Minecraft 1.18.10 has been released on all platforms. It’s essentially a small precursor to the long-awaited Wild Update, which is all about nature and “Scary Stuff”, and is slated for a June 2022 release.
How about this current update, released on 8 February? Well, what you’ll notice most about 1.18.10 (which, to be clear, is a patch to the Cliffs and Caves 2 update) is that it is, shall we say? Fantastic? Frogalicious? Either way, it’s mostly amphibians with this release. The highlight of the updates is the addition of frogs and tadpoles.

Minecraft Update 1.18 – Caves and Cliffs Part 2 Launch Time
Update 1.18 Caves and Cliffs Part 2 will be released today, November 30, 2021, at 18:00 GMT / 10 :00 PDT. Of course, there’s always the possibility that this release time will be changed if developer Mojang encounters issues with updating the game, but if that happens, they’ll likely let us know ahead of time on their official Twitter page. That said, let’s see what this new update will bring. Caves are bound to have a huge – in the literal sense of the word – change. They will be almost completely overhauled and will now fit much better and more smoothly into the existing world suits. Three new types of noisy caves will be added: cheese caves (which are huge), spaghetti caves (thin and long), and noodle caves (smaller than spaghetti caves).
Two new cave biomes will also be added to the game. The first of these is the Lush Caves biome. Unlike most other caves, Lush Caves will have much more plant life inside them. The second is Dripstone Cave. Made up of stalactites, this cave is full of stalagmites and stalactites. In addition to this “Caves” section, “Cliffs” will also undergo some changes. Six new sub-biomes are coming to the mountain region: Mountain Meadow, Mountain Grove, Snowy Slopes, Stony Peaks, Snow Capped Peaks and Lofty Peaks.
When is Caves and Cliffs Part 2 coming out?
While no release date has been announced for the Minecraft 1.18 update, Mojang has stated that you can expect the Caves and Cliffs update in the second half of 2021.
Mojang is been forced to breach the Caves and Cliffs update in two parts due to its colossal size and due to the struggles of remote working being faced during a global pandemic. The first half of the update introduced a plethora of new items to the game, including several new blocks, tools, and even axolotls.
Meet the goats in the mountains
Probably the most famous new addition says “Baaa”… Goats are making their way into the world of Minecraft. When goats aren’t climbing mountains, they love to chew on cloves. Since these stubborn horned animals are quite aggressive and will deliver a ramming attack to anyone who gets too close to them, one thing needs to be done: watch out!
A more familiar animal is finally introduced to Vanilla: the glowing octopus. Already known from Minecraft Earth, the glowing animals of the deep sea will now also roam the regular world of Minecraft. Underwater creatures otherwise behave like normal squid and have a slight glow effect. If you defeat one of the special squids, you can get a glowing ink bag.
