Java Edition 1.18 experimental snapshot 7

1.18 experimental snapshot 7 is the seventh experimental snapshot for Java Edition 1.18, released on September 8, 2021, which introduces changes to terrain generation and tweaks to elytra gliding due to various server chunk loading issues.

Items

 * Elytras
 * No longer take durability damage when gliding, only when using rockets.
 * Decreased the firework rocket boost on an elytra from 30 blocks/sec to 26 blocks/sec.
 * This change was implemented to nerf the elytra as well as decreasing server lag.
 * Note, the speed of gliding (without a boost) is unchanged.

World generation

 * Caves
 * Noodle caves are no longer capped at y=130, allowing cave openings and cracks in mountain peaks.


 * General
 * Slightly smoothened the terrain (by lowering the noise).
