Minecraft 118 PreLaunch 2 Upgrades The Java Version

The snapshots for 1.18 are executed as we transfer into a brand new section of Minecraft betas for the upcoming update, and the changes are getting extra technical as we go. 1.18 pre-release 2 upgrades the Java model, and makes a bunch of bug fixes. That’s it! And that means we’re probably very near the Minecraft 1.18 release date.

Minecraft runs on Java version 17 as of this pre-release - and you may expect the identical to be true of the live model of Java Edition once 1.18 officially lands. JUST SAY YES JUST SAY YES Minecraft already moved from Java 8 to Java 16 earlier this 12 months. The improve ought to be principally invisible to most players, although you may see some slight performance differences with the change.

Past that, it’s just about all bug fixes, as you may see on the official site. As we’ve moved from snapshots to pre-launch variations, 1.18 is probably going dropping quickly, pending whatever closing bug fixes the devs at Mojang have to make.
