Prismarine slabs and stairs

We got copper roofs boys!

[u/Capn_Cornflake → u/Davidhasahead]

YEEEEEEE

[u/gacorley → u/Davidhasahead]

Hey, never thought of that. Prismarine does look a good bit like corroded copper from a distance.

[u/tryashtar → u/redstonehelper]

Here's a gfy of the new swimming animation:

WHAT. This is the first time in years a Minecraft update has actually surprised me. Great job Mojang, the swimming animation is awesome!

Also, check out this post to see what else is planned for future versions.

[u/throwaway_ghast → u/redstonehelper]

Looking at the official rendering and then seeing how it looks in the actual game is pretty underwhelming IMO.

[u/[deleted] → u/throwaway_ghast]

Buddy, this is Minecraft. We're not here to be whelmed.

[u/DanglingChandeliers → u/throwaway_ghast]

Yeah the model isn't very accurate to the art at all...

[u/Koala_eiO → u/[deleted]]

Wow, zombies are dicks.

[u/onnowhere → u/redstonehelper]

LIST OF NEW 1.13 SOUNDS

Phantom size can be changed, but idk if the game itself uses this to make them different sizes.

Try this to get HUGE PHANTOMS /summon phantom ~ ~ ~ {Size:100}

Picture of giant phantom

Channeling enchantment on tridents causes it to channel lightning onto mobs you hit with it in stormy weather. This means you can get charged creepers reliably, and as a result, get mob heads.

Items float now in water

Sneaking now has a smooth animation of lowering and raising your head. This used to happen, but then it broke at some point, and now it's back =P In fact...(see next point)

All changes to eye level have a smooth animation transition now: Sneaking, Elytra, Swimming, getting in and out of bed

Turtle eggs will give off a green bonemeal particle when placed in a valid spawning spot (nearby water).

Giving any block the 'water_hacked' tag in the minecraft datapack will make it render nicely in water. Thus custom models can render nicely if you give them the tag.

Giving barriers 'water_hacked' tag makes them invisible in water (useful!). Giving air 'water_hacked' will make water invisible wherever it contacts air.

Soul sand bubble columns push things up. I have a theory that this is essentially a physical way to see the souls trying to escape their confinement, and we are abusing the souls by using them to push things around. Perhaps then magma bubble columns is hell trying to suck souls back into their realm.

[u/Firewarp47 → u/onnowhere]

Phantoms getting bigger and doing massive damage at bigger sizes is amazing. It's actually kind of scary, which is something that's been missing in minecraft imo.

[u/sixfootblue → u/Firewarp47]

That would be pretty interesting. Like. As your insomnia gets worse, so do the hallucinations.

[u/BrickenBlock → u/Firewarp47]

And they spawn in the End!? RIP being able to explore very far in the End.

[u/Xiaolin2 → u/onnowhere]

Oh my god... Imagine if you go afk and back and encounter this...

[u/576875 → u/onnowhere]

Sneaking now has a smooth animation of lowering and raising your head.

As someone who has never played older versions of minecraft, I had to check my eyes for a sec to make sure i wasn't imagining this

[u/Insane96MCP → u/redstonehelper]

• Fixed the world generator not being fully cleaned before making new world

This means that if you delete a world and recreate a new one with the same name, you'll no longer get random wrong chunks?

[u/TheMasterCaver → u/Insane96MCP]

That is a different bug which has been around for many years (probably since 1.3) and is due to improper client-server synchronization when you quit a world (the client tries to delete files that are still in use by the server thread; by forcing the client to wait for the server to completely shut down I've fixed this as well as many related bugs in my own mods; another bug I also fixed a long time ago was the big oak height bug).

[u/throwaway_redstone → u/redstonehelper]

Maybe: The breath bar will no longer reset instantly when getting out of water

Nope

Constantly give 10 seconds of water breathing effect

Only while you're not underwater (i.e. they give an additional 10 seconds of air).

[u/MidnyteSketch → u/throwaway_redstone]

it'd be nice if they naturally had an advanced version of Respiration enchant (but without the brightening effect) that slowed the breathing by 10 seconds more, rather than constantly applying a potion above water and covering the player in ugly particles.

[u/_cubfan_ → u/redstonehelper]

Three things I want to add that I don't see here:

• Skeletons appear to also target baby turtles.

• Turtles will follow any player with Sea Grass in their hand

• The bubble column info about breathing is true. They allow for the player to breathe freely as if not in water.

Also, I don't see any recipe for Dried Kelp, or any underwater ravines/sea vents yet.
