The first Minecraft snapshot of 2022 has finally arrived. After the release of the Caves & Cliffs Part II update, Java Edition has barely received any new snapshots since the version 1.

After weeks of testing and refinement, Mojang Studios is finally releasing the 1.18.2 patch update for Minecraft: Java Edition, which includes dozens of fixes and technical updates.

This patch update is the first for Minecraft: Java Edition after the release of 1.18 Caves and Cliffs Update Part Two, the second and final part of the Caves and Cliffs Update.
