Revision as of 16:19, 19 February 2022 by Humiebee(talk | contribs)(update, also remove all the previous ones to check for launcher compatability and date changes. One major version a day (hopefully), possibly 1 every 2 days for larger updates like 1.16, 1.14, 1.13, 1.9, 1.8, and 1.7. 1.18 is also large so it will take 2 days as well. (snapshots for tomorrow))
Although this is Humiebee's user page, other users are encouraged to edit it and its subpages.
This is a list of all the Java Edition major releases, minor releases, pre-releases, snapshots, and combat tests. Unconfirmed versions are not included. Unreleased versions are included. Private versions are only included if they have any images or screenshots (like previews for Alpha 1.2.0, Beta 1.6, Beta 1.7, and Beta 1.8). Re-uploads are only included if they have more accessibility than the original version, if so, the original version is excluded. Pre-Classic, Classic, Indev, Infdev, Alpha, and Beta versions are included.
