Talk:Java Edition version history

This page was moved, but the redirects that link to the subpages were not, so now there are 150 items in Special:DoubleRedirects. Could someone create a double-redirect-fixer bot? Majr? – Nixinova 👁 Image

Hold on. Since Classic pages now have their own page, we should redirect these pages to their own pages. It will take some time by the way.--Skylord wars (talk) 08:12, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

In the launcher, versions such as 1.4.3-pre are labelled as just "snapshot 1.4.3", and ingame it just says "Minecraft 1.4.3". Even the jar files on the article only say 1.4.3. This is the same for 1.6-pre and others. Should these pages have "pre" in their name? If so, should the lead sections remove the pre? This is a bit confusing. – Nixinova 👁 Image

The obsolete Minecraft versions are the Minecraft versions discontinued more than ten years ago (as roughly). The Minecraft versions older than the release can be defunct, and defunctions are terminated at Alpha. --183.88.158.244 04:23, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

Those sentences don't make any sense and there are no versions of MC older than a decade (yet). What are you talking about when you say "obselete" and "defunct"? – Nixinova 👁 Image

Some older versions of the game no longer work on the latest version of Windows 10; specifically, most Classic, Indev, and Infdev versions cause crashes. Maybe that's what they were trying to refer to? - Luke18033 (talk) 02:30, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

Wouldn't it be better to use ymd in these small tables? they easily sort and it's just easier to see the release dates, as ymd gives the order of importance. – Nixinova 👁 Image

But we don't need to sort here, and the used format is the default of the wiki. I think it's fine right now. – Jack McKalling [ 👁 Image

After again thinking this and coming back to this talk page, YMD would be preferable as you can immediately see the one different between versions, eg 1.13.2 came out 2 months after 1.13.1 etc. – Nixinova 👁 Image

03:41, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

Now with it listing both dev and full releases having YMD would be easier to do quick math comparisons (eg comparing 20181024 and 20190423 is much easier than comparing 24oct2018 and 23apr2019). – Nixinova 👁 Image

For some reason I can't tell the difference between the background colours of "Unavailable in the launcher, but archived elsewhere" and "No direct evidence/proof exists". Both are grey to me, and although one is probably a bit darker when used in the table, I cannot see this difference in the legend because it is so small. This applies to both the main Classic legend as well as the Pre-Classic one. – Jack McKalling [ 👁 Image

Should we add addition summaries back? I looked at the history of the page, and I have found out that prior to September 2013, every update of Minecraft had addition summaries next to the version name, release date. It would write what was added in the corresponding update, bug fixes and more. Why don't we just add it back? To not make the page abnormally long, we should simply cut out the bug fix part. I don't mind if it shouldn't be added back. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.127.30.21 (talk) at 16:42, 25 October 2019 (UTC). Please sign your posts with ~~~~

As requested in this page, I have made a chart displaying all java versions throughout the years. See here File:Version History Java.png. Please share your thoughts about it, does it contain any error? Or do you have any suggestions on how it may be improved? Write your feedback here as comments, or in my talk page. I won't put it in the main page for now, but when some of you have agreed to do so, please do. Luotiansha (talk)

Why don't we add version labels as the launcher name itself like (also known as a1.0.4 in the launcher)

It seems that all versions before 1.0 are unavailable on the new launcher. I don't know if it's just a problem on my end, but they definitely were there before. If this is universally the case, then the availability color codes should be changed (I am incapable of doing that). AstrumViridis (talk) 17:45, 12 June 2023 (UTC)

Nevermind. The new launcher just unchecks this box by default.

I wonder if Minecraft 1.22 will be revealed and releases? In Minecraft Fanon Wiki, 1.22 consists of several major updates and release dates with new features, so it might be fake. Proely (talk) 22:31, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

I recently merged Java Edition/Version history with this article and added the additions tables that were in the previous article, just to actually merge the articles (most of the other content was overlap). I was worried the additions tables might clutter the page, and I see my merge edit on this page has been reverted. I'm fine with that, I don't feel strongly about it one way or another. But if the regular editors of this page and the other would like a compromise, you could hide the additions tables behind a {{collapse}}. For example:

1.0

Update	Version	Development release	Full release
Adventure Update (Part 2) (Guide)	1.0.1 (Server only)	–	November 24, 2011
	1.0.0	September 22, 2011	November 18, 2011

@Rampage455 Oh, your merge has been reverted by me. This idea is also good if we want to see things added quickly. But by 1.21, there are 3 updates in 3 different minor versions (1.21, 1.21.2, 1.21.4), so how to deal with that? 👁 Image

@Miner Your solution is also worth considering. However, the gap between versions is inconvenient for readers. 1.21 is an example

So hiding it is a better way.

In my opinion, each version (1.21.x, 1.20.x...) only needs 1 table instead of 3 as in 1.21, 1.21.2, 1.21.4. Will it be possible? 👁 Image

How to format the additions table for recent versions might be a little tricky. For beta and before, I assumed that the tables were included as a historical reference; that is, even though there were many versions of beta, alpha, etc., you could see a quick summary of major additions to the game. I'm not sure why they stopped being included for the full releases. All full releases before 1.20 could probably use a single table. For 1.20 and 1.21, it appears that Mojang broke with tradition and gave thematically different updates the same number (I'm not sure why Tricky Trials and The Garden Awakens are both part of 1.21 when they don't seem to have much in common). For each of the named drops, it might be worth having a table for each since they are so different and can have many items (Tricky Trials for example). And of course, this topic only matters if you actually want to add more additions tables. I was going to leave that decision to the regular editors of the page. I think I like having the tables, and in collapsed form to reduce clutter. I only originally added them as part of a merge and wasn't planning on adding more unless somebody requested.

I did some digging in the Revision history and the block "Waxed Oxidized Copper" was removed from the "Block and item additions guide" show button that brings up a chest with the items/blocks added to that version on the main page (under 1.17) on 15:35, 10 January 2025‎ by someone named "Hung1234". What is the reason for this? I'm pretty sure the block is still in the game as is mentioned on the copper page. I specifically made an account to comment this. I would fix this myself but I have no idea how to edit this wiki.

I know this block was on this version history page because literally the edit before that one was 17:15, 9 January 2025‎ by someone named "Nesekf" and the block was visible. Going back further, the block was still there. ThrowawayAccount47474474 (talk) 02:57, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Basiclly, i saw something, on the page java edition classic 0.0.19a_01 i saw a image, meaning that it should be "Not archived. Video/image proof exists." instead of Not archived. Existence implied from other means." also the other "Not archived. Existence implied from other means." is not supoosed to be that because i went into these pages and they have irs Logs on the references part, so it should be "Not archived. IRC chat log proof exists." if no response or this topic is deleted, im going to do it myself. Douglas15amor (talk) 19:51, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

This page is a summary of versions, not the content within, so I don't see how they are useful here at all. People have gone overboard adding these to pages, I feel.  Nixinova  T ⁄ C  04:21, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

I feel like they clutter the page (especially on mobile, making the page way longer than needed), which is probably why theyre default collapsed. I'd say they should just be removed because 1) theyre already hidden, so basically an "outta sight, outta mind" type of thing, where theyre useless as they are now, but they definitely shouldnt be uncollapsed, 2) they arent even being used correctly! Some of them only have 1-3 items, which is, iirc, too few to use the template, and 3) the only info they add, is already on the specific release's page, therefore its redundant to be on an overview type page. I feel like that template needs a nice set of rules on when and where it should be used, but that isnt a discussion for here. 👁 Image
