Minecraft 1.13 Pre-Release 8

We’re now on pre-release 8 and we expect there to be a couple of more pre-releases before the full release. That said, unless any major show stopper pops up after the upcoming pre-releases, we aim to release Update Aquatic for Minecraft: Java Edition on Wednesday, July 18th.

A full changelog for this Pre-Release can be found on Minecraft.net.

• Added dead coral fans
  
  
• Changed which blocks show dripping liquids
  
  
• Team names & objective names are now text components, not raw strings
  
  
• More bugfixes!

To get pre-releases, 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.

Pre-releases can corrupt your world, please backup and/or run them in a different folder from your main worlds.
