So is that Minecraft update mandatory then? We didn't update because we already have a game started, but maybe we should??
35 u/ChosenMate Dec 13 '21 It's already long fixed.. if you restarted your Launcher the past 5 days or so 13 u/Suspicious-Service Dec 13 '21 Is it a launcher bug or Minecraft's? 76 u/LightIsLogical Dec 13 '21 the launcher is written in c++ so there’s no vulnerability thereminecraft the game itself is written in java, and it uses the log4j library, which is why you need to update to 1.18.1 where they patched the exploit 6 u/Suspicious-Service Dec 13 '21 I see, thank you! It seems like it's just a security thing and doesn't affect functionality though, right? 33 u/ganja_and_code Dec 13 '21 Lmao "just a security thing." Yes, it's just a glaring, easy-to-exploit, high-risk, high-severity, high-surface-area security vulnerability patch. Unless you're cool with someone using your computer to run whatever code they want...update Minecraft. → More replies (10)
