Other editions with a version "1.18.1":
1.18.1 is a minor update to Java Edition, released on December 10, 2021, which makes minor changes related to fog and fixes bugs.[1] It is compatible with 1.18 servers.
Most importantly, this version fixes a zero-day security vulnerability in the Log4j library that could be used to perform a remote code execution exploit. As a result, players were urged to secure their clients and servers.[2] This is the final version released in 2021.
While this wasn’t the last update to 1.18, it was the last before the development versions of 1.19 started.
Changes
General
- World fog now starts farther 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.
Fixes
From released versions before 1.18
- 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.
From 1.18
- MC-242729 – Observer activating without any updates nearby, caused by
/clone. - MC-243216 – Chunk render distance on servers seems shorter than in 1.17.1.
- MC-243253 – Minecraft Realms screen is loading for long time.
- MC-243796 – Random non fatal exceptions in console:
Failed to store chunk ConcurrentModificationException.
Other
- Fixed an issue that would cause players on low-bandwidth connections to get timeout errors when connecting to a server. [3]
- Fixed a critical security issue in which attackers are able to execute code on others' devices (RCE exploit) via in-game messaging or other methods where the game logs a certain exploitable string, due to an upstream vulnerability in log4j2. [4][2][5]
