Mojang Studios is back again with new tests forMinecraftand the upcoming 1.18Caves and Cliffs UpdatePart Two.Minecraft: Java Edition 1.18 Experimental Snapshot 7is now available for testing, and continues to tweak the sweeping world generation changes arriving later this year. However, this Experimental Snapshot is considerably smaller than, say, its predecessor,1.18 Experimental Snapshot 6, as Mojang is now pivoting to a new goal.
This is likely the last Experimental Snapshot we’ll see, at least for a while, as Mojang is working on porting all of the new features and additions they’ve been testing to regular snapshots and betas for all versions of Minecraft. That means more players will be able to test all the alterations soon, and it means that we’re inching closer to a full release for 1.18 Caves and Cliffs Update Part Two. Hopefully, we’ll learn more about how Mojang intends to tackle the end of development for this colossal update soon.
Minecraft is one of the greatest games ever made, and the Java Edition certainly earns its designation as one of thebest PC games. This is further proven by the extensive list ofbest Minecraft toys and gifts, which includes something for everyone.
