Some other major things which are expected to change, break or need updates:
- Alternating water/sign elevators will no longer function, particularly with undead, which now sink instead of floating. You can fix a pigman elevator (as one example) by taking the following steps:
- Ink sacs will be harder to come by due to squid changes.
- Items and XP orbs will now float in water.
- Texture packs that haven't been updated for 1.13 may still function for old blocks, but won't have any textures for the new stuff. Best bet is to try it and see how it works. I was able to cobble together an acceptable (hopefully temporary) solution for the 1.12 pack I use by stealing some bits from a different, updated pack and making a few new textures myself.
- Phantoms are a thing, they're highly annoying, but they will go away if you lie in bed for a few seconds.
- As of this writing, Optifine for version 1.13.1 is close to completed, but hasn't yet been released. (A pre-release version is available for download, but so far I haven't been able to get it to install.)
- Alternating water/sign elevators will no longer function, particularly with undead, which now sink instead of floating. You can fix a pigman elevator (as one example) by taking the following steps:
- Place a block of soulsand at the bottom of the elevator water column (pigmen must step onto it to be propelled upward.)
- Remove signs and fill every block in the water column with a water source block.
- Install a snowman at the same level as the bottom of the water column (where the pigmen will need to enter it) to aggro and to knock them into the column with snowballs.
- If necesssary, increase the height of the elevator to allow time for the pigmen to de-aggro; the new bubble elevators are fast! I found in testing that a height of about 36-37 water source blocks seems to work; maybe say 40 to be safe.
- This might or might not work with skeletons, as they could potentially shoot the snowmans. (Has anyone tried to make a skellyvator in 1.13?)
