consist of the ordinary stone block, while the layers below will consist of deepslate. Such blocks as earth, dirt, andesite, and granite are not generated in the deepslate layer, so they can be found only above Y= 0. The ores in a cave are generated depending on a block type; that is, in stone caves, the ore will be in the form of a stone, whereas in deepslate caves, they will be inside a deepslate.
Fissures and noise caves were added. The fissures are very similar to canyons but are narrow and stretch much deeper. There are also new ore veins that are elongated ore formations of enormous size consisting of ores and some other blocks. They can be of two types — copper and iron. Copper veins are generated together with granite at the level above 0, while iron veins generate together with tuff and are situated below 0.
Mountains
Mountains are now related to six different biomes.
Mountain Meadow
It is the lowest mountain layer, which is an ordinary meadow but located at the foot of a mountain. There are a lot of flowers there, and the plants have a slightly different color resembling a mixture of green with a light blue shade. It is possible for villages to generate in this biome. It is a habitat of rabbits, sheep, and donkeys.
Mountain Grove
This biome mainly consists of snow blocks and resembles the snowy taiga. Its vegetation consists of spruce trees. It is a habitat of numerous kinds of animals, including pigs, sheep, chickens, cows, wolves, foxes, and rabbits. Pillager outposts can also be encountered there.
Snowy Slopes
They mainly consist of powder snow blocks and ice. They are generated on the slopes of a mountain, given there is a plain or a snowy tundra at the foot of it. Very few kinds of creatures live there: only rabbits and goats, as well as igloos and pillager outposts when it comes to the hostile ones.
Peaks
Peaks come in three different varieties: stone, frozen, and jagged. A rocky peak generates if a mountain is high enough and there is at least one of the following biomes at the foot of it: desert, jungle, savanna, or wasteland. Frozen peaks are generated if there are snow biomes near the mountains. Only goats live there. A jagged peak is a mixture of the rocky and frozen peak biomes. That is, it consists of blocks of snow and stone. Only goats spawn there.
Changes
Blocks
Big Dripleaf
A big dripleaf can now be placed in the game world only on certain types of blocks, including clay, coarse dirt, dirt, farmland, grass block, moss block, mycelium, podzol, and rooted dirt. It is the list of all the blocks, on which one can put a big dripleaf, others will not apt.
