What 1.18 brought
1.18 – Caves & Cliffs: Part II, released on November 30, 2021. The second half of the caves and mountains have transformed the world's generation. The world has grown from -64 to 320 in height, with deep shale lying below zero.
The caves have become huge: large halls, long narrow tunnels, underground lakes and aquifers. The big and Dripstone Caves now appear on their own. The mountains rose higher, with sharp peaks, meadows, and groves.
The rugs have redistributed: diamonds are the most at the bottom, and large iron and copper veins fall into the stone. The settings have a simulation range separate from the pattern range.
1.18.2, Java 17 and mods
Since 1.18, the game and server need Java 17. The latest version of the branch is 1.18.2, released on February 28, 2022.
1.18.2 has a lot of mods and modpacks on Forge and Fabric, and many have remained on it. Only 1.18.2, the same downloader, and the same set of mods, is used by the project itself.
The server on the plagins often runs other clients through ViaVersion and ViaBackwards, where the monitoring indicates a range, such as "1.18-1.21". If the server is updated from the older version, the already open spaces remain the same, and only depths to -64 are built under them. Look for new caves and mountains where no one's ever gone before.
How to select a server and log in
On the server page - online now, chart for the day and week, peak, record and uptime by day for 90 days. Online monitoring measures itself using ping. Version and platform filters will separate the Java servers from Bedrock.
The vanilla 1.18.2 is placed on the official lapcher ("The Installations") or JuxLauncher. Press "Copie Address", open "The Network Game" and insert an address. Details are in the "How to Go" block.
Vote for the server - once a day. He moves the server in the “By Votes” tab, and some servers give a reward for him in the game by nickname.
