Trivia

 * Despite this version having fewer features and being unsupported (like Java Edition 1.7.10), it is still popular among minigame players and plugin servers, due to a common dislike of 1.9 features such as the Combat Update's changes to PvP, and also the instability on newer versions.
 * This was the last release to be compatible with a previous server version, until 1.16.5.
 * This version was released on the same day as 15w50a.
