Minecraft’s new version numbering system

Starting in 2026, both Bedrock and Java Edition will adopt a version numbering system that begins with '26'. While both editions will share the initial digits, the subsequent numbers will differ due to platform limitations and varying release schedules. For example, in 2025, three significant game updates were released: Spring to Life, Chase the Skies, and The Copper Age, with one more, Mounts of Mayhem, on the way.

Minecraft is changing how it handles update version numbers — but what does that mean for us players?

Since the Tricky Trials update in June 2024, Minecraft has been at version 1.21, as Mojang Studios shifted to more frequent, smaller updates instead of large annual releases. Mojang is revamping its version numbering system to better reflect this new update cadence, with the latest game drop titled "The Copper Age" designated as version 1.21.9 for Java Edition and 1.21.110 for Bedrock Edition. The first snapshot for the upcoming Mounts of Mayhem update will be labeled as 25.4-snapshot-1. The familiar "Minecraft 1.x.x" format will be retired, with the Mounts of Mayhem update scheduled for release on December 9 and the first update of the new year recognized as Minecraft 26.1. Mojang has also pledged to eliminate code obfuscation from Minecraft: Java Edition to enhance the modding experience.
