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 experimental snapshot 6 is the sixth experimental snapshot for Java Edition 1.18, released on September 1, 2021,[2][3] which introduces changes to terrain generation and tweaks biome placement.
Changes
Mobs
- Now follow players holding golden carrots, golden apples, and enchanted golden apples.
- Now follow players holding hay bales.
World generation
- Aquifers under oceans or rivers are more likely to link to the underground.
- More likely to find cave openings on ocean floors that actually lead somewhere instead of being cut off.
- Caves at Y=0 to Y=40 which under oceans are more likely to be flooded.
Giant tree taiga and giant spruce taiga
- No longer considered as cold climates.
- Decreased the chance of mixed in with snowy biomes, caused a small reshuffle of other biomes to maintain the overall balance.
Grove and snowy slopes
- Decreased the chance of generating on mountain peaks.
- Altered generation so that they tend to spawn farther away from contrasting temperatures.
- Slightly reduced the number of water springs.
- Now generate in dry areas.
- Decreased the chance of being fragmented.
- Underwater variants readded.
- No longer use a specific carver for underwater canyons. Instead, they generate on ocean floors, using normal noise caves and carvers.
- Now have more natural variation.
General
- Decreased the chance of generating cold microbiomes.
- Slightly increased the number of underwater magma blocks, to increase the chance of finding air when diving in aquifers.
- Cave carvers can now carve through sand and gravel on ocean floors.
Fixes
- Fixed decreased generation rate of lush caves.
