Minecraft’s philosophy revolves around remaining platform agnostic, and perpetually improving with endless updates and patches. On Wednesday, Mojang Studios encompassed both of these mantras by releasing the 1.18.12 hotfix update to all platforms Minecraft: Bedrock Edition is available on. The most recent public Minecraft release includes a handful of fixes that build on top of an earlier Minecraft build.
Minecraft: Bedrock Edition 1.18.10released last week with well over 100 fixes and improvements, a colossal update that built on top of theCaves and Cliffs Update. However, the release also inadvertently introduced some brand-new issues, which Mojang Studios has been working tirelessly to resolve. Today’s 1.18.12 hotfix deals with many of these freshly introduced problems.
