With the Minecraft 1.18 Caves & Cliffs Update Part 2, Mountains got a considerable overhaul, adding biomes, changing the way Emeralds spawn in them, and a bunch of other tweaks and changes. With that in mind, it’s the best time to dive into a Mountain-based seed and explore the heights of these natural wonders.
