Minecraft 118 Launches This Month But Three Big Features Are Still on Hold

The snapshot betas were getting ever-smaller, so we knew it was coming. JERRY'S BLOG But now Mojang has made it official. The Minecraft 1.18 release date that includes all Caves & Cliffs Part 2 features is set to go live at the end November. The update will be available across every platform Minecraft supports and includes numerous new biomes, a revamped worlds generation and much more.

Minecraft 1.18 will be available on November 30. The Java Edition update will be available on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Linux PCs. The Bedrock Edition will launch on (deep breath) - PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X and S.

The update also includes new world generation and upgraded cave systems, along with candles. However, as was previously announced certain features have been pushed back from 1.18 - and they aren't included in 1.19 (also known as The Wild update) either, as the devs have confirmed.

Archaeology, bundles and goat horns "have been put on hold", as the devs explain in the announcement. They aren't removed. We just needed to put them on hold for the moment.
