We’re now releasing Minecraft: Java Edition 1.18.1. This release fixes a critical security issue for multiplayer servers, changes how the world fog works to make more of the world visible, and fixes a couple of other bugs.
If you are running a multiplayer server, we highly encourage you to upgrade to this version as soon as possible.
Enjoy!
TECHNICAL CHANGES IN 1.18.1
- Fixed an issue that would cause players on low-bandwidth connections to get timeout errors when connecting to a server
- World fog now starts further away from the player, to make distant terrain more visible
- Instead of applying fog as a spherical volume it is now applied as a cylindrical volume

- MC-152198 - Actual render distance is 2 chunks lower than render distance setting
- MC-219507 - Beacon’s power reverts back to previous one on world reload
