Talk:Bedrock Edition 1.18.0

Sculk Block Names
Somebody changed the names of some blocks on this page, so I reverted it back. From where did you get the name "Sculk Jaw"? I know that it has been theorized, but Wiki editors agreed on calling it the Sculk Trap. Also, it doesn't make sense to call the Sculk Block "Block of Sculk", as Sculk is not a mineral or something you collect and craft into a block. It is a natural creature that comes as a block. Take coral as an example.--Ziad El-Moursy (talk) 23:42, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

1.18.0 Release Date
I recently went to another wiki, and may have found that the release date is December 31, 2021. I don't know if this is true or not, but if Mojang comfirmed this, please add it, ASAP.--Noah0327 (talk) 16:12, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
 * No it's not confirmed anywhere. They never decide the exact dates before hand anyway, and updates almost always release on Tuesdays. The editors from the other Minecraft wiki just like to make completely baseless inferences. Zegatrox (talk) 23:42, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

Any seed picker information
Just as when Bedrock 1.11 broke many of the seeds in the seed picker, I expect 1.18 will do so as well. Or if not, it would cause some new seeds to be introduced.

Even 1.17, while it didn't change terrain, changed the location distribution of various structures (for example, two dungeons near the spawn point in "Ocean Monument Ahead" no longer generate in 1.17).

I'm not in the right circles to glean what's upcoming. Does anyone know of any changes to the seed picker in 1.18? Amatulic (talk) 12:58, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

Hmm, unfortunately I have no access to betas as I play on PS4. But I can very confidently expect that all of the seeds from the seed picker will be almost completely worthless, as most of them rely on biomes to function as they are described and biome distribution will completely changed. My long-term survival seed is Stronghold below, and I'm really interested in seeing how the seed itself will change after 1.18. If anyone can access the latest beta please inform us. It has the changes from experimental snapshot 1 according to Henrik Kniberg (still an early version with a lot of changes to be made), so maybe we shouldn't document anything just yet.

1.18 and pre-1.18 worlds
Will 1.18 break all/most pre-1.18 worlds? DaWaeToUganda69 (talk) 00:27, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
 * No. Apparently, the current plan is to have existing old worlds stay frozen at 1.17.40, while other worlds will update normally with the new caves beneath where bedrock was in the old terrain. The plan seems to be to have all of them as playable, just like with other updates.PegasusDust (talk) 00:45, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
 * That isn't how updates have worked in the past. Existing chunks remained unchanged, but any newly created chunks would be subject to the update. Why would this update be any different? Amatulic (talk) 01:24, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
