Minecraft's latest update has arrived today in the form of Caves & Cliffs Part 2, which adds a whole bunch of new features to the game free of charge, following on from the launch of Part 1 back in June of this year.

So, what's included? Here's a rundown of some of the most important new features:

  • Explore New Worlds

Scale bigger mountains, unearth elaborate caves, and mine large ore veins.

  • Celebrate New Skills

Light up your world with candles, then stick one in a cake to celebrate becoming a savvy spelunker and master mountaineer!

  • Dig Deeper, Climb Higher

Discover lush caves and dripstone biomes. Push boundaries with the increased world height and traverse the updated terrain.

  • Climb Carefully

When you reach higher ground, tread carefully because the goats might ram you!

  • Build For The Ages

Want to build a settlement that changes over time? Mine copper and use it to build structures that will age right before your eyes.

  • Take A Closer Look

Have some spare copper? Craft a lightning rod or mine an amethyst geode and make a spyglass!

  • Discover What Lives Below The Surface

Go underwater to team up with the axolotl and bask in the light of the glow squid.

The Caves & Cliffs Part 2 update is available right now for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition (the version on Xbox One, Series X and Series S), and you can also get it for the Java Edition on Windows, macOS and Linux as an optional alternative.
