These additions and changes are accessible by enabling the "Caves & Cliffs" and "Enable GameTest Framework" experimental toggle.
=== General ===
* Added the Caves & Cliffs experimental toggle for non-beta users.
=== Blocks ===
; Sculk Sensor
* A redstone component that detects vibrations.
* Currently, it does not generate naturally, but natural generation is planned for future versions.
* Senses vibrations such as block placement, footsteps, and projectiles, and emits a redstone signal.
* Emits particles when it senses a vibration nearby.
* A comparator connected to it emits different signal strengths based on what caused the signal.
* Does not detect ambient weather such as rain.
=== Items ===
; Goat Horn
* Dropped by a goat if it rams into a block.
* When used for a short period of time, it makes a sound identical to the horn heard during raids.
=== World generation ===
; Caves
* Completely overhauled.
* Now stretch down to Y=-62.
* Biomes inside of caves introduced such as dripstone caves and lush caves.
* Contain aquifers, bodies of water with different heights, independent of sea level (Y=63).
** Aquifers below Y=0 sometimes generate with lava instead of water.
* Improved old caves to blend in with the new generations of caves better.
* New noise caves, coming in 2 forms, cheese, and spaghetti.
** The original caves still exist with their generation slightly tweaked to better blend in with noise caves.
** Cheese caves have large stone towers stretching from the bottom of the cave to the top.
*** Very large, often large enough to fly with an elytra.
*** Abundant with aquifers and ores.
** Spaghetti caves are long, thin caves that have small aquifers and are more similar to original caves.
; Mineshafts
* Mineshaft pieces no longer generate if they were fully floating in the air.
* Corridors now generate with wooden logs as pillars for support, or chains and oak fences as hanging support if needed.

* Iron ore, emerald ore and coal ore are found in abundance.
** Emerald ore no longer generates in blobs of only one.
* Can generate up to Y=256.
* Generates with new sub biomes.
; Ore distribution
* Changed ore generation of all ores making them have a spread value like lapis lazuli ore. Some still retain a linear generation alongside a spread generation.
* Coal ore, emerald ore, and copper ore no longer generate below Y=0.
** Copper ore generates between the Y=0 and Y=96 and like all other ores, uses spread. It peaks at Y=48.
** Emerald ore generates above Y=32 as a spread, peaking at Y=256 and decreasing in quantity as the altitude decreases.
** Coal ore attempts to generate twice: once, evenly between an altitude of Y=136 and Y=256; and as a spread, peaking at an altitude of Y=96 and generating between an altitude of Y=0 and Y=192.
* Other ores also generate differently.
** Iron ore attempts to generate three times: once as a spread peaking at an altitude of Y=256, generating above Y=128; another as a spread peaking at Y=16 and generating with a minimum height of Y=-24 and a maximum height of Y=57, and a smaller one spreading evenly between the altitudes of Y=-64 and Y=-32.
** Gold ore generates between the altitudes of Y=-64 and Y=32, peaking at Y=-16. The extra gold that generates in the badlands biome was left untouched.
** Lapis lazuli ore attempts to generate twice: once, as a spread between the altitudes of Y=32 and Y=-32, peaking at an altitude of 0; and evenly between the altitudes of Y=64 and Y=-64, generating buried like ancient debris.
** Redstone ore attempts to generate twice: once, evenly between an altitude of Y=15 and Y=-64; and as a spread, peaking at an altitude of -64 and generating below an altitude of Y=-32.
** Diamond ore now generate as a spread, generating below Y=16 and peaking at altitudes near y=-64.
* Tweaked size and positioning of diorite, andesite & granite generation.
** Pockets of diorite, granite, and andesite are now larger and more spherical but less common.
