31 Changes You Might’ve Missed in Minecraft

– [Skip The Tutorial] 31 Changes You Maybe Missed in Minecraft 1.18. With the second half of the Caves and Cliffs update, we’ve got a huge change to the way that our worlds generate, which means the smaller stuff can go underappreciated. And that’s what we’re focusing on today.

And hey, YouTube bets that you can’t subscribe to the channel before this goat hits me off the cliff. So if you’re up to the challenge, headbutt that red sub button below. It’s free, and it helps out a ton. Number one. By this point, we’re all familiar with the

Trick to turn your animals upside down by using a “Dinnerbone” name tag but, in this update, that’s been tweaked a bit. And now, when you feed your flipped over friends, they’ll look up at the food instead of down like they used to, though the sheep still don’t work. Number two.

One of the big changes for Minecraft going forward is parity between how Java and Bedrock generate. So, as the two versions get closer and closer, our enchantment tables are doing the same. And now, enchantment tables in the Java version give off a light level of 7,

Just enough to light up the 15 bookshelves nearby. Number three. Axolotls marked one of the cuter additions to the 1.17 update. but, while that’s still true, now they’re a bit harder to find from now on. Since, in 1.18, these mobs now only spawn in lush cave biomes with stone directly above,

And they’ve got their own mob cap. So don’t expect to see many of these down there anyway. Number four. for years, the building community has wanted some way to stop plants from growing past a certain point. And fortunately, we can now pull it off in the base game by using shears like so.

So if you want your glow berries, kelp, and nether vines to stay that way, this’ll do the trick. But the regular vines still don’t do it. Unfortunately. Number five. One of the long forgotten features of Minecraft was the ability to harm Enderman with splash water bottles and for

Several updates. Now this has been broken in the code. But from now on, that seems to be fixed. And finally, we can cross one of these nonsensical glitches off of the bug tracker. Number six. Minecraft has plenty of minor frustrations, and sometimes it’s hard to notice them until they happen to

You. Like in the past, when you would type in a bed, only for it to close the chat window once you wake up. And thankfully that’s been rectified for us going forward. Number seven. villagers, aren’t the nicest of mobs clearly, but now they seem to have regained some humanity.

See before, they would attack any villager, no holds barred. But here on now, they’ll leave the babies be. So if you break their crossbows with this trick, then we can fully pacify them for reintegration into society. Number eight. I think we all can agree that more accessibility options are always a good thing,

Which is why it’s a real treat to see the flashing lights from a lightning storm can now be toggled off like so. And if it lets me build a machine like this without the headache that comes with, that’s definitely a plus. Number nine. the crafting recipe book is a great resource to have,

But while it’s useful here, it hasn’t always been the best implemented. And you’d see as much if you had a post potion effect since it was usually hidden behind. But now, we see these effects along the right side of the screen. We can even hover over them to see the time remaining.

Number 10. Leading mobs around could be something of a grueling task. And unless you’ve got a lot of slime and string, it’s not easy to do in bulk. So thankfully, little changes like this can lighten the load. Since now your horses, mules and donkeys will follow you around when you’re holding

A golden carrot or golden apple. And side Note. You should definitely take the cheaper one. Number 11. every now and then Mojang adds a feature without properly implementing it. And these neglected bits can usually lie dormant in the game’s code. But at least for the deep warm ocean, that’s finally changed.

As this biome can now generate through natural means. – So if you’re sick of the coral and pickles, I guess here you go. Number 12. Minecraft’s clouds don’t get a lot of love. And by this point, many of us have turned them off in the settings.

But part of that is because these exists so low within the world. And thankfully, along with the new height to our worlds, these float a y level of 192 instead of 128, like before. Number 13. For anyone interested in achievement hunting, then the new update brings along a new checklist.

And this one’s no different. But this might be the strangest option yet. See, if you were to bring a village or up to the new world height and then make a trade, you’ll get the star trader achievement to now show off. If you want to, I guess. Number 14.

Minecraft’s loot tables can sometimes be a let down and I’m sure plenty can relate to a exploring a desert temple only to find a bunch of rotten flesh. But now it seems that our buried treasure might’ve gotten a boost. As water breathing potions will now spawn inside. Which should make the next chest,

Even easier to grab. Number 15. While everyone likes to talk about all the new stuff that we got with a new release, there’s also plenty of that’s been removed. So I’m sorry to let you know that at in 1.18 Mojang removed 34 biomes from the game.

But rest assured that’s only because these sub biomes only existed for the old generation to work. And nowadays with the new one. They’re unnecessary. Number 16. Brightness displays a critical role in the games atmosphere, which is why it’s always struck me as weird that the developer set the

Slider by default to the lowest setting of moody. It’s like when you subscribed to a channel for notifications on all uploads, then YouTube still asks you to ring the bell to actually do that. It makes no sense. Oh, thanks for subscribing by the way. But now it seems that Mojangs changed their ways.

As now when you start up Minecraft, the brightness will now default to 50 instead. Number 17. Drowned are famous for prowling around the various rivers that we’ve got on the surface. Well, you’re less likely to see some of these in the caves blow. At least you wouldn’t until now.

But with the addition of aquifers, next to dripstone caves, these mops can now spawn in the underground. Given their zombie cousin’s some new competition. Number 18. Even after a big overhaul at the 1.14 texture update, there’s still plenty of tweaks to be made to Minecraft design. So with each update,

You’re sure to see a couple of spreads, get a subtle change. And here that lends to item frames. As now, these will have a Birch colored frame to match their in world model. Number 19. With the village and pillage update, our world’s got a big population boost and in Mojangs eyes,

It seems like that boost was a bit too much. since now these villages will spawn less frequently and more spaced out than before. Which is a shame for your iron farm, but it will make the next one you find a lot more special. Number 20.

If you’ve ever gone exploring in the ocean blue, you’ve probably felt the current of one of these and those magma blocks that played a big part in giving us and our boats a tough time. But that’s only going to get more common as now more of

These are set to spawn in the ocean. For what that’s worth. Number 21. As advertised the one point 18 update brings a big change to our world’s generate, but one of the sneakier changes the way the bedrock layers now work. See in the past, these layers remain consistent,

All worlds regardless of your seed. But now it’s set to randomize, just like any other block regenerate. Number 22. Using the right tool to break a block is usually straightforward, but what’s weird is when certain blocks don’t require a tool at all. And for a time the conduit was in that category though,

From this point that can only be broken with a pickax, which I think makes sense anyhow. Number 23. Now I’ll admit sometimes Mojang makes a change that I can’t wrap my head around. And this time that would have to be the redesigns to the campfire sprites.

Since now, these are made to have a shorter flame than before, and that’s it. And personally, I’d still prefer if they took after vanilla tweaks and made them animated instead. Number 24. Some changes might be hard to notice until you take that closer look. Like this change to the way the chunks render.

Now they work in something of a cylinder pattern instead of the square one from before. And hopefully even if it is hard to notice, it should help make the game run that little bit smoother. Number 25. When you look through the changes in an update, a lot of it reads as cleanup.

Which makes sense since it’d be tough to do everything in one go. So even though we got a big texture update back in 1.14, it’s still taken until now for the Withers skull texture to reflect those changes. But hey, from now on it’s fixed. Number 26.

Okay, let’s play a game of spot the difference looking at these two comparators one in 1.17, and the other one, 1.18. Which is the recent version. Well, zoomed out like this, It’s hard to tell. But with a closer look, now we can see that the powered comparator

In 1.18, got some red pixels added to the texture. Number 27. Some mistakes are so obscure that it’s hard to notice even when they’re pointed out to you. But sure enough, the armor and weapon smith variants of the zombie villagers had a mistake on their textures.

And this was likely due to reusing the villager textures and missing a few pixels here and there. But nowadays that’s no more. Number 28. Unless you’ve got a drown farm, It’s tough to get a bunch of copper to your name. So any change to the ore would be a huge help.

And they did just that in 1.18. As we can now get anywhere from two to five rock copper from an ore instead of the two to three from the past. Number 29. Nobody likes going slow, and even less like to be slowed down. So for that reason would always be a pain,

If you were brushed up against a wall and then you’d stop sprinting. But from now on, don’t sweat it. As now small angles like this will let you sprint just the same and finish up the parkour just as planned. Number 30. Privacy is a hot topic these days.

And for some players, it’s the most important thing. So to abide by that Mojang has got you covered. See this option labeled allow server listings. Well, toggle that, and now you won’t show up when someone checks the server and that’ll let you enjoy the game all without being swarmed by your adoring fans.

Number 31. Sometimes it’s the little tweaks that answered the community’s prayers and this fits that list. See, in 1.18, when you enter the sound settings, it’s now simple as choosing an output device for the game sounds. And, while that can clearly help us on the recording side.

It’s also quality of life feature for the rest of us to use. And with that folks enjoy 1.18 and have a good one. All right.
