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]

1.18.1 Pre-release 1 (known as 1.18.1-pre1 in the launcher) is the first and only pre-release for Java Edition 1.18.1, released on December 3, 2021,[2] which makes changes to the fog and fixes bugs. This is the final pre-release released in 2021.

Changes

General

Fog

  • World fog now starts further away from the player, to make distant terrain more visible.
  • Instead of applying fog as a spherical volume it is now applied as a cylindrical volume.

Fixes

4 issues fixed

From released versions before 1.18

  • MC-219507 – Beacon's power reverts back to previous one on world reload.

From 1.18

  • MC-242729 – Observer activating without any updates nearby, caused by /clone.
  • MC-243216 – Chunk render distance on servers seems shorter than in 1.17.1.

Other

  • Fixed an issue that would cause players on low-bandwidth connections to get timeout errors when connecting to a server.[2]
