A new exciting update has made its way into our Bedrock Beta! This week, we have some exciting new Caves and Cliffs features that bring much-needed greenery to the scenery.
These features are all accessible by enabling the "Experimental Features" toggle on your worlds! (You can find out more about using the toggles at aka.ms/MCExperimentalToggle.)
You can leave us your feedback for these features in the threads at aka.ms/CavesCliffsFeedback, and search and reports any new bugs you may encounter at bugs.mojang.com.
