** Can be found on rare occasions in [[Minecraft:stronghold]] corridor chests, or much more rarely in [[Minecraft:dungeon]] chests.
** Has a blue and green color to the ring area of the disc.

=== World generation ===
'''[[File:EnvSprite cave.png|16px]] [[Minecraft:Cave]]s'''
* Completely overhauled.
* Now stretch down to Y=-64.
* The caves now generate in 2 layers of different stone bases depending on the depth.
** The layer above Y=9 is made up of regular [[Minecraft:stone]].
** Stone transitions to [[Minecraft:deepslate]] from Y=8 to Y=0.
** Deepslate completely replaces stone from Y=0 to [[Minecraft:bedrock]].
*** Certain types of ores and structures still generate in the deepslate layer, as well as [[Minecraft:tuff]] and [[Minecraft:gravel]].
*** [[Minecraft:Dirt]], [[Minecraft:diorite]], [[Minecraft:granite]] and [[Minecraft:andesite]] do not generate in this layer.
* Biomes such as the [[Minecraft:dripstone caves]] and [[Minecraft:lush caves]] now generate in the underground.
* Contain [[Minecraft:aquifers]], bodies of [[Minecraft:water]] with different heights, independent of sea level (Y=63).
** Aquifers below Y=0 sometimes generate with lava instead of water.
* Improved old caves to blend in with the new generations of caves better
* New noise caves, coming in 3 forms, "cheese", "spaghetti", and "noodle".
** Cheese caves have large stone towers stretching from the bottom of the cave to the top, and are often large enough to allow safe elytra flight.
** Spaghetti caves are long, thin caves that have small aquifers and are more similar to original caves.
** Noodle caves are thinner, squigglier, and more claustrophobic variants of spaghetti caves.

'''[[File:EnvSprite mountain.png|16px]] [[Minecraft:Mountains]]'''
* Comes in 6 sub-biomes:

*** Plains [[Minecraft:village]]s and [[Minecraft:pillager outpost]]s can generate in this biome.
** [[File:BiomeSprite grove.png|16px]] [[Minecraft:Grove]]
*** Generates in the slopes of a snowy mountain when next to forested biomes.
*** Reminiscent of a [[Minecraft:snowy taiga]] with a surface of [[Minecraft:Snow Block|snow blocks]] and [[Minecraft:powder snow]], instead of [[Minecraft:grass block]]s.
*** [[Minecraft:Rabbit]]s, [[Minecraft:Wolf|wolves]], [[Minecraft:fox]]es, [[Minecraft:sheep]], [[Minecraft:pig]]s, [[Minecraft:chicken]]s and [[Minecraft:cow]]s spawn in this biome.

** [[File:BiomeSprite stony-peaks.png|16px]] [[Minecraft:Stony Peaks]]
*** One of three biomes that generate in the mountain peaks.
*** Covered in [[Minecraft:stone]], [[Minecraft:gravel]], and strips of [[Minecraft:calcite]].
*** Tends to generate in any peak surrounded by warm biomes such as [[Minecraft:jungle]]s and [[Minecraft:savanna]]s, to avoid temperature clashes.
*** No animals spawn in this biome.
*** Pillager outposts can generate in this biome.

'''[[File:EnvSprite ore-vein.png|16px]] [[Minecraft:Ore vein]]s'''

'''General'''
* [[Minecraft:Block light]] level now must be 0 for [[Minecraft:Light#Mobs|many hostile mobs]] to spawn (the [[Minecraft:sky light]] can still prevent these mobs from spawning like before).<ref>{{tweet|_Ulraf_|1414985600273428480|Some more information about: "Monsters will only spawn in complete darkness" * This means that generic monster spawning is now only in complete darkness. (Mobs that have special rules like slimes or phantoms are unaffected by this) * This only affects block-light, not sky-light}}</ref>

=== World generation ===
'''[[Minecraft:Amethyst Geode]]s'''
* Now generate up to Y=30.

'''[[Minecraft:Badlands]]'''

[[File:1-18-ore-distribution.jpg|thumb|450px|Ore distribution changes.]]
'''[[Minecraft:Ore]] distribution'''
* Changed ore generation of all ores making them have a spread value like [[Minecraft:lapis lazuli ore]]. Some still retain a linear generation alongside a spread generation.
** Coal ore attempts to generate twice: once, evenly between an altitude of Y=136 and Y=256; and as a spread, peaking at an altitude of Y=96 and generating between an altitude of Y=0 and Y=192.
** [[Minecraft:Copper ore]] generates between Y=-16 and Y=112, generating the most at Y=48 and like all other ores, uses spread. It peaks at Y=48. Bigger blobs of copper ore generate in dripstone caves.
** [[Minecraft:Iron ore]] attempts to generate three times: once as a spread peaking at an altitude of Y=256, generating above Y=80; another as a spread peaking at Y=16 and generating with a minimum height of Y=-24 and a maximum height of Y=57, and a smaller one spreading evenly between the altitudes of Y=-64 and Y=-32.
** [[Minecraft:Gold ore]] generates between the altitudes of Y=-64 and Y=32, peaking at Y=-16. Also, extra gold generates below Y=-48. The extra gold that generates in the [[Minecraft:badlands]] biome was increased, with a top height limit from Y=79 to Y=256, and increased number of blobs.
** [[Minecraft:Lapis lazuli ore]] attempts to generate twice: once, as a spread between the altitudes of Y=32 and Y=-32, peaking at an altitude of 0; and evenly between the altitudes of Y=64 and Y=-64, generating buried like [[Minecraft:ancient debris]].
** [[Minecraft:Redstone ore]] attempts to generate twice: once, evenly between an altitude of Y=15 and Y=-64; and as a spread, peaking at an altitude of -64 and generating below an altitude of Y=-32.
** [[Minecraft:Diamond ore]] now generate as a spread, generating below Y=16 and peaking at altitudes near Y=-64.
** [[Minecraft:Emerald ore]] generates above Y=-16 as a spread, peaking at Y=256 and decreasing in quantity as the [[Minecraft:altitude]] decreases.

'''[[Minecraft:Pillager outpost]]s'''
* Now generate in all the new mountain biomes.

'''[[Minecraft:Spring]]s'''
* Lava springs can now generate amid [[Minecraft:calcite]], [[Minecraft:dirt]], [[Minecraft:snow]], [[Minecraft:powder snow]] and [[Minecraft:packed ice]].
** These changes allow lava springs to generate in [[Minecraft:mountains]] and snowy terrain.
* Water springs don't generate higher than Y=192, and are less common.

'''[[Minecraft:Stony Shore]]'''
* Now generate with strips of gravel.
* Can generate alongside any biome instead of just extreme hills.

'''[[Minecraft:Stronghold]]s'''
* Now try to generate fully encased in [[Minecraft:stone]], or [[Minecraft:deepslate]] at low y-levels.

'''[[Minecraft:Village]]s'''
* Now generate in [[Minecraft:Mountain#Meadows|meadows]].

'''General'''
* The [[Minecraft:overworld]] now uses the multi-noise biome source type.
* [[Minecraft:Terrain]] generation is now independent from [[Minecraft:biome]]s, with biomes adapting to whatever [[Minecraft:terrain]] they happen to generate throughout.<ref>{{YouTube link|6Ffu1gTEsVo|Minecraft 1.18 experimental snapshot|Henrik Kniberg|July 13, 2021|name=}}</ref>
** This allows for natural variation in the terrain of any individual biome, both in terms of shape and elevation.
*** For example, [[Minecraft:forest]]s and [[Minecraft:desert]]s could form up on a hill without needing a special biome just for that purpose.
** This additionally allows for smoother transitions between biomes.
* Terrain is now smoother and more extreme.
* New random number generator is used for overworld generation.

=== Gameplay ===

'''[[Minecraft:Patrol|Patrols]]'''
*[[Minecraft:Vindicator]]s can no longer spawn in patrols.

'''[[Minecraft:Raid]]s'''
*Changed raid boss bar colour from pink to red.
*Raid mobs now despawn after a raid ends if the players move too far away

'''[[Minecraft:Status effects]]'''
*Hero of the Village effect now applies to all players who helped kill a raider once a raid is defeated, and the effect remains on the players, even if they travel outside the village.

=== General ===
'''Android External Storage'''
* Players with external storage will be migrated to the new location at startup, due to storage changes required by Google.
** Players can still play if the migration fails by closing the results window.

'''[[Minecraft:Cloud]]s'''
* Raised cloud level from 128 to 192.

'''[[Minecraft:Altitude|Height limit]]'''
* Has been increased to 384 blocks, expanding 64 blocks up and 64 blocks down, with 319 being the height limit and -64 being the depth limit.

'''[[Minecraft:Title Screen|Menu screen]]'''
* Main menu background is changed to reflect [[Minecraft:Caves & Cliffs|Caves & Cliffs]]: Part II update.

'''[[Minecraft:Create New World|World creation screen]]'''
* Removed the [[Minecraft:Old]] world types.
** Existing world with old world types are still playable, but do not get updated with 1.18 features.
