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!

There’s a whole new ocean of features, impatiently waiting for you to dive in! Take a delightful swim with dolphins and tropical fish. Explore mysterious ruins and tragic shipwrecks while hunting for new deep-sea treasures. Meet turtles on the shore and defend their eggs from mobs with the new trident!

The Update Aquatic is out now on Minecraft: Java Edition! Load up the game and click Play to dive in.

A WORLD OF NEW CREATURES
The oceans of the Overworld are populated by both fish and foe alike. Some will fight you, while others will become your buddy! Play with the dolphins, swim with majestic turtles, or brawl with the hostile Drowned. And if you do come up for air, watch out for the Phantom soaring the skies!

EXPLORE THE DEPTHS
Swim through a paradise of colourful reefs, deep sea trenches, and kelp forests – all filled with neat new blocks to use in your builds! Legend also speaks about shipwrecks and forgotten ruins, rumoured to hold treasures for any adventurer brave enough to explore them…

WIELD NEW ITEMS
It is said that the oceans are home to some mythical items, and only the most daring adventurers reap the rewards! Discover shipwrecks and underwater ruins, take a swing at the Drowned for a chance to earn a mighty trident, or assemble the awesome conduit.
