From the Caves and Cliffs Part 2 Update
Caves and Cliffs Part 2 brings some exciting features and changes to worlds, here are the highlights!
Increased the world height and depth, adding 50% more vertical space to build and explore
New cave generation with new biomes like Lush Caves and Amethyst Geodes
Taller mountains with new biomes like Jagged Peaks and Groves
Drastically updated and improved biome, cave, and ore generation
Increased World Height and Depth
Overworld height and depth for new and existing worlds has been extended to add 50% more vertical space, opening up more space to explore and build in
Old vertical height range: y0 to y256
New vertical height range: y-64 to y320
World Blending
Players can now update existing worlds to include the new overworld height dimensions and world generation features.
This Bedrock Edition article has some great information about upgrading your worlds. Please note that not all the information is relevant to Minecraft: Education Edition though.
Existing chunks at y0 bedrock layer and below will be replaced with Deepslate and feature new cave generation underneath
Biomes and terrain generating across new and existing chunk borders will blend seamlessly, creating natural-looking environmental transitions
New Terrain and Mountain Generation
Terrain shape and elevation is no longer always determined by biome, resulting in new biome placements such as deserts on top of hills
Mountains are taller than ever and can now generate up to a maximum height of 256 blocks
New Biomes, 3D Biome Generation, and Biome Distribution
Added 3D biomes - cave biomes can now generate directly below surface biomes
New cave and mountain biomes added, including Jagged Peaks, Meadows, Lush Caves and Dripstone Caves
New Cave Generation
Added more uniquely shaped caves - the three primary types of noise caves are large, open Cheese Caves, wide, tunneling Spaghetti Caves and the narrow, winding Noodle Caves
Added aquifers - these create local level bodies of water such as flooded caves or underground lakes
Ore Distribution and Large Ore Veins
Added large ore veins - these long formations stretch through cave systems and contain larger deposits of ore than the clusters usually found underground
Ore distribution has been adjusted to compensate for the new world height
Mob Spawning
Monsters will now only spawn in complete darkness. Players can spawn-proof dark areas such as caves using light sources
New Music
Added new music
