MINECRAFT SNAPSHOT 18W09A
A Minecraft Java Edition snapshot

We're currently battling winter here in the office, but we managed to sneak out this small snapshot a little later than usual.

CHANGES IN 18W09A

Added underwater ruins!
Added new coral blocks!
Phantoms no longer spawn in the end
Phantoms despawn in the daytime
Optimized particle rendering slightly

UNDERWATER RUINS

We've ruined the game. Again.

Come in many different shapes and sizes!
Cold ruins can be found in cold, frozen, ocean biomes - regardless of depth
Warm ruins can be found in warm, lukewarm, and deep lukewarm biomes
Can generate alone or in a big ruined village
You can also sometimes find them slightly underground or slightly above sealevel
They can contain mysterious treasures! So mysterious that we haven't even added the real treasure yet.
A few more things to come in a future snapshot...

CORAL

Pretty blocks! Or should they be mobs? I'm not entirely sure.

Comes in 5 colors: blue, pink, purple, red, yellow
Requires water to stay alive
If it dies, it dies. Sorry.
Currently only obtainable in the creative inventory
World generation to come in a future snapshot...
