18w15a is the thirty-first snapshot for Java Edition 1.13, released on April 11, 2018[1], which adds most of the features from Bedrock Edition beta 1.2.14.2: dolphins, blue ice, conduits, and icebergs.
Additions
Blocks
- Generates in icebergs.
- More slippery than ice or packed ice.
- Crafted using 9 packed ice.
- Crafted using 1 heart of the sea and 8 nautilus shells.
- Can be activated by placing prismarine, prismarine bricks and/or sea lanterns in 5×5 open squares around it.
- A complete structure fully powers the conduit.
- When active, affects nearby players in water or rain with the Conduit Power status effect.
- When active at full power, the range increases and hostile mobs within 8 blocks take damage.
- When active, affects nearby players in water or rain with the Conduit Power status effect.
- Emits a strong glow, at light level 15.
Items
- Used to craft conduits.
- Not available currently in Survival.
Mobs
- Spawn in all oceans except frozen.
- Are neutral. Like wolves and zombie pigmen, dolphins attack in groups if one is angered.
- Can be fed using raw cod, but they do not breed.

- Play with nearby items by picking them up and dropping them after a short moment.
- Occasionally jump out of water.

General
- Added "Biome Blend" distance video option.
Changes
Fluids
- Has a new texture.
- Now only blocks 1 light per block, instead of 3.
- This only affects newly placed water.
- Underwater vision from previous snapshots is gone; water is darker at lower depths.
- Ocean variants have their own water colors, and the swamp water color has been changed.
- In newly generated chunks, it is less likely to find frozen oceans next to warm oceans, etc. It is, however still possible to find warm oceans next to snowy tundra, etc.
Mobs
Spawning
- Mobs can now spawn on top of ice.
Gameplay
- It is now possible to swim through one block holes again.
- The transition between swimming and normal state is now smoother.
- Sprinting at the surface of water no longer makes the player swim; instead they stay at the same altitude constantly.
General
Optimizations
- Optimized fog rendering.
- Added "Thanks for the fish!".
