1.13.1 is a minor update to Java Edition released on August 22, 2018,[1] which adds dead corals, a world list search bar, the /forceload command; makes some changes to fish mobs, coral, squid, and buckets of tropical fish; and fixes many bugs. It is not compatible with 1.13 servers.

Additions[]

Blocks[]

Unstable TNT
  • Re-added punch-to-explode TNT using the unstable state (instead of the explode state before 17w47a).
Dead coral
  • Dead variants of regular corals.
  • Can be placed on top of blocks.

Gameplay[]

Statistics
  • New statistics:[2]
    • Damage Dealt (Absorbed) – damage_dealt_absorbed
    • Damage Dealt (Resisted) – damage_dealt_resisted
    • Damage Blocked By Shield – damage_blocked_by_shield
    • Damage Absorbed – damage_absorbed
    • Damage Resisted – damage_resisted
    • Shulker Box Cleaned – clean_shulker_box

General[]

  • Added Ctrl + F3 + C to force a JVM crash, instead of a regular crash. However, with some keyboards it only triggers with right control.[3]
  • Added a search bar to the world list.
  • Added a concept of force-loaded chunks to the game, and a command (/forceload) to toggle force-loading on and off.
  • Added the block tag minecraft:underwater_bonemeals.
  • The F3 debug screen now displays the dimension the player is in, just above the XYZ coordinates.

Changes[]

Blocks[]

Conduits
  • Are now properly waterlogged.
Coral
  • Can now be placed in air.
    • Unless adjacent to water or waterlogged blocks, they will turn into dead coral after a short amount of time.
Purpur stairs and slabs

Items[]

Bone meal
Bucket of tropical fish
  • Added tooltips.

Mobs[]

Fish
  • Salmon now have a 5% chance of dropping bone meal when killed.
Squid

Command format[]

Scoreboards
  • The scoreboard operator %= was changed from using Java's native % to using Math.floorMod. This causes the operator to use floored modulo instead of truncated modulo, so now -1 % 7 wraps to 6 instead of returning -1.[4]
Functions
  • Line numbers in function parse error logs now start with 1 (was 0).

General[]

Performance
  • Performance has been optimized.
  • Improved the performance of liquids.
  • Improved the performance of flowing liquids.
  • Improved the performance of rendering chunks.
  • Improved the performance of spawning mobs.
