A new update for Minecraft is available, with the game getting version 1.18.30. There’s a lot here, including how worlds can now be created with 64-bit seeds. There are also a bunch of changes to improve damage and hunger calculations, new experimental features, tons of quality of life improvements and bug fixes, and more.
