Update Aquatic

Legacy Console Edition:September 11, 2018 (excludes Xbox One and Nintendo Switch Editions)

The Update Aquatic is the name for a major update that was released for most versions of Minecraft in 2018, with the exception of the Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and New Nintendo 3DS editions. The Update Aquatic focuses on revamping the oceans in Minecraft, adding many new aquatic mobs, blocks, items, and structures. The update marks the advent of the trend of major themed content updates being released across certain editions relatively simultaneously, rather than across differently-titled, unrelated-sounding updates per edition.

The official name for the update, the Update Aquatic, was revealed on November 18, 2017, during the MINECON Earth 2017 live stream, at which time the Java Edition Update Aquatic was to be released as 1.14. For Java Edition, this update was previously intended to succeed an update titled Technically Updated,[1] until the decision was made to merge Update Aquatic into 1.13 due to the world generation rewrite taking longer than expected.
