This page covers a development version that has a major issue under certain conditions.
The dedicated server for this version has a security vulnerability in the Log4j library that could be used to perform a remote code execution exploit. It can be addressed by appending a certain JVM argument to the server startup command line.[1]

Trivia
- In the launcher, the introduction of this version’s patch note is “Squish, squash is the sound bugs make when you squish them. Or was it squash them? Anyway, here’s pre-release 8 with more bug fixes.”
- This is the second time to feature an eighth pre-release, after 1.13-pre8.
