After announcing the split update in April, Mojang removed the world generation features from both the snapshots and beta versions. However, Java players were still able to get the 1.18 features by downloading an official prototype datapack.



Minecraft 1.18 development has now started once again, and the developers are releasing beta versions for Bedrock Edition. This article informs players about some 1.18 features added in beta releases.

New 1.18 features added to Minecraft Bedrock beta versions

#5 – Goat horns

Bedrock Edition players can now get goat horns from goats. If a goat hits its head on a solid block, it will drop a horn. Players can get up to two goat horns from a single goat in Minecraft.

Players can use goat horns to produce a sound similar to the Illager's attack sound. The developers have confirmed that it will have more usability in the full version.

#4 – Spawn closer to the world center

In Minecraft Bedrock, players often spawn hundreds of blocks away from the world origin. In Java Edition, players always spawn close to the origin of the world, which is how it should be.



This issue was fixed in the recent beta and players will now spawn near the origin of the world (0,0).

#3 – Noodle caves
