It's a super sneaky snapshot day! The Minecraft Java team is travelling to GDC soon, so this will be the last snapshot for a couple of weeks.
A full changelog for the Snapshot can be found on Minecraft.net.
CHANGES IN 18W11A
- Added shipwrecks!
- Added a new hostile mob: The Drowned!
- Added coral fans!
- Added F3+C to copy your current location to clipboard
CORAL FANS
We were big fans of coral, so we couldn't resist.
- Doesn't spawn naturally yet
- You can place it on the side of coral!
DROWNED
They're called "drowned" for a reason!
- Spawn in all oceans! And rivers too!
- Zombies will also become drowned after, well, drowning
- Drowned can spawn with tridents, allowing you to get them in survival
- Their loot isn't final - there's a super secret item coming soon
- They can swim but they prefer to walk
- Gurgle.
- All drowned have a melee attack, and ones with tridents have a ranged attack
- Like zombies, drowned don't really like turtles that much
SHIPWRECKS
- Can be found in oceans and beaches
- Has 3 different type of loot depending on the ship!
- May spawn with some air pockets, that's a known bug. Sorry!
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!

Posted Mar 16, 2018I think the structures are a peice of trash but, the oceans themselves would be great if they were alot more expansive

Posted Mar 17, 2018This update is going to be amazing and I can’t wait! Buuut there is ONE thing that I absolutely can’t stand. I don’t particularly like the new horse model, but I can deal with it. But the real problem is the foals. WHY ARE THEIR NECKS SO LONG?! If they made the necks at least in proportion to the body like it used to be, then this would be the best update yet. Just PLEASE fix it!! Thanks

Posted Mar 18, 2018I like the new updates, but I'm not liking the Drowned. They spawn really frequently and they can take you down really easily in normal mode. I was just sailing and got sniped by a Drowned with a trident in daylight and it took me down in three or four hits even with iron armor. That was my first death on this file too.

Posted Mar 20, 2018Hi. I'm having issues getting Minecraft 1.12.2 to startup from the Default launcher. It was running fine yesterday till about 8pm MST. After some lag. It would freeze on the mojang screen. I tried Uninstalling/reinstalling a fresh version of vanilla Minecraft, it would still do it. I'm running the most current window 10 on a lanovo ideapad 100. Recently defraged, drivers should be good, though I haven't check that yet. Can anyone help? Is it just another update bug, or corrupted file?

Posted Mar 21, 2018if the bedrock edition has it it most likely will make it to java. Give it time!
A few years should do.

Posted Mar 23, 2018A few years? God... if they have it in bedrock edition it shouldn’t be that hard to implement it to java edition. And if they’re making terrible horse models in this update they can at least give us something positive to go with it

Posted Mar 24, 2018So, finally decided to create a Twitch account after all this time. Please, even if it wasn't intended, can we keep the ability for unarmed Zombies to pick up a Trident when drowning? I ask because the Trident in the unarmed Drowned's loot will likely be replaced by this "secret item", and I want to be able to get Tridents in my vanilla skyblock challenge-type worlds when the update comes out.

Posted Mar 31, 2018There's more than one chest in the sunken pirate ships... One's easy to find with food and supplies in it (good way to get potatoes early in the game), and another that's harder to find with actual treasure items (emeralds, gold, etc).
I like the content so far, but I'm hoping that Mojang starts releasing snapshots with some bug-stomping goodness in it (like the villager problems, pick-block issues, etc).

Posted Apr 1, 2018Am I the only one who thinks that the new texture, kinda sucks. I mean, I know they put a lot of work into it and everything, but why can't it just stay the same with added blocks and mobs. I love the turtles and the coral. I just think that maybe they're doing too much.
