The second half of the 'Caves and Cliffs Update' inches ever closer to release.

What you need to know

  • 1.18 'Caves and Cliffs Update' Part Two is right around the corner, and Mojang Studios is working on finalizing the release.
  • Minecraft: Java Edition 1.18 Pre-Release 2 is now rolling out to testers to further this objective, with new fixes and changes.
  • There aren't any major new features here, and likely won't be between now and release, but there are some solid changes.
  • This snapshot fixes a lot of errors and typos in the credits, and moves Minecraft to a new version of Java.

Minecraft is preparing for the arrival of 1.18 Caves and Cliffs Update Part Two, which will include a huge number of brand-new features and changes for the ongoing survival sandbox. We're now in the final stages of development, with Mojang Studios now releasing Minecraft: Java Edition 1.18 Pre-Release 2 to insiders. This snapshot follows the first Pre-Release, and includes a brand-new batch of fixes for players to test.

There aren't any new features included in this snapshot, as expected, but there are fixes for Minecraft's credits (which previously had several typoes and mistakes), and other tweaks for polish across the board. This snapshot also pulls Minecraft: Java Edition to the version 17 of Java. 1.18 Caves and Cliffs Update Part Two is now only a few weeks away, so expect a few more Pre-Release snapshots before release with new fixes.

Minecraft is already the greatest game ever made, numbered among the best PC games of all time. The upcoming content update promises to cement this even further with tons of new features for players to explore.

The full changelog for Minecraft: Java Edition 1.18 Pre-Release 2 includes:

Technical changes

  • Minecraft now uses Java version 17
    • If you are using a default setup the Launcher will download and install the correct version
