UPDATE: Thanks for all the feedback we've received! It's nice to hear that most people like the new terrain generation, and we really appreciate the concrete suggestions about things to improve! We did a bunch of tweaks and improvements during the week, and have updated this post with experimental snapshot #2. We probably won't release a new snapshot for a few weeks now (unless we messed something up badly), since most of the team is on vacation.
情況更新：感謝各位的反饋！很高興大家能夠喜歡新的地形生成，我們也非常感謝你們的堅實反饋！我們在這一周時間內做了很多微調和改進，並上傳了第二個實驗性快照。由於大多數團隊成員都在休假，接下來的幾周內我們應該不會再發快照了（除非我們玩脫了）。
NEW: Changes compared to experimental snapshot 1
全新：相比第一個實驗性快照做出的改動
Biome placement is a bit smoother and less noisy. Fewer microbiomes dotting the terrain. Biomes tend to be a bit larger and less fragmented.
群系分布現在更加絲滑了。微群系（microbiome）應該在地形中出現得更少了。群系一般會更大一點，不那麼支離破碎。
Raised cloud level from 128 to 192
雲層高度從 128 提升到了 192。
Renamed mountains (= old mountains biome) to extreme hills, and gravelly mountains to gravelly hills, to reduce risk of people getting confused when they use /locatebiome to find the new mountains and end up in the old mountains...
把山地（mountains，舊的山地群系）改名為了峭壁（extreme hills），把沙礫山地（gravelly mountains）改名為了沙礫峭壁（gravelly hills），以便讓大家用 /locatebiome 的時候分清新舊山地。
Beachier beaches! Beaches are generally wider. But also in some places there are no beaches at all, to provide some variation.
沙灘比沙灘還要沙灘了！沙灘現在寬了很多。不過有些地方乾脆就沒有沙灘了，以增加一些多樣性。
Sheep spawn in meadows. Also more rabbits and less donkeys
羊現在會在繁花山地（mountain meadows）中生成了，以及多了點兔子少了點驢。
Blue orchid no longer spawns in meadows. The swamps were sad because this was their unique thing.
繁花山地裡沒有蘭花了。沼澤表示嚶嚶嚶，因為明明這是他們的專屬花花的。
Swamps now generate properly. They generated in weird places before and were sad about that. Swamps are happier now.
沼澤現在生成的正常些了。之前他們都在犄角旮旯裡，因此表示嚶嚶嚶。現在他們很滿意。
Added missing biomes: Ice Spikes and Eroded Badlands
把消失的群系加回去了：冰刺平原和被風蝕的惡地。
Underground biomes interfere less with surface biomes. They can still leak out of cave entrances sometimes though (because it looks kinda cool!)
地下群系和地表群系現在不那麼擠來擠去了。他們仍然可以在地表暴露出入口（因為看起來太酷了！）。
Increased the height of some of the peaks. Now they can reach up to 220-260 or so, but rarely.
把山峰的高度調高了些，他們現在可以冒到 220-260 了，不過這樣的山峰很少。
Slightly increased the chance of finding large areas with flat terrain
稍微調高了找到大片平地的機率。
Meadows sometimes spawn a lone tree, often with a bee nest
繁花山地現在會稀疏地生成單棵的樹，通常有蜂巢。
Monsters spawn in the new mountain biomes
怪物現在會在新的山地群系生成了。
Emeralds and infested stone generate in the new mountain biomes
綠寶石和被蟲蝕的石頭現在會在新的山地群系生成了。
Made ore veins slightly larger and more frequent, since very few people seemed to actually find them in survival.
礦脈現在稍微大了一些而且更加繁密了，因為貌似大家在生存裡都找不到。
Structures now show up in the right biomes (mostly). Found the right amount of duct tape to put in the right place in the code.
結構現在（絕大多數）會在正確的群系裡出現了。我們已經找到足夠多的膠布糊在代碼裡了。
Toned down the megacave entrances a little bit, and made them less likely to go all the way down to deepslate level. Getting to diamond zone was just a bit too easy.
減少了大型洞穴入口的數量，並且讓他們不太可能飛流直下到深板巖。到達鑽石層有點太簡單了。
Made cheese caves a little bit smaller on average (they can still be huge though!), and a bit less likely to intersect the surface
讓奶酪洞穴的平均尺寸更小了（不過他們還是可以變得很大！），並不太可能接觸地表。
Reduced the chance of sand and gravel being placed in such a way that they immediately fall down on generation. Replaced with sandstone or stone in those cases. The falling blocks were messing up the terrain as well as performance. Still happens but not as often.
減少了沙子和沙礫在生成的時候直接掉落下去的機率。在這些情況下，他們下面會墊上砂巖或石頭。下落中的方塊真的很影響地形以及性能。這種情況還是有的，不過少了些。
Zombie, Skeleton, Spider, and Cave-Spider spawners now spawn mobs up to block-light level 11. Although the mobs spawning in complete darkness did not affect the difficulty of vanilla spawners, we recognized that these spawners haven't been a real challenge for a while now. We hope this change will make conquering a spawner a more exciting challenge!
殭屍、骷髏、蜘蛛和洞穴蜘蛛的刷怪籠現在在方塊亮度11級以下都會刷怪了。雖然之前的只有在完全黑暗的環境下才會刷怪的機制沒有影響刷怪籠，但是我們意識到這些刷怪籠已經不是一種威脅了。我們希望這個改動會讓攻佔刷怪籠更有挑戰性！
Spawners have a new "CustomSpawnRules" tag, which lets you override the spawn rules of the spawned mob. In the tag you can specify "BlockLightLimit" which indicates the highest block-light the spawners will spawn mobs at. This change is to enable map-makers to use spawners in a more customizable manner to spawn mobs in any light levels they choose!
刷怪籠現在有一個 CustomSpawnRules 的標籤，以便讓你覆寫刷怪規則。在標籤中，你可以指定 BlockLightLimit 來改變刷怪籠刷怪的最高方塊亮度。這個改動可以讓地圖製作者們更加機動靈活地使用刷怪籠，在任意亮度下刷怪！
NOTE: These snapshots are experimental!Some features may be significantly changed oreven removed if needed to improve performance.
注意：這是個試驗性快照，其中的一切都可能發生變化。如果有提高性能的需要，其中的某些功能可能會被更改甚至刪除。
Known issues
已知問題
Opening a world from experimental snapshot #1 causes an error. So you need to create a new world for this snapshot.
打開第一個實驗性快照的世界會報錯，因此你要為這個快照再新創一個存檔。
Low performance (we are working on performance optimization for the normal snapshots coming later)
性能低下（性能優化會在接下來的正常快照中進行）。
Nether terrain is messed up
下界地形炸開了。
End pillars don't generate (however they do generate when you respawn the dragon...)
末地柱（譯者註：黑曜石柱子）不生成了（但是他們還是會在重生末影龍的時候重新生成）。
Red sand is hard to obtain because badlands mostly generate on plateaus
紅沙很難獲得，因為惡地一般都在高原上生成。
Aquifers sometimes break coastlines in an ugly way
含水層會讓海岸線變很醜。

What about the previous Caves & Cliffs preview datapack?
之前的洞穴與山崖預覽數據包怎麼樣了?
These changes are too big for a datapack, that's why we're doing it in a separate experimental snapshot. So for now, the experimental snapshot serves the same purpose as the datapack did before.
這次的更新對於一個數據包來說太大了，這就是為什麼我們要把它放進一個單獨的實驗快照裡。現在，實驗性快照和以前的數據包功能一樣。
Can I open old worlds in this experimental snapshot?
我可以在這個快照中打開舊存檔嗎?
No, experimental snapshots can only open worlds that were created in the same version. Later on in the actual 1.18 release you will be able to open 1.17 worlds.
不行，實驗性快照只能打開在這個快照中創建的世界。在之後的 1.18 版本中您將能夠加載 1.17 的世界。
What about Bedrock?
基巖版呢?
An earlier version of experimental Caves & Cliffs world generation is available on Minecraft Bedrock. You can read about it here. We are working hard to get this new version of world generation to Bedrock betas soon.
Minecraft 基巖版上提供了早期版本的實驗性洞穴和懸崖世界生成選項。你可以在這裡查閱相關信息。我們正在努力讓這個新版本的世界生成器儘快加入基巖版測試版。
How do I give feedback?
我該如何反饋?
Use the feedback site or this Reddit post .
使用反饋網站或者這個Reddit 帖子 .
We are mostly interested in feedback about the new world generation overall, and what it is like to play in it. We are also looking for feedback on the updated mob spawning. We changed so that mobs only spawn in complete darkness in order to make it easier to spawn-proof the new larger caves.
我們最感興趣的是關於新世界生成器的整體反響，以及遊玩感受??。我們也在收集關於更新後的怪物生成機制相關的反饋。我們設定怪物只在完全黑暗的情況下生成，以便防止新的更大的洞穴過量刷怪。
New feature requests are not so useful at this point, since the scope of the Caves & Cliffs update is already large enough and we want to focus on finishing the features that we've already announced.
新功能請求現在將不會受理，因為洞穴與山崖更新的範圍已經足夠大，我們希望專注於完善我們已經發布的功能。
Note that we don’t use the bug tracker for experimental snapshots.
請注意，我們不將漏洞跟蹤器用於實驗性快照。
When will these features show up in the normal snapshots?
這些功能什麼時候會出現在普通快照中？
1.18 snapshots will probably start sometime around September.
1.18 的快照可能會在 9 月份左右的某個時間點開始推出。
