General

Minecraft:Data packs

• Increased data pack version from 8 to 9.
• It is now possible to add custom structures in experimental datapacks: the game now generates and stores data-driven configured structures.
  • Experimental datapacks can add new structure sets.
  • The Template:Cd field in location predicates now references a configured feature.
  • The Template:Cd loot table function Template:Cd field is now a configured feature tag id.
  • The Template:Cd loot table function no longer automatically sets the display name of the map.
• A lot of the cave generation is now configurable through data packs.
  • A new registry was added for Density functions (caves are created by combining those together).
  • Noise settings got a new field Template:Cd (and lost a couple of flags), see Template:Samp folder in the worldgen report.
  • Noise router wires data-driven parts of the cave generation with the rest of the code.

Minecraft:Title screen

File:1.18.2 32-bit warning.png

The "32-bit system detected" warning in the title screen.

• A warning message now appears on computers with a 32-bit operating system (or a 32-bit Java runtime on a 64-bit operating system), warning the player that their configuration may prevent them from playing a future version.
  • Support for 32-bit operating systems was eventually dropped in 1.20.5.

Trivia

• This pre-release skipped protocol version 1073741893 due to it being used by Minecraft:Deep Dark Experimental Snapshot 1, despite that version being an experimental snapshot.
