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.
- 1.8.9 was the last version to be released during the snapshot process of the next major update until 1.16.5.
- This is the last version to have the Twitch integration services.
- This is also the last version to have the Super Secret Settings option.
- 1.8.9 has the longest wait for a minor update to Java Edition, with 134 days having elapsed since the release of 1.8.8 on July 28, 2015.
