We’re now releasing the first (and hopefully only) release candidate for Minecraft 1.18.2. This release candidate fixes two world generation bugs that could cause a server to stop running. If there are no major issues following this release, no further changes will be done before the full release, which is planned for February 28th.
​
Happy mining!

Fixed bugs in 1.18.2 Release Candidate 1

• MC-244682 - Some custom dimensions settings can cause the server to stop running, but not crash
• MC-248764 - Some worldgen datapacks can kill the internal server (possibly related to density functions)
