What you need to know
- A new patch update is beginning to roll out to Minecraft: Bedrock Edition players on all platforms.
- The update includes hundreds of changes, fixes, quality-of-life improvements, and some The Wild Update experimental features.
- Headlining features include an updated "Create New World" screen, 64-bit seeds, updated damage and hunger, and more.
- The update is gradually rolling out over the next 24 hours, meaning you may not immediately see it appear on your device.
Minecraft never stops improving, and players are in for at least one more sizeable jump forward in quality before the next major content update later this year. On Tuesday, Mojang Studios began releasing Minecraft: Bedrock Edition 1.18.30 to players on all platforms, delivering a huge number of changes and fixes.
Minecraft: Bedrock Edition 1.18.30 is built on top of the Caves and Cliffs Update initially released throughout 2021, and features a plethora of improvements to better the experience in Minecraft. Some of the biggest changes in this patch update include a redesigned "Create New World" screen, 64-bit world seeds, improvements to damage and hunger calculations, dozens of vanilla parity improvements, and more.
There are also some experimental features from The Wild Update, letting players test parts of the upcoming, content-packed release without enrolling in the recent Minecraft: Bedrock Edition betas and Previews. An early version of the upcoming Spectator Mode is also included in this build, but Mojang Studios notes that this feature isn't in active testing, yet, and won't arrive until after The Wild Update releases later in 2022.
The changelog for this patch update is extensive, and will help further cement Minecraft on the list of best Xbox games, despite some recent mishaps for current-gen players. In case you missed it, we recently discussed how Mojang Studios should come clean about Minecraft and ray tracing on Xbox Series X|S.

RenderDragon
- With the release of RenderDragon for Android, iOS, Nintendo Switch, and Win10 UWP x86, HAL will no longer be available on these platforms
- We know the community has found ways to build shaders on top of HAL and with this change, these shaders will no longer function
- We understand that this is a valuable feature for players and the creator community, and we are working on how we may be able to deliver this sort of creative capability to players and creators in an officially supported way
- While we have nothing to share right now, look out for more details in the future
Additional modding capabilities (Experimental)
- Important! In this release, we are removing the Additional Modding Capabilities experiment
- This experiment contained experimental JavaScript APIs launched in 2018 — and with this removal, JavaScript within worlds associated with this API will no longer function
- GameTest Framework — a separate JavaScript API — should not be impacted, nor should behavior pack / resource pack type add-ons more broadly
Changes
- A world with "StorageVersion" 8 or lower will be increased to 9 and have its
RandomSeed
upgraded from using only the lower 32 bits of a 64-bit number to using the full 64-bit range while still representing the same number- This is only relevant for negative 32-bit seeds, which need a sign bit extension
- The world loading screen now shows progress when loading ticking areas marked for preload
- Experimental: Volume definitions are now stored and read from Behavior Packs instead of being part of the level directory
- Experimental: Added an optional
mob_amount
parameter to the Damage Event Response that specifies a unique damage amount when used by mobs - Due to engine limitations,
minecraft:geometry
data used for blocks with the Holiday Creator Features experimental toggle are now restricted to only allow geometry in the[0,0,0]
to[15,15,15]
space- Any blocks loaded from Behavior Packs that exceed this limit will render as the
info_update
block and show a content error in the log

- The
Interact
component now has two new fields,GiveItem
andTakeItem
, specifying if it is possible to give / take items from an entities main hand slot. Taking the item also drops the inventory of the mob - Removed
preventsjumping
component from data-driven blocks - Removed
BlockImmovable
,BlockBreakOnPush
, andBlockOnlyPistonPush
components from data-driven blocks - Limited the number of elements in the

- Mobs that are riding a boat, for example, can no longer use
JumpToBlockGoal
- Custom mobs with a format version lower than 1.18.20 and using the
minecraft:behavior.knockback_roar
component will parse like before if it contains an extra field that the engine didn't expect - Fixed an issue in the
Knockback
goal where the incorrect owner was being passed into the filter evaluate function - Weapon events are now correctly applied when the weapons are used by mobs (MCPE-118692)
JumpToBlock
behavior is now correctly affected byJumpBoost
mob effect (MCPE-137432)- Fixed a case where experimental
BlockCollisionComponents
did not allow partial specification - Rotation when riding a mob that has a locked rotation will no longer unexpectedly snap to one side when that mob is rotating
Commands
- Fixed an issue that would cause commands to affect players in all dimensions
- Added the
hasitem
filter for target selector of entities. This allows the player to target entities based on the items that have in their inventory or are wearing - Added
/tickingarea
command preload overload - The
/tickingarea
command no longer modifies areas from entities with thetick_world
component - Entities must now be loaded for an area to be considered fully loaded and ticking
- Added a new
/volumearea
command to create, remove, and list volumes in the world - Using
/playanimation
command now properly plays animations on the paper doll and inventory character - Correct error output is now displayed when attempting to use the
/loot
spawn command when passing in the position of an unloaded area and there is 0 loot to drop - Added
/loot
command insert loot and insert kill overload
AI goals
- Exposed new data parameter
calculate_new_path_radius
forGoHomeGoal
. This is for specifying a distance in blocks that the mob is considered close enough to the end of the current path- A new path will then be calculated to continue toward home
- Added
Knockback Height Cap
value toKnockbackRoarGoal
WebSocket
- JSON format for events sent from websocket server and Code Builder APIs updated to hierarchical JSON format instead of flat format
- Less useful properties removed with block and item IDs moved to newer name-based format instead of numerical format
- Agent-based commands in websockets moved to new
action:agent
format, and all commands are now queued and include unique ids to correlate responses - Any future breaking changes to websocket and Code Builder APIs will now result in the
protocolVersion
being incremented
Molang
- Molang expressions inside animation scripts for actor resource definition (
pre_animation
andinitialize
) that contain capital letters are properly evaluated now withformat_version
1.18.20 or higher - Clarified documentation for
query.is_item_name_any
that the slot index is required when there is more than one slot, like the hotbar - Fixed Logical
AND
to evaluate before LogicalOR
, and for comparison operators to evaluate before equality operators- This is a Molang Versioned Change that only takes effect for Molang expressions in packs that use a
min_engine_version
of 1.18.20 or higher - For example,
A && B || C
now evaluates as(A && B) || C
andA < B == C > D
now evaluates as(A < B) == (C > D)
- This is a Molang Versioned Change that only takes effect for Molang expressions in packs that use a
GameTest Framework (Experimental)

Update, April 27, 2022, at 5:55 p.m. CT — The 1.18.31 hotfix update is here with a handful of fixes for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition
The 1.18.30 update for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition was sizeable, but reportedly suffered from a variety of issues. On Wednesday, Mojang Studios began rolling out the Minecraft: Bedrock Edition 1.18.31 hotfix update, which includes a fresh batch of fixes directly aimed at the previous update. This is a minor release, so there aren't any major improvements or feature additions with this release.
The full changelog for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition 1.18.31 includes:
Changes
- Introducing Spectator Mode experimental toggle
- Players can now try out an early development version of Spectator Mode
- For now, we will not be accepting bug reports related to Spectator Mode since its current implementation is very early in development and subject to change
Fixes
- Fixed several crashes that could occur during gameplay
- Fixed an exploit with improperly gaining XP through Furnaces
- Fixed the screen turning black when reloading RTX worlds
- Fixed textures of distant blocks appearing grainy, warped, and distorted when playing on Android devices
- Fixed flowing water and lava textures not appearing correctly on iOS devices
- Fixed various framerate hitches, particularly impacting less powerful mobile devices
- Mobs can no longer spawn on Buttons
- Fixed an issue where repeatedly saving and reloading specific chunks would result in delayed chunk loading, performance issues, and game instability
- Fixed an issue that prevented worlds from being opened after updating to version 1.18.30
- The "Sound of Music" achievement now unlocks when requirements are met
- Fixed issues with Marketplace not opening on Nintendo Switch
- Fixed an infinite loading screen that could occur when making purchases in Marketplace
Mojang Studios has warned that this hotfix may take a few days to appear to all players. The release is starting with Xbox, PlayStation, PC, and Android platforms, and will roll out to Switch and iOS in the coming days.
Update, May 5, 2022, at 11:25 a.m. CT — The 1.18.32 hotfix update improves performance on Android and Nintendo Switch devices
The major 1.18.30 update for Minecraft is now securing its second hotfix update with the release of Minecraft: Bedrock Edition 1.18.32, which is even more minor than the previous hotfix. This update focuses entirely on improving performance on Android devices and the Nintendo Switch, and doesn't include any other gameplay fixes or improvements.
Fixes
- Improved game performance on certain Android devices
- Addressed chunk loading and freeze issues in Nintendo Switch
The 1.18.32 hotfix update is now available to download on Android and Nintendo Switch, and isn't coming to other platforms (due to its targeted and limited fixes).
