18w16a is the thirty-second snapshot for Java Edition 1.13, released on April 19, 2018[1], which added the Buffet world type.
Additions
General
- Buffet
- Creates single-biome worlds.
- Allows choosing between Overworld and End terrain generation.
- Another way to generate chunks (checkerboard) is available by using an NBT Editor to open a Buffet world's level.dat, and using the following code for
"generatorOptions":{"biome_source":{"type":"minecraft:checkerboard","biomes":[]},"chunk_generator":{"type":""}}.
Changes
Blocks
- Now generate in coral reefs, on the sides of coral blocks.
- Is now slightly less slippery.
- Now require Silk Touch to drop as items when mined, otherwise they drop dead coral blocks.
- No longer instantly turn into dead coral when on land.
- Particles are now blue instead of orange.
Mobs
- Can now spawn extra in underwater ruins, besides their regular spawning in the oceans.
Gameplay
- When water spreads and would later turn into a source block, it now immediately just places a source block instead of flowing into the block first.
- This means that water can now also spread into waterloggable blocks.
- When given from turtle shells, it no longer shows particles.
General
Optimizations
- Optimized world spawn position–finding code.
Block and item tags
- New
valid_spawnblock tag for blocks that the player can spawn on. - New block and item tags for coral.
- There is now a distinction between scheduled "liquid ticks" and "block ticks".
- Changed how the temperature of ocean biomes is calculated; should result in nicer transitions between oceans.
- Biome names are now translatable.
- Updated some biome names:
