Beta 1.18.0.20 is the first beta version for Bedrock Edition 1.18.0, released on October 6, 2021,[1] which moved all Caves & Cliffs features out from experimental gameplay, and fixes bugs.

Changes

World generation

Caves

  • Old caves can now reach all the way to the surface.
  • Old cave carver placement is now on parity with Java Edition.

Mountains

  • Tweaked peaks to look more jagged on small mountains instead of looking like flat hilly mounds.

General

Chunks

  • Improved blending between old and new chunks.

Experiments

  • Removed the “Caves and Cliffs” experimental toggle.
    • All features previously locked behind this toggle are now available through normal gameplay.

Technical

Item Scripting

  • Implemented first past of Item Script Components:
    • ItemStack
      • Exposed interfaces for accessing script-enabled ItemComponents on ItemStack
      • hasComponent(componentId: string) - returns true if the ItemStack has the component [componentId] attached to it
      • getComponent(componentId: string) - returns a handle to the component attached to this ItemStack. Returns an undefined handle if the component does not exist or if the component is yet to be exposed to script.
      • getComponents() - returns an array of all attached script-enabled components on this ItemStack.
    • NumberRange
      • A class to describe a random value between a min and max number
      • Property min - the minimum value in the range
      • Property max - the maximum value in the range
      • next() - returns a random number between min and max.
    • Items registry
      • Added Items registry class to get all Items by name.
      • get(itemId: string) - returns a handle to an ItemType if a type by the given name exists.
    • Script-enabled item components
      • minecraft:food
        • Read-only property nutrition - number that describes how much nutrition the food item gives the player when eaten
        • Read-only property saturationModifier - number that is the saturation modifier used to apply the saturation buff when eaten
        • Read-only property canAlwaysEat - if true the player can always eat the specified item (even when not hungry).
        • Read-only property usingConvertsTo - string name of the item that the food item will be converted into when eaten. If empty, the item will not convert into anything else.
      • minecraft:durability
        • Read-only property maxDurability - the number that is the amount of damage this item can take before breaking
        • Read-only property damageRange - a NumberRange describing the chance of the item losing durability
        • Property damage - gets or sets the current damage on the ItemStack.
        • getDamageChance(unbreaking: number = <level>) - gets the maximum chance that the item would be damaged using the damageRange property if given an unbreaking level. The incoming unbreaking parameter must be greater than 0
