Template:History/doc

This template is used for creating the new history sections. It is currently a work in progress.

To create a History section, you need to use this template multiple times:


 * You start a history section of an article with  .
 * The various development phases of Minecraft are represented by sections. For example, you start the Beta section with  .
 * Shorthands for the development phases are: c for Classic, s for Survival Test, i for Indev, f for Infdev, a for Alpha, b for Beta, r for Official release, and u for Upcoming features or pre-releases.


 * A single version can be represented like so:  .
 * Do not specify the development stage here (e.g. use 1.2, not Beta 1.2). The development stage is already in the section header.
 * Do not use a pre-release version number when the real thing has been released. For example, if a feature has been added in a Beta 1.9 pre-release, use Minecraft 1.0.0 as the version number.
 * If multiple changes have been made in a single version update, simply list them like so:  . The template currently supports up to 8 changes per version.


 * Finally, you finish the history section with  .
