Where To Find All Different Noise Caves In Minecraft
Unfortunately, there's no specific way to find the different types of Noise Caves in the 1.18 update, as they all generate randomly underground. However, there are various ways to distinguish which type of Noise Cave you're in.
Cheese Cave
This type of Cave is larger than most and have wide-open spaces, making it the largest Cave type in the game. A large number of ores will be exposed inside the Cheese Cave.
Spaghetti / Noodle Cave
As implied by the name, Spaghetti Caves are long and narrow cave types that wind through the underground and often act as a connection system between other larger caves. The Noodle Cave is extremely similar but often a lot thinner in width.
Aquifer
Finally, we have the Aquifer. These are completely water flooded caves that usually create large underground lakes for the player to explore. It is common for the player to find Magma Blocks at the bottom of the Aquifer, as well as Glow Squids and Tropical Fish.
