Minecraft 1.18 Experimental Snapshot 7 brings tweaks to elytra, rockets, noodle caves and terrain generation. This article guides readers on how to download the latest experimental snapshot.

The third and fourth pre-releases for 1.18 arrived, bundled together, mere minutes after Mojang’s blog post announcing the release of the official version.

The Java Edition version of 1.18.1 still needs to go through a round of testing.

Minecraft runs on Java version 17 as of this pre-release – and you can expect the same to be true of the live version of Java Edition once 1.18 officially lands.

The massive 1.18.30 patch update for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition is now gaining its second hotfix, which targets Android and Nintendo Switch platforms.
