The sandbox smash-hit Minecraft has once again had a big update. This new update, called Minecraft Caves and Cliffs Part 1, has added new mobs, new blocks, and more. One of the many new things included in the first part of this update are lush caves.

Lush caves are caves filled with underground growth. These beautiful caves are currently only part of experimental mode, and they can't be found in normal seeds in Minecraft just yet. These jungle-like caves can to be generated in the update 1.17 in the Java Edition and in some editions of Bedrock. This temperate underground biome can generate with tall grass, cave vines, azalea trees, blossom spores, and lichen.

Players will have to create a new single-player world in order to get a Minecraft seed with lush caves.

• In the Create New World menu, players need to select "More World Options."
• Select World Type.
• Change from "Default" to "Single Biome."
• The list of Minecraft biomes is in alphabetical order, so scroll down to the "L's."
• Select Lush Caves.
• Click "Done."
• Click "Create New World."

Once players have created a whole new seed that is filled with these verdant caves, they will be able to spelunk into the wild green depths of them to their heart's content.

In the Overworld on the surface, Lush Caves biomes look exactly like Minecraft's plains biomes do. The area will be filled with trees, their roots hanging down into the caves below. Inside the caves themselves, moss grows along the ground of these caves, and vines hang from the ceilings. Players can also find lily-pad-like patches of moss growth in the water, clay pools, and large pink sport blossom flowers blooming around the area. There will also be big and small dripleaf plants as well as glow berries that will keep the area lit up. Players can feed bone meal to small dripleaf plants to make them grow into large dripleaf plants if their lush caves are just not quite lush enough.

Lush caves should be available as a regular biome in normal Minecraft seeds in the 1.18 update, which will be Caves and Cliffs Part 2. This update is not expected until Q4 of 2021. Until then, players will have to create new seeds with single biomes in order to experience everything that Lush Caves have to offer.

Minecraft is available for all major platforms.
