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 7 is the seventh and final experimental snapshot for Java Edition 1.18, released on September 8, 2021,[2][3] which introduces changes to terrain generation and tweaks to elytra due to various server chunk loading issues. This is the final experimental snapshot released in 2021.

Changes

Items

Elytra

  • No longer take durability damage when gliding, only when boosting with firework rockets.
  • Decreased the firework rocket boost on an elytra from 30 blocks per second to 26 blocks per second.
  • Now break when the item reaches 0 durability.

World generation

Caves

  • Noodle caves are no longer capped at Y=130, allowing cave openings and cracks in mountain peaks.

General

  • Slightly smoothened the terrain by lowering the noise.
