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:


 * The various development phases of Minecraft are represented by sections. For example, you start the Beta section with  .
 * Shorthands for the development phases include: c for Classic, st for Survival Test, in for Indev, inf for Infdev, a for Alpha, b for Beta, r for Official release, u for Upcoming features or pre-releases, and pa for Pocket Edition.


 * 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.
 * By default, the version number will be a link to the appropriate version history page. you can use   to change this. Possible values are:
 *  ver  — link to the version history, i.e. the default behavior.
 * Any URI/URL — external link to this URI/URL.
 *  none  — no link.
 * Use the developmental version number for newly added features to maintain specific change logs. After the upcoming snapshot features have been officially released, move the entries to the official section while maintaining the developmental version numbers.
 * If multiple changes have been made in a single version update, simply list them like so:  . The template currently supports up to 10 changes per version.


 * End the history section with  .
