    Minecraft Snapshot 21w06a</h1>
    <html><body><p><p><br/> Hello, new snapshot! Hallo new cave generation!<br/></p><br/><p><br/> This snapshot makes a significant change in the way caves are generated in Minecraft. We could say that we're now introducing Caves & Cliffs.<br/></p><br/><p><br/> This is only the initial step in our underground journey, so please note that snapshots depict features in early development and that there are two notable caveats with this snapshot:<br/></p><br/><p><br/> - Old worlds will not be accessible in this snapshot since there is no upgrade path to the new world height. - All caves between y31 and y63 will be inundated.<br/></p><br/><p><br/> 21w06a: New Features<br/></p><br/><p><br/> - Noise caves and aquifers were added<br/></p><br/><p><br/> Aquifers and noise caves<br/></p><br/><p><br/> Noise caves are a novel way to create caves. They offer a more natural variety. Sometimes they can grow to be quite large! Noise caves come in two flavors such as cheese caves. Similar to the holes found in Swiss cheese. These caves can be of different sizes. - Spaghetti caves. Sometimes the tunnels are lengthy and squiggly. Other times, they are more like tagliatelle.<br/></p><br/><p><br/> Changes in 21w06a<br/></p><br/><p><br/>  Overworld build and generation limitations have been widened Mineshafts have been upgraded to accommodate larger caves - You can no longer crouch or jump to prevent a big dripleaf from tilting - A big dripleaf can now tilt rather than break when struck by a projectile A big redstone-powered dripleaf will not tilt (except when hit by a projectile) The textures of hanging roots and small dripleaves have been updated<br/></p><br/><p><br/> The range of generation and build limits have been expanded by 64 blocks up and 64 blocks down, to a total range of 384 blocks.   <a href="https://minecraft-server-list.xyz/">Minecraft-server-list.Xyz</a> Underground features, structures and caves are generated all the way to the level of y -64.<br/></p><br/><p><br/> Mineshaft changes<br/></p><br/><p><br/> - Mineshaft pieces won't generate when they are floating in the air. Mineshaft corridors can be supported by log pillars if necessary. - No floating cobwebs<br/></p><br/><p><br/> Fixed bugs in 21w06a<br/></p><br/><p><br/> MC-214346: The big dripleaf can easily be broken with arrows in the spawn protection MC-213813. Small dripleaf is capable to destroy any block<br/></p></p></body></html>
