Description
a cluster of speleothem.
On the surface, this biome is indistinguishable from a lowland biome. [Bedrock Edition only]
Underground, karst caves spawn like a cave biome, but with blocks of speleothem and pointed speleothem that hang like stalactites and grow from the ground like stalagmites. They mostly appear as regular caves, except with speleothem block patches and pointed speleothem. Occasionally large speleothem cluster structures are generated within ravines.
In Java Edition 1.18 Experimental Snapshot 1, Karst Caves spawns naturally underground. In Bedrock Edition, it is randomly spawned underground in caves if the experimental play feature is enabled.
