18w16a[1] is the thirty-second snapshot released for Java Edition 1.13, which added the Buffet world type.

Additions[]

General[]

World types
  • 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[]

Coral fans
Blue ice
  • Is now slightly less slippery.
Coral blocks
  • 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.

Mobs[]

Drowned
  • Can now spawn extra in underwater ruins, besides their regular spawning in the oceans.

Gameplay[]

Water
  • When water spreads and would later turn into a source block, it now immediately just places a source block.[more information needed]
Conduit Power
  • Particles are now blue instead of orange.
Water Breathing

General[]

Optimizations
  • Optimized world spawn position–finding code.
Block and item tags
  • New valid_spawn block tag for blocks that the player can spawn on.
  • New block and item tags for coral.
Ticks
  • There is now a distinction between scheduled "liquid ticks" and "block ticks".
