You\u2019ll see new mobs and ores, while there are a few tweaks to the character creation and dressing room features. Of course, all of the excitement takes place with the cave revamp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/Minecraft-Beta-Opens-For-Caves-and-Cliffs-Update-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Minecraft Beta Opens For Caves and Cliffs Update\" class=\"wp-image-168524\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/Minecraft-Beta-Opens-For-Caves-and-Cliffs-Update-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/Minecraft-Beta-Opens-For-Caves-and-Cliffs-Update-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/Minecraft-Beta-Opens-For-Caves-and-Cliffs-Update-1-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/Minecraft-Beta-Opens-For-Caves-and-Cliffs-Update-1-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/Minecraft-Beta-Opens-For-Caves-and-Cliffs-Update-1-664x374.jpg 664w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/Minecraft-Beta-Opens-For-Caves-and-Cliffs-Update-1-238x134.jpg 238w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/Minecraft-Beta-Opens-For-Caves-and-Cliffs-Update-1-436x246.jpg 436w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/Minecraft-Beta-Opens-For-Caves-and-Cliffs-Update-1-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/Minecraft-Beta-Opens-For-Caves-and-Cliffs-Update-1-304x170.jpg 304w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/Minecraft-Beta-Opens-For-Caves-and-Cliffs-Update-1-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/Minecraft-Beta-Opens-For-Caves-and-Cliffs-Update-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, there are some warnings you should be aware of. Your official version of Minecraft will vanish, and you\u2019ll receive the Beta version instead. That means you won\u2019t have access to your save worlds while you do the testing. You also won\u2019t be able to join online servers or play with your friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sadly, PlayStation and iOS gamers will miss out on the Minecraft Beta testing until further notice. It\u2019s only available for Windows, Android, and Xbox One, which does put a damper on things for some of us.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, we\u2019re looking forward to the promised 91 new blocks in the first Caves and Cliffs release. The second part that focuses on world generation will appear later in the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minecraft\u2019s Massive Caves and Cliffs Update Is Almost Here!
