Planned versions

This page is about planned versions of all editions of Minecraft. These updates either have major sources to their existence or have received development versions.

Note that only editions with known planned updates are listed here - if no known planned updates exist the edition is left out.

1.13
1.13 is an upcoming major update with no set release date. It will focus mainly on bug fixes, technical features, and optimisation.

1.14
1.14 is an upcoming major update planned to be released in Q2 2018, and after the release of 1.13. Unlike the technical update of 1.13, 1.14 will focus on new features once again.

This version will be the Java Edition's implementation of the Update Aquatic, which will focus on water and ocean-related content, as Jens Bergensten revealed in the MineCon Earth livestream on November 18, 2017. Shown in a short clip are underwater plants, coral blocks and fish mobs. Other additions will be the winning MineCon mob, Mob B; tridents; dolphins; shipwrecks; and icebergs.

1.2.6
