Minecraft 1.13.2
Released on 22 October 2018, Minecraft Java Edition 1.13.2 is the final release of Update Aquatic (1.13). It speeds up world upgrades and startup and fixes 9 bugs, including a spawn egg exploit that allowed arbitrary command execution. Mojang announced the first 1.14 snapshot for two days later.
Key takeaways
- Performance: faster world upgrades and startup, plus better performance for Turtle pathfinding and mob spawning.
- Security: spawn eggs now check that the entity is valid, which closes an arbitrary command execution exploit (MC-136759).
- Oceans: Update Aquatic added coral reefs, Shipwrecks, Ocean Ruins, icebergs and several new ocean biomes.
- New mobs: dolphins, turtles, tropical fish, the Drowned and the Phantom.
- New systems: swimming, waterlogged blocks, data packs and the Trident.
