PHANTOMS
You look tired. When's the last time you got a decent night's rest? Bad things happen to those who don't sleep... they start to hallucinate, and see what's really there.
- Spawns in the overworld and the end
- Attacks players who haven't slept in a while
- Drops leather, but this may change
TURTLES
The turtle moves.
- Spawns on warm beaches, but this is temporary
- Will lay eggs in their home beach
- You can craft pieces of their old shell into one big shell
- And wear it on your head!
- Or craft it into a potion!
- Turtles are known for their strength, not their speed
- Please be kind to turtles. They hold up the world.
KELP AND SEAGRASS
The green in the blue!
- Seagrass generates in all oceans, but this is temporary
- Kelp doesn't generate in deep oceans, but this is temporary
- Kelp can be smelted to get dry kelp
- A tasty snack for the ocean adventurer!
- Or a convenient way to fuel more smelting
- Or just store it away into a dried kelp block
BUBBLE COLUMNS
Blub blub blub blub.
- Doesn't generate anywhere currently
- Occurs when a magma block is in water
- Watch out, you'll get sucked under!
- A good way to breath without cheating game mechanics
STRIPPED LOGS
Go ahead, axe us a question.
- You can strip logs by using an axe on them (right-click)
- Stripped logs act like regular logs in furnaces, crafting, etc
- They look neat!
TRIDENTS
Some say that throwing your only weapon away is a bad idea. We disagree.
- Right click to throw the trident
- Left click to melee
- Currently unobtainable in survival, that will change
- Super overpowered, we'll balance them later
- Has 4 available enchantments
- Loyalty: Your trident will come back to you. Spoil-sport.
- Impaling: Very useful against creatures of the sea.
- Riptide: Gotta go fast.
- Channeling: We're not sure. It's pretty spooky.
- UI icon is not yet implemented
FIXED BUGS
- MC-11208 - The big tree generator handles tree height variable incorrectly
- MC-124890 - Can't insert charcoal into furnace
- MC-124897 - "Balloon oak" tree variant generates upside down, with often only stumps visible on the surface
- MC-124902 - Furnace recipes work in crafting interfaces and interfere with crafting recipes

- MC-124913 - Horses, rabbit, parrot, llamas and sheep generate with default color / variant only
- MC-124916 - Chorus plant generation broken
- MC-124930 - The game crashes when pressing "show craftable" in the furnace recipe book.
- MC-124952 - Large oak trees fail to generate in all biomes with the new generator
- MC-125016 - Debug world does not generate
- MC-125047 - World generator not fully cleaned before making new world
To get snapshots, open your launcher and go to the "launch options" tab. Check the box saying "Enable snapshots" and save. To switch between the snapshot and normal version, you can find a new dropdown menu next to the "Play" button. Back up your world first or run the game on in a different folder (In the "launch options" page).
Please report any and all bugs you find in Minecraft to bugs.mojang.com.
Snapshots can corrupt your world, please backup and/or run them in a different folder from your main worlds. 1.13 will have a lot of experimental snapshots that may break everything and smell funny. This may be one of those snapshots. This is what happens when Mojang are changing all the things!
Share your thoughts on how 1.13 is shaping up in the comments below!
@dufhugth20 - Yes. I know that. This thread being about the new Phantom mob, I'm asking if you have to sleep through the night to reset the sleep counter and prevent Phantoms from spawning, or if you just have to hop into bed and can hop back out (whether or not you sleep through the night) and have that count. Because if not, sure, SMP, the Phantom mob is going to be a constant problem especially on larger servers. Even if your attitude toward AFK farming is opposition, AFK players will absolutely screw everyone else whether you're opposed to it or not.
Someone else asked, and I just want to echo the question, do we know if you have to sleep through the night or just hop in bed once? Because on servers, this will probably be really difficult on a number of players.
That's still an unknown on SMP. In single player it will amount to the same thing with the announcement that phantoms will despawn in the day anyway. No word (that I've seen at least) with any details about how they spawn (or can be prevented from spawning) in the first place beyond what we already know (ie: its somehow related to not sleeping but we don't know exactly how yet.)
TURTLES
I like the stripped logs!
I think it wiould be awesome to have a train to travel around with as well It would be nice to have a bigger boat to travel the sea that holds up to like five players. Also sarks that travel the ocean and will attack your boat, orca as a Mutual mob , and Penguins that hang out on the ice burgs and in the cold oceans and Biomes that you could tame as pets with fish. This is just my thoughts and something that I would like to see in the game. side note you could operate the train and boat with Cole and horse buggy’s as well
Alright. I'll admit. This update is looking quite delicious.
Content ~R I C H~
This one gave me a good chuckle, upsidedown trees.
What about us users who use an Axe instead of a sword? i can see a lot of accidental stripping from trying to block with a sheild near trees. I hope the stripping action doesnt interrupt blocks causing potential death.
Epic, epic. Ehhh, where is my pre-release?
es verdad donde esta aun no me aparece la actualizacion???
Please. fix freezes
More half baked stuff
More constant whining by a man that just seems to hate content...
Hi Company of Mojang My name is SimpsonGamer27 and i contacting you for some BUGS of the 18w07b Snapshot Version,to start with the BUG of WATER when you put a tile of PRISMARINE the WATER is BUG.The SECOND BUG is to open the inventory in a world a player who belives today i when i open the inventory CRASHES me and please fix it becouse otherwise i can not play MINECRAFT Thank You Very Much SimpsonGamer27
Dude. Mojang does not read forum posts like these.
Report that bug on the actual bug tracker site.
I think there is something less about the new trident weapon,dont you think. For this snapshot there is no other way to get trident in survival except be on creative mode.I am sure this is related to dolfin and wreck ship, because mojang had told us that dolfin will lead us to the wreck ship to discover valuable loots and also trident...but still there is something less about this trident.About where it come from.I aspecting an ancient underwater mob rule over the sea with the trident or just a mermaid would be cool if they're neutral and attacking player with trident.Also add something like abandoned underwater village would you.
in the world today can open the inventory
Great additions, I'm excited for all of that!
Snapshot c now and I was doing testing in a creative world and a small swarm of the new "mob b" were spawning in the overworld now! As I had a bow from a skeleton drop I switched it to survival to practice shooting them as they lunge, it was fun!
Are they going to bring back customized? D: I would really like to define my own generation rules once again.
