18w31a[1] is the third snapshot released for Java Edition 1.13.1, which adds some new features, changes some existing features, optimizes performance, and fixes many bugs.

Additions[]

General[]

Chunks
  • Added a concept of force-loaded chunks to the game, and a command (/chunk) to toggle force-loading on and off.
Block tags
  • Added the block tag minecraft:underwater_bonemeals.

Changes[]

Blocks[]

Conduits
  • Are now properly waterlogged.

Mobs[]

Fish
  • Now have a 5% chance of dropping bone meal when killed.
Squid
  • Now spawn only in rivers, oceans, or beaches.

Items[]

Bone meal
  • When used in water of warm ocean biomes, it now has a chance to grow coral.

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.[2]
Functions
  • Line numbers in function parse error logs now start with 1 (was 0).

General[]

  • Performance has been optimized.
