Trivia

 * This is the first non-snapshot Java Edition version to have more than 3 digits on the version number since Beta 1.7_01 in June 2011.
 * With this revision, 1.7 became the first Java Edition version to roll from single-digit to double-digit revision numbers since Alpha v1.0.10 four years prior.
 * Despite being extremely outdated, this version has a disproportionately large amount of mods available, along with 1.12.2.
 * The addition of models and block states internal changes in the game engine in 1.8 and the long waiting time for 1.9 has contributed to this situation.
