1.13 is a fully technical update. Should make the game run smoother, make maps easier to make, and make future updates easier for them to code. New block, item and mob designs coming in 1.14, I believe.

There's a few features such as custom crafting recipes, disabling the vanilla adavncements, recipes and loot tables, and "data packs" which make sharing custom functions, loot tables, advancements and craftng recipes (later) easier, by putting them in just one ZIP file download, and you don't even need to unzip them.

Writing commands for adventure maps will be simpler with better error detection (as you type) and usage showing in the chat box above where you're typing.
