The history section only shows a handful of versions. Then, for some reason, the changes for a much larger number of updates is listed in a table underneath instead of the history section. That other table has changes listed almost entirely as "unknown". For whatever reason, I have not received any automatic updates since Minecraft Launcher 1.6.73. Looking at the pictures at the top of the page for 2.0.847, the GUI is unrecognizable. Shouldn't the history section of the launcher use similar formatting to the history section of everything else on this wiki? And can we please update the history section to specify at least visual changes and note that additional details are welcome?
p.s. I have no idea why the picture of the old launcher I embedded is on the right instead of under this section. Could someone please fix that for me?
Every other page on the wiki has a history section that increments with versions of the game -- this was the of the launcher as well, up until the 1.6 launcher. Then it got the ability to release independently of the Minecraft version. That's why the two different sections.
To roll those entries into the normal, standard looking history section, we'd have to update the {{history}} template to work with launcher versions. And this just hasn't been done yet. Yes, it would look better.
As for asking for additional details on old versions, I'm not sure anyone is in a position to actually supply those details, so I doubt that making an explicit ask would be fruitful.
Having watched the development of the launcher, it seems like the list has been pretty comprehensive. Some updates made no visual change that anyone was able to tell, and this is understandable because sometimes there are just bug fixes and things like that under the hood. But yeah, having all those 'unknowns' is unsatisfying. – Sealbudsmantalk/contr01:56, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

I think the name "Java Edition Launcher" or simply "launcher" would better suit the article. The "Minecraft" bit is redundant, considering this entire wiki is about Minecraft. Thoughts? --HaydenBobMutthewTalk13:55, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

I propose a "launcher version history" page and to also split the individual versions into their own pages, as the content is becoming large and they now have beta versions. I already split Minecraft Launcher 2.1.2474 and nobody seemed to mind (or notice). Should the rest be split? – Nixinova👁 Image 👁 Image 06:20, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
👁 Image Support "Minecraft Launcher". Note: It needs to say "Minecraft Launcher" and not "launcher" as we wouldn't title the minecraft website page as "website", but "Minecraft website". Delvin4519 (talk) 15:34, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
Do we know this, or are you guessing? It's not uncommon for companies to advertise their new games in launchers for this old ones. Is the Minecraft Dungeons tab not just going to be a link to buy the new game? –Majr ᐸ Talk Contribs12:29, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
The Launcher app is currently a starting point for playing Minecraft: Java Edition, but we envision a future where it will become so much more! It’ll be the home for our future games within the Minecraft universe, and therefore we’ve started the journey of rethinking how the Launcher will work and look.

“our future games within the Minecraft universe” is a link to the Minecraft Dungeons announcement. -BDJP(t|c)12:53, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
👁 Image Support "Minecraft Launcher" as that is the name of the program. As said elsewhere, it will contain Dungeons but that is still a Minecraft game, unlike some other games by Mojang. --Robotkoer (talk) 17:18, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
New Minecraft Launcher Background (Nether Update Official Artwork) and Mojang and Microsoft Accounts supported. Image should be added. --Universespy (talk) 09:07, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

I think the future versions of Minecraft Launcher will have some backwards compatibility while launching older full releases. This is a mentioned feature, not a feature requests.

I'm noticing that there isn't a whole lot of images that are just screenshots, Doesn't have the Java Edition installion icons, the old logo that can after the old old logo, a lot of backgrounds, etcetera. Should a more images tag be added? 👁 Image FireDragons5211:30, 27 April 2026 (UTC)
