Update, April 27, 2022, at 5:55 p.m. CT: Mojang Studios has released the 1.18.31 hotfix update with a handful of fixes.

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.

• 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

• 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

  • A new path will then be calculated to continue toward home
• Added Knockback Height Cap value to KnockbackRoarGoal

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 and initialize) that contain capital letters are properly evaluated now with format_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 Logical OR, 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 and A < B == C > D now evaluates as (A < B) == (C > D)

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).
