Download site

The download site may have changed. The normal URLs do not seem to work

Not posting URLs - can't post due to not able to log in.

Anyone know where to download the files now? I would definitely like to get a-hold of the server client. I'm hoping this is just a mess up on Mojang and not that they are changing sites again. 70.100.103.14 03:55, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

The s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download links have been deprecated for a while now, and are now officially unsupported. You should use the version manifest instead. The launcher should contain a link to download the server. ‎Skylord wars is working on updating the links on the wiki, which probably should have happened a while back (it's something I meant to do for at least a year but never got around to). I've added the links to this article now though. --Pokechu22 (talk) 04:02, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

 Info For reference the server jar for this snapshot is here[1]. The manifest seems to place the jars at launcher.mojang.com/mc/game/(version / snapshot)/(client / server)/(jar sha1 here)/(client/server).jar jjlr (talk) 04:12, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

Mojang deprecated the old site a few days ago. The old links will be removed from Amazon's file service by the end of the year. We must quickly move all of the links to the new one. Though the new format now contains a code, to encrypt it. Skylord wars (talk) 04:44, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
skylord wars So should each page contain a direct link for the download? jjlr (talk) 05:08, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
They've added several new fields to {{Version nav}} that are used to construct the download link; the use of it there should be updated for those as per the version manifest. I feel like it's worth noting that it's not encrypted, just a hash (like with assets).
The one thing I'm not fully sure about is I don't particularly like the names for the fields (jar, json, and servercode). I think json (or maybe jsonid), clienthash (or maybe sha), and serverhash would probably be better; I don't like jar because it's ambiguous (both the client and server are JAR files) and servercode seems like a weird name. This is probably something to figure out before changing all the articles, since editing them a second time would be a giant pain. --Pokechu22 (talk) 05:14, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
Go ahead and change it. This download link change should be done by the end of the year. Skylord wars (talk) 05:21, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

Worlds from previous snapshots

In changes it states "Due to changes in world generation, worlds from previous snapshots will no longer work", and while that is true today it seems to have been a bug that will be fixed tomorrow[2], so it should probably be reworded so people don't mistake it for meaning pre-18w19a worlds will be unusable in 1.13. jjlr (talk) 05:17, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
