Minecraft 1.18 is released, play the update now!

The 2nd part of the Cave & Cliffs update, Minecraft 1.18, was released today, and we've already pushed the update to our Minecraft servers, of course! For now, Minecraft 1.18 is only available for Vanilla, Spigot and Bedrock. From experience, it can take a few days to weeks for the latest version of Minecraft to be pushed to Forge and other mods for Minecraft as well. As soon as the latest version is available, we will of course upload it to our servers. Important changes in 1.18.0 are:

  • World height and depth has been increased
  • New cave generation
  • caves and mountain biomes
  • Improved biomes, caves and ore generation
  • new music tracks
  • over 70 bug fixes

If you have a Minecraft server other than Vanilla or Bedrock, you can always install an additional Minecraft server on your server for free thanks to our game switching feature and thus already test out the new update. You can find instructions here: https://zap-hosting.com/guides/docs/en/gameserver_gameswitch/ if you prefer to rent a new server, you can save 50% on the 1st payment of your next Minecraft Vanilla, Spigot or Bedrock server with the code "minecraft-118-50". Here you can find our Vanilla, Spigot and Bedrock servers: Minecraft server hosting Minecraft Bedrock server hosting Minecraft Spigot server hosting
