Java Edition 1.13 Pre-Release 9 OUT NOW & More Aquatic?!?

With the official Update Aquatic release looming ahead for launch this Wednesday, another Pre-Release Snapshot is out being Pre-release 9. This broke yet another record from Pre-8 as the longest amount of pre-releases for a Minecraft update.

Pre-release 9 contains small changes and bug fixes, essentially the final polish before official Aquatic launch for Java Edition.

Moreover, additional exciting news comes from Dinnerbone in reply to someone’s twitter comment.
It mentions how Minecraft may add some additions to the Update Aquatic in a later update/the future regarding water physics.
As a technical issue due to the large task of development, more changes to the water physics could come later.
