![]() ![]() ![]() It may also have no main room, only one trunk and zero or two branches on it, that is, an I-shaped or T-shaped cave. circular void) connecting 1 to 4 trunks, each trunk with zero or two branches. For carver canyons, see Canyon.Ī cave may have a main room (aka. Because of low light levels, hostile mobs and certain animals like bats and glow squids (only in water) often spawn in caves.Ĭaves come in two types: carver caves and noise caves. ![]() They frequently intersect natural structures such as other caves, monster rooms, ravines, and mineshafts. Ĭaves generate at any altitude up to Y-level 256, and may span from the surface all the way to Y-level -59. Caves cannot cut through red sand nor snow blocks, despite these generating as a surface block in several biomes. Sand often falls into caves generated near the surface of a desert or beach craters in the sand can alert the player to caves below the surface. In jungle biomes, vines generate in caves near the surface. Their structure typically consists of a series of irregular tunnels branching off and winding in other directions, which may connect to the surface, creating natural entrances to the cave. But the real hidden half to the update is in how they will use all these new pieces and old ones and mesh them together into a world that lives up to it’s namesake.Caves are underground structures consisting of randomly generated cavities of air, water or lava, hollowing out an area and exposing other blocks generated with the terrain (such as stones and ore features) in the interior. It’s in how they are going to shift the gameplay environment and experience overall to make us ask ourselves questions about what we as players want out of the world, and in the manner in which we choose to experience it. If all the new shiny things are “answers” to players demands, what the caves and cliffs update will really do, and where it will really shine, is not in the shiny things themselves. That in itself is more interesting and compelling than just adding in a new ore you can make lightning rods and spyglasses with. redistributing the ores to be concentrated to different depth levels with smaller areas of overlap is inherently creating an experience where our interaction with the game world has more depth and strategy. the abstract level of depth the game provides. the real update is to the entire experience. A false idol in a way - It has little uses currently, it’s just a set piece. Because updating the existing ores and how we approach the game is itself potentially more interesting than adding a new ore. ![]() They could add a ton of new ores, but they don’t need to. I think the coolest thing about the upcoming update to minecraft is not the number of new cool shiny rocks, plants, ore, etc it adds, but rather what it does with them. Really high-concept minecraft caves n’ cliffs update philosophical post inbound. then there is sort of like a focus around emphasizing blockyness itself to be a style, its similar to modernist building but not quite, because instead of focusing on pure untextured colored forms it leans into its limitations and the cubic “grain” of the world rather than trying too hard to hide it. for Minecraft specifically it’s sort of like… bonsai in a way, there’s certain builds that emphasize being smaller but having structural supports as sort of a decorative motif, something that looks similar to something that in real life would be massive but in terms of Minecraft it’s actually miniature, having much thicker walls compared to building things in real life is part of it too. and then in Rust you get these really amazing buildings that use a ton of complex geometry and honeycombing to make easy-to-defend towers but on like a much more geometrically complex level than even most actual fortress towers do. like in Subnautica mostly everything is built underwater and has like smooth corners and tunnels and stuff and as far as I know there’s nothing like that actually on earth to the same degree as in Subnautica. Is it weird that I think that certain Minecraft builds have a particular architectural style/design that is wholly unique to Minecraft? like it makes me think a lot about like other games that have their own signature architecture styles. ![]()
