Additions

Added the Template:Cmd command with spawn loot overload.

Changes

Blocks

Copper ore

Now drops 2–5 units of raw copper when mining instead of 2–3.

Minecraft:Stonecutter

Blocks of copper can be converted to 4 cut copper using a stonecutter.

Mobs

Axolotls

Now only spawn in water above clay blocks in lush caves.

Cod, salmon, pufferfish, tropical fish, squid, and dolphins

Now only spawn in water from Y=50 to Y=64.
Additionally, tropical fishes now also spawn in lush caves at any height.

Glow squid

Now only spawn in water blocks under Y=30.

Goats

No longer spawn in stony peaks.

World generation

Amethyst geodes

Now only generate up to Y=30.
Rarity has been increased to match 1.17 levels.

Minecraft:Biomes

Non-cave biomes (e.g. savannas) no longer change with height.
Tweaked the relative size of some biomes, to match 1.17 a bit closer.
Increased the average size of most biomes.
Tweaked the blending of frozen biomes.

Canyons

Canyons are now placed on the same height as on pre-1.18 world generation.

Dungeons

Increased the amount of dungeons, especially below Y=0.

Minecraft:Gravel

Ore distribution changes.

Minecraft:Ore distribution

Copper ore now generates between Y=-16 and Y=112, generating the most at Y=48, and the number of ore blobs has been increased.
Added more unexposed Minecraft:diamonds.
Extra gold generates below Y=-48.
Decreased minimum generation height of the upper range of iron ore from Y=112 to Y=80, and increased the number of ore blobs.

Villages

Now slightly more spread out.

General

Title screen

Main menu background is changed to reflect Caves & Cliffs: Part II.
- The new background, however, is not visible due to the beta resource packs being applied in all beta versions.

Experimental

These additions and changes are accessible by enabling the "Enable GameTest Framework" experimental toggle.

Technical

GameTest framework

deltaTime
- Added deltaTime read-only property to TickEvent which represents the time between the last Level tick in seconds.

Fixes

Caves & Cliffs

Fixed shifted sub-chunks on Caves & Cliffs flat worlds (Template:Bug).
Hoodoos now generate in eroded badlands again (Template:Bug).
Strange pillars no longer generate below eroded badlands (Template:Bug).
Water and lava springs now correctly generate at the expected frequency.
Fixed issue with copper ore hanging mid-air in ravines (Template:Bug).

Actors

Lightning bolts do not have a shadow anymore (Template:Bug).

Blocks

Snowy grass blocks and all types of snow blocks now use similar colors (Template:Bug).

Bone meal

Nether sprouts once again generate when using bone meal on warped nylium (Template:Bug).

Gameplay

Re-entering a Caves & Cliffs world when in a danger zone at a valid negative Y position no longer teleports player to positive Y (Template:Bug).
Copper ore now drops 2–5 (increased from 2–3) units of raw copper (Template:Bug).
In the stonecutter, a block of copper can be converted to four cut copper (Template:Bug).

Player

Fixed player hitbox not resetting after gliding with elytra (Template:Bug).
Fixed player flight with elytra being cancelled when hitting a wall and taking damage (Template:Bug).

Items

Ender pearls no longer generate as glow sticks in woodland mansion chests (Template:Bug).

Mobs

Fixed an issue preventing tropical fish from spawning in lush caves (Template:Bug).

Particles

Water drips now trigger splash effects.

Technical

Fixed caching support for subchunk requests where it would sometimes not use the cache.
Fixed a versioning error with animation controllers that was causing the wrong schema to be utilized on marketplace worlds with an animation controller version 1.8.0.

User interface

Renamed some occurrences of "level" in the user interface to the more accurate "world".
When a value for a stepped slider does not correspond to a step, it will display at the closest step.
Fixed the "Always Day" option missing from world settings (Template:Bug).
