Minecraft:Bedrock Edition Preview 1.18.30.21

Beta 1.18.30.20 (Windows, Android, Xbox) or Preview 1.18.30.21 (Windows, iOS, iPadOS, Xbox) is the sixth beta/Preview version for Minecraft:Bedrock Edition 1.18.30, released on March 3, 2022,<ref>Template:Cite</ref> which makes changes to the sculk shrieker, nerfs Minecraft:armor protection and fixes bugs.

Changes

Items

Minecraft:Armor

• Added armor toughness to minimize the effects of the new armor penetration mechanics.
  • Diamond armor and netherite armor now have a toughness value of 2 and 3 respectively.
  • Netherite armor will now reduce more damage than diamond armor.
• Tweaked armor reduction calculation to account for toughness.
• Armor protects less due to the new penetration system, armor points count for less as the attack strength increases: each Template:Hp done by the attack reduces the effective defense points by Template:Armor, but not below 20% of the armor points. Each armor point now defends 0.8% to 4% instead of always 4%.
• Lowered the amount of knockback resistance granted by netherite armor. Each armor piece gives 10% of knockback reduction instead of 22.5%, so a full set reduces 40% of knockback instead of 90%.

Gameplay

Enchanting

• Protection now reduces damage from negative status effects like Poison or Wither.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>
• Protection enchantments have been nerfed to match Minecraft:Java Edition. A full set of armor with Protection IV is not sufficient for a maximum amount of protection.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>
