With its release date approaching, Minecraft developers have sped up developments for the upcoming bug-fix update for Java Edition. The version 1.18.2 update will address several bugs and issues since the highly anticipated Caves & Cliffs update release.

Mojang has released many new snapshots for the 1.18.2 update in the past several weeks. The snapshot stage has now ended as developers have started releasing preview versions.

Today, Mojang announced the third pre-release for the 1.18.2 update. Like the previous two pre-releases, it also features nothing but new bug fixes.
