Mojang has released the latest Minecraft 1.18.2 Update and has also provided important details about what is new in this updated version. Although the game has not seen a massive content change, there are still more than a few things that the fans and the community should be aware of.

Minecraft 1.18.2 Update: Patch notes
In the 1.18.2 version, there are several general changes and technical tweaks that have been introduced in Minecraft. Those who use custom modpacks or commands quite a lot will adapt to these changes effectively.
General changes
- The South Korean community have received gameplay timers, as well as reminders to take breaks. This is in compliance with the country’s gaming guidelines.
- The number zero used as a seed, is no longer considered as a special case.
- Any spaces placed in a seed’s input field, before or after the numbers will be removed.
- Dolphins have seen improved navigation towards structures, when players feed them.
- Ender Chests will no longer be gift-wrapped during Christmas Holidays.
Technical changes
- The locate command is now able to find configured structures, such as deserts, villages or beached shipwrecks, instead of simply finding the “village” or “shipwreck” structures widely.
- The locate commands now use a namespaced ID parameter. For example, players can locate “desert_village”, by using an underscore. The Nameplaced IDs not only allow players to use letters or numbers, but also symbols such as slashes and underscores.

- Custom structures can now be executed in custom datapacks.
