Changes

Items

Minecraft:Campfires and Minecraft:Soul Campfires

• Can now stack to 64.

Technical

Molang

• Added experimental queries for item cooldowns: 'query.is_cooldown_type', 'query.cooldown_time', and 'query.cooldown_time_remaining'.
• Updated many Molang content errors to specify which operator or query was involved.

Data-Driven Items

• Updated documentation for 'IconItemComponent' and it now provides a list of all IDs for the 'legacy_id' field.

Data-Driven Sounds

• Removed the "replace" element from 'sound_definitions.json' for being ambiguous in its usage (and was never used).

Gameplay

• Data-driven blocks can now be added to the Creative menu.
• Knockback Roar is no longer stronger than it used to be.

Experimental

These changes are accessible by enabling the "Minecraft:Caves & Cliffs" experimental toggle.

World generation

Minecraft:Deep Warm Ocean

• Now generates naturally.

Noodle Minecraft:caves

• A thinner, squigglier, tighter variant of spaghetti caves.
• These are an improved version of the mesh caves announced around Minecraft Live.

Minecraft:Overworld

• Now uses the multi-noise biome source type.

Minecraft:Ore veins

• Long and rare Minecraft:ore formations.
• Minecraft:Copper ore veins mixed with Minecraft:granite and Minecraft:raw copper block generate above Y=0.
• Minecraft:Iron ore veins mixed with Minecraft:tuff and Minecraft:raw iron block generate below Y=0.

Sub-Minecraft:biomes

• Wooded hills, birch forest hills, tall birch hills, taiga hills, taiga mountains, gravelly mountains+, desert hills, desert lakes, shattered savanna plateau, swamp hills, dark forest hills, snowy mountains, snowy taiga hills, snowy taiga mountains, modified jungle, jungle hills, bamboo jungle hills, modified jungle edge, giant tree taiga hills, giant spruce taiga hills, eroded badlands, badlands plateau, modified badlands plateau, modified wooded badlands plateau, and mushroom field shore biomes no longer generate naturally.
  • It is unknown whetever jungle edge are unused or not, as Minecraft:Java Edition 1.18 experimental snapshot 5 re-added it.
  • The same with savanna plateau, as it currently exist in Minecraft:Java Edition latest experimental snapshot.
  • Whether any of the biomes listed will be re-added, or if any will be removed from the game outright, is currently unknown.

General

• Minecraft:Terrain generation is now independent from Minecraft:biomes, with biomes adapting to whatever Minecraft:terrain they happen to generate throughout.<ref>Template:YouTube link</ref>
  • This allows for natural variation in the terrain of any individual biome, both in terms of shape and elevation.
    • For example, forests and deserts could form up on a hill without needing a special biome just for that purpose.
  • This additionally allows for smoother transitions between biomes.
• Minecraft:Terrain is now smoother and more extreme.
