Revision as of 19:30, 5 September 2013

This is not an official version history or changelog. For the official list, please visit Release Changelogs – Minecraft Feedback.
For the development versions, please visit Snapshot Information and Changelogs – Minecraft Feedback.
For versions 1.12.2 and prior, please visit the Minecraft Official Site.
For versions 1.11 and prior, please check an archived version of the Mojang website.
For versions prior to Beta 1.8, please check an archived version of Notch's blog, The Word of Notch.
This article is about publicly-released development versions for the PC. For the stable versions' history, see Version history.

Starting in the period between Beta 1.7.3 and Beta 1.8, Mojang began to publicly release testing versions of full updates in order to get major feedback, especially for bug reporting. This enabled the official updates to be considerably more stable. While these versions are public, they are not auto-installed by the game and are completely optional.

For instructions on how to install a snapshot, read this tutorial. A (?) denotes version's info here is guess-work, possibly incorrect.

Note: This is not a page for reporting bugs; they should be posted on the official bug tracker instead. For more information see the Issues page.

Snapshots & Pre-releases

In Beta, these versions went under the tag of "Pre-Release", candidates subject to release for 1.0 as "RC#".

The weekly snapshots post-1.0.0 are named by using the format YYwWWx. YY is the two-digit year, w simply stands for "week", WW is the two-digit week number within the year, and x is a unique identifier – starting with "a" – for when there is more than one release per week. The new launcher will only download that week's versions development set of snapshots all older snapshots will be stored locally.[1]

In Snapshot 13w19a through 1.6 Pre-release, Erik Broes (_Grum) appeared in every snapshot 'cover picture' on mojang.com.

Beta 1.9 Pre-releases

Considered the "Lost Update",[254] a full version under the name "Beta 1.9" never came. Instead, Mojang opted to delay the release of this update until MineCon 2011 and release it under the name "Minecraft 1.0.0". This decision was made after a few development versions tagged as Beta 1.9 were already sent out, so the name Beta 1.9 was kept for all of the development versions in the gap between Beta 1.8.1 and Minecraft 1.0.0, other than the Release Candidates.
