## [](#version-1-18-31-update-patch-notes)Version 1.18.31 update patch notes

- Changes:
    - Spectator Mode is now available as an experimental option. Players may now test out an early version of Spectator Mode.
    - We will not take bug reports for Spectator Mode for the time being since its present implementation is in its early stages of development and susceptible to change.

    - Fixed a problem with flowing water and lava textures not showing up appropriately on iOS devices.
    - Various framerate issues have been resolved, with a focus on less powered mobile devices (MCPE-142934)
    - Buttons can no longer produce Mobs (MCPE-153897)
    - Fixed a bug in which repeatedly saving and reloading certain chunks caused delayed chunk loading, performance difficulties, and game instability (MCPE-154110, MCPE-154278)
    - After upgrading to version 1.18.30, there was a bug that prohibited worlds from being opened.
    - When the prerequisites are satisfied, the “Sound of Music” achievement is now unlocked.
