Could you pass me a candle before you leave? It really is dark down here. While I try to get out of this dripstone cave, I hope you enjoy all of the new features that 1.18 brings. Where am I? It’s dark down here! It’s almost as if I fell a greater distance than I would have before today. Let’s take a moment and just take in that view. What better way to celebrate than by climbing to the top of a higher than ever mountain. The Caves & Cliffs Update: Part II is out today, completing the much anticipated cave update. It’s been quite the trek, but we’re here.
