Tenth prerelease.
1.13 going to be released today.
There are a lot of water related changes.
Air got nice things too.
Phantoms are air mobs, they spawn if player haven't sleep enough. This means in Mulltiplayer busy cities are best places to hunt phantoms.
They added Phantom Membrane (item dropped by Phantoms) - used to repair elytra and to make potion of slow falling, which slows down falling - perfect emergency when elytra breaks while high in air.
In Nether Slow Falling together with Fire Resistance means you can GTFO from danger easily.
Potion of Slow Falling allows to sprint jump six block long gaps.
Also it makes elytra firework launches easier.
There is bug: It slows down horizontal speed while wearing Elytra.
You can make potion of Turtle Master from turtle shells.
Those give you you Slowness IV/VI and Resistance III/IV on normal and buffed (glowstone) version.
That is 60% or 80% damage reduction
