1.6.5

Simpler code
This code is much simpler and less repetitive:

This code should be easier to maintain, and it also allows any values to be used for "p", "c", "s", and "t" (not really as important, but I've got a thing about only allowing binary parameters to have one possible value) as well as allowing for proper functioning if any of these parameters are defined but empty (which causes any parameter defaults to be ignored). If necessary, I can slap this code on a sandbox subpage and then slap together a testcases subpage to demonstrate that it really does work correctly. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 21:50, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Feature Request: "softer" match for recent builds / green backgrounds
The templates used on third-party apps pages recently switched to using the template as part of a "latest compatible release" column. It'd be really nice to have a "softer" match for green backgrounds... A utility that works on v1.2 is highly likely to also work on 1.2.3. The way the template is set up currently, though, if an app just stays on it'll end up with a red background. Thanks! -- Xolotl 07:08, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

So, the point is that it should be added to the latest Weekly release. TorchicBlaziken

Access to a copy of the code
Hi :) I'm working on the French Wiki, and I wanted to modify the Version template using the "English" code. However, I can't seem to be able to copy/paste it, even though I should be. In fact, I can't access the box in which the code is, so it would be great if anyone could simply put the code here so that I can copy/paste it back to the French Wiki. Thanks :) Anom 22:47, 25 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Just press the view source tab. –ultradude25 (T&#124;C) at 23:02, 25 July 2012 (UTC)


 * I know that :P when I do it, it opens a page with the code in a box, and it looks exactly like a regular editable section. However, due to the fact that the code is protected and also surely because I'm on an iPod, I can't access the box, when I "click" on it, it simply doesn't do anything. Therefore, as I can't access the code, I have to ask you to please help me and do it for me, it would be really great, even though you perhaps consider this as a waste of time :S Anom 23:19, 25 July 2012 (UTC)


 * The edit box should still be highlightable... Probably a bug with the browser used there.

 * Thanks a lot! :) And I can't interact at all with the box, the only way to highlight it is to highlight the full page, and when copy/pasting this, only the box appears, not its content... Thanks again, and sorry for the loss of time :s Anom 00:05, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition 1.2 Update (1.8.2 Beta)
There was recently a new update implemented into the Xbox 360 Edition. I sought the main page has not yet updated the current update from 1.1.1 to 1.2 as of October 16, 2012. This is just a very small reminder to you admins. Thanks!-- HMarrowIV {Talk} 22:06, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Another reminder that the Xbox version needs updated. Someone already tried to remove the version template on a page just to update the version number.  00:03, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Addition: Oops, I fell into the same trap. "1.8.2" is the name/pc equivalent. 1.2 is the actual version. Nevermind.  00:06, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

Remove latest snapshot for Pocket Edition
Can someone set the snapshot for the pocket edition to blank so it stops showing on the main page? Since that update is out now. --<font color=#048>KnightMiner  (t 17:46, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

Launcher Versions
This is a proposed change for the main page, but I think that the current version of the standalone launcher client should be added with the current versions.

GunslingerN7, Technology and Gaming Freelancer (Talk) 00:48, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Launcher version additions
First, during the launcher version addition, classic server was listed as  instead of. Second, the launcher needs to link to the history section of Minecraft launcher, instead of the main version history.

--<font color=#048>KnightMiner  (t 14:47, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Update launcher version
The launcher is now version 1.4.5

Also, would it be better to have some sort of version update message board to separate it from the discussions about the actual template?

PS4 and Xbox One Edition
The Xbox One and PlayStation 4 editions were just released. I have a suggestion: do what you did with the Game and Launcher versions. For example, you could put the Xbox One and Xbox 360 versions under one icon and the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 versions under another. Just a thought!

Thanks, GunslingerN7, Technology and Gaming Freelancer (Talk) 09:53, 7 September 2014 (UTC).

Realms Versioning
I think it would be prudent to incorporate Minecraft Realms versions into this template. It would certainly make things more uniform, and considering I'm OCD, that would be perfect. -  - 18:38, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

The Windows Phone version came out today. Please add it. Thanks! FrustratedAssassin (talk) 17:25, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

Red links
Hello! This template now creates many red links because it now seems to use prefixes from Module:Version/Numbers, especially for pocket and console editions as you can see in the documentation and on the main page. I think this bug came with the MediaWiki update a few hours ago, so I do not really understand what happened. Thanks! • ObelusPA2 d · <i style="font-size: 0.9em; letter-spacing: -1px">FR Admin</i> · 00:49, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I saw this issue as well, but I don't think it's the MediaWiki upgrade. An admin must have made changes to the template that came with unintended results. Hopefully, this will be fixed. User:GunslingerN7 (Talk, Contribs) 04:36, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I think it is because of the upgrade. Anyways, I reported it to Gamepedia :) <font face="'Open Sans',sans-serif">– Dentedharp90041tc 06:04, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Some changes & additions that should be made
SuperGeniusZeb (talk) 01:38, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
 * "Pocket Edition" should be changed to "Bedrock Edition".
 * Windows 10 Mobile should be added to the list as it is technically a separate game from buying it for Windows 10 (not-Mobile). It is technically NOT the same as the Windows Phone 8 version, which was discontinued.
 * Xbox One needs to be added under "Bedrock Edition". There are already beta builds on that platform for Bedrock Minecraft.
 * Nintendo Switch will also need to be added under "Bedrock Edition" when Bedrock is released on that platform.
 * Windows 10 has beta versions now via the Xbox Insider Hub since the start of the 1.2 Better Together Update beta.
 * Xbox One also has beta versions now via the same means as Windows 10.
 * Windows 10 Mobile may also have beta versions, but I cannot confirm this. If anyone could check, that would be great.
 * New Nintendo 3DS Edition should be added. Make it a separate Platform from Bedrock Edition, as it is a fork of that version that is being developed separately by Other Ocean.
 * Perhaps Education Edition should be added. It should probably also be listed separately from Bedrock Edition. While it IS continually being developed from the same core as Bedrock Edition (unlike New Nintendo 3DS Edition, which appears to be going off in its own direction entirely and not sharing the same core code), it does have various exclusive education-related features added and other things disabled/removed like Realms, the Marketplace, and etc.
 * The versions listed under "Java Edition" might not make sense anymore, as they are still using the now-outdated "Computer" terminology that doesn't make sense with the existence of Bedrock Minecraft on Windows 10 and even Education Edition on Windows 10 and macOS, not to mention the fact that technically phones & tablets are just as much of a computer as a laptop.
 * Why is the "Beta" in "Android Beta" capitalized?

Xbox One Edition needs a separate version number from Bedrock for Xbox One
Right now there is only one template for Xbox One version numbers. Since Xbox One Edition is now receiving updates again, there needs to be 2 separate versions for Xbox One: one for Xbox One Edition and one for Bedrock Edition on Xbox One. SuperGeniusZeb (T▪C) 15:47, 20 December 2017 (UTC)


 * I already added a separate version number for it to Module:Version/Numbers, with the tag . Does something more need to be done? 「 ディノ 奴  千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 15:49, 20 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Ah, okay. I didn't see it in the documentation for Template:Version. The documentation has been updated to use the Xbox One Edition version number, and I've updated the editcopy of the main page of the wiki to show the latest version of Xbox One Edition again.

Replace with simpler template
Why is this so complicated? I've created version/alternative which just uses to change  so is there any reason we are using a complicated module? – Nixinova   07:20, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Requests:
 * Replace this with version/alternative
 * Delete the module
 * Get a bot to remove from all instances and replace "pc" with "java" and "weekly" with "java-snap"
 * Lower protection to semi
 * – Nixinova Nixinova sig image 1.png Nixinova sig image 2.png 07:27, 26 January 2019 (UTC)


 * While the new template does look better for me, I don't understand why do we need to merge retrieving version numbers and creating a link to the corresponding wiki page. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 19:12, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Since nobody really seems to care I've been phasing this template out in favour of v2 for regular pages and FPv for the main page. – Nixinova Nixinova sig image 1.png Nixinova sig image 2.png 02:26, 8 February 2019 (UTC)


 * This template was already replaced with version/FP on the front page and there hasn't been any opposition to replacing this with so far, so I'll probably go ahead and change all of the remaining usages of this template to use  and move this template to . That way we could move version/alternative under this template name. – Sonicwave  talk  20:24, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

Bedrock Edition versions broke (for 1.9, at least)
I'm not sure when this happened, but before 1.9 was released, there was 1.8 and Server software listed here that was capable of running Minecraft Bedrock 1.8 (and listed as running BE 1.8) had their "Bedrock Edition version" column marked as green; but now with BE 1.9 out, there was a possible error made that 1.9 isn't correctly marked as 1.9.0, therefore having incorrectly marked as red, despite both meaning the same version. Also cause of that, a temporary wiki-code "hack" was made to bypass the incorrect marking and mark it correctly as green while being shown as "1.9". —Whatausername64 (talk) 14:41, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
