Dripstone Caves are one of the new Underground Biomes introduced in Minecraft 1.18: Caves & Cliffs Part 2. Characterized by large Dripstone clusters, and with Pointed Dripstone hanging as stalactites and rising as stalagmites, Dripstone Caves have spiced up the underground by adding a lot more variety.

Dripstone is a valuable commodity. It’s essential in creating things like Lava farms, and is generally just a very cool looking block for all your building aspirations. Pointed Dripstone Stalactites will grow in size if a source block of Water is one block above them. The water will be visible dripping from the Pointed Dripstone, and a Dripstone Stalagmite will grow underneath if the space is unobstructed.
You can also tell if there’s Lava above Pointed Dripstone Stalactites, as Lava will slowly drip from them as well. Additionally, Copper generally spawns in larger blobs and clusters in these Dripstone biomes.
Dripstone Caves are also the home biome of the Glow Squid, which spawns in groups of 4-6 in the area. This means if you’re trying to farm Glow Ink Sacs, a Dripstone Cave is the best location to start. So keep your eyes peeled for Dripstone Caves!
