[[File:Version History - Java.png|thumb|All versions of ''Minecraft:'' {{JE}} as of March 2025.]]


{{JE}} has been in constant development since May 10, 2009, when it was simply named ''Minecraft''. What is now known as [[pre-Classic]] refers to the early unreleased versions of ''Minecraft'' during the week from May 10 to May 16, 2009. The next phase, what was later called [[Java Edition Classic|Classic]], lasted from May 17 to November 10, 2009. [[Indev]], short for "in development", lasted from December 23, 2009, to February 23, 2010. [[Infdev]], short for "infinite development", lasted from February 27 to June 30, 2010. [[Java Edition Alpha|Alpha]] lasted from June 30 to December 3, 2010, and [[Java Edition Beta|Beta]] lasted from December 20, 2010, all the way through to November 11, 2011. The official release of ''Minecraft'' (''Java Edition'') came on November 18, 2011, at [[MINECON 2011]], and further updates have been released ever since, the most recent being {{version|java}}. Starting with [[1.12.2]], the game officially adopted the ''Java Edition'' subtitle, to distinguish it from the {{BE}}.

The full release stage of [[Java Edition|''Minecraft: Java Edition'']]'s development started on November 18, 2011, and has continued until the present day. At this point of development, the game was considered "complete", having both an "[[The End|ending]]" and being ready for ratings and reviews. The game's price also increased from what it was in [[Java Edition Beta|Beta]], but users who previously bought the game were not charged extra.

|}The [[Java Edition Beta|Beta]] development phase started on December 20, 2010 and ended on November 18, 2011. The main goals of this development stage were a larger focus on polishing gameplay, additional content, and stability.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/0/http://notch.tumblr.com/post/2175441966/minecraft-beta-december-20-2010</ref> The game's price also increased from what it was in Alpha, but users who previously bought the game were not charged extra.

|}The [[Java Edition Alpha|Alpha]] development phase started on June 29, 2010, and ended on December 20, 2010. This version also limited the gamemode to Survival, but saw a re-release of multiplayer. At this time, [[Notch]] began developing the game full time, causing much more frequent updates. These were also the first versions which had to be purchased, though the price increased in later stages.

The [[Java Edition Infdev|Infdev]] development phase started on February 27, 2010 and ended on June 30, 2010. During this stage, ''Minecraft'' was only available in single-player [[Survival]] mode and versions were unnumbered under the name '''[[Minecraft Infdev]]'''. At this point, [[Notch]] rewrote the game code to allow mostly "infinite" terrain.

[[Java Edition pre-Classic|Pre-Classic]] was the initial development phase of ''Minecraft'', in which the very basic mechanics and elements of the game were developed, tested and improved over the period of less than a week—from May 10–16, 2009. It was not originally released to the public, but some versions are now playable via the [[launcher]].

|| 1.0.0 || November 18, 2011 || <span id="1.0.0"></span>Fixes & Changes:
* New [[achievements]]
* [[Glowstone]] changed from "stone" to "glass".
* Amount of [[Experience Orb]]s dropped by a player on death now limited.
* The ability of [[Endermen]] to carry blocks reduced in some way.
* Minor changes to some textures (most notables [[Block of Iron]] and [[Monster Spawner]]).
* [[Ghast]] fireballs have a different texture.
* On death, a proper score is given based on how many experience orbs the player has collected.
* When flowing lava hits a water source directly from above, it creates [[Stone]] where previously the lava would flow through the water.
* You can toggle between three states when pressing F5 (first person, third person back, third person front), having the addition of 3rd person view from the front.
* [[Ender Pearl]]s have a unique ability. When thrown, the player will teleport to the Ender Pearl's impact location, but take 2 and 1/2 hearts of fall damage. They will not work in [[Creative]].
* [[Golden Apple]]s now glow purple in inventory.
* Fences no longer block you from moving onto their space. You can now stand next to them, like you can with glass panes and iron bars.
** They will also connect to solid blocks.
* There is a slight delay between jumps when holding down the jump button, so that the player no longer bounces between ceiling and floor in two-block-high spaces.
* Labels for items have a blue border.
* Random loot chests in [[Stronghold]]s.
* [[Blocking]] now moves the player's arm, rather than the [[sword]] just floating right in front of the player.
* Weapon and tool damage has been nerfed to make space for the increased damage enchantments (Diamond swords do 3.5 hearts now instead of 5).
* Most mobs got their health changed. [[Sheep]] now have 4 hearts, [[Ghast]]s 9.5 hearts, [[Zombie]]s 10 hearts and 1 armor point...
* Many blocks mining speeds have been increased. This is mostly blocks that used to take a long time to mine.

All versions of Minecraft: Java Edition as of March 2025.

Java Edition has been in constant development since May 10, 2009, when it was simply named Minecraft. What is now known as pre-Classic refers to the early unreleased versions of Minecraft during the week from May 10 to May 16, 2009. The next phase, what was later called Classic, lasted from May 17 to November 10, 2009. Indev, short for "in development", lasted from December 23, 2009, to February 23, 2010. Infdev, short for "infinite development", lasted from February 27 to June 30, 2010. Alpha lasted from June 30 to December 3, 2010, and Beta lasted from December 20, 2010, all the way through to November 11, 2011. The official release of Minecraft (Java Edition) came on November 18, 2011, at MINECON 2011, and further updates have been released ever since, the most recent being 1.21.4. Starting with 1.12.2, the game officially adopted the Java Edition subtitle, to distinguish it from the Bedrock Edition.

Full release[edit | edit source]

The full release stage of Minecraft: Java Edition's development started on November 18, 2011, and has continued until the present day. At this point of development, the game was considered "complete", having both an "ending" and being ready for ratings and reviews. The game's price also increased from what it was in Beta, but users who previously bought the game were not charged extra.

The Beta development phase started on December 20, 2010 and ended on November 18, 2011. The main goals of this development stage were a larger focus on polishing gameplay, additional content, and stability.[1] The game's price also increased from what it was in Alpha, but users who previously bought the game were not charged extra.

The Alpha development phase started on June 29, 2010, and ended on December 20, 2010. This version also limited the gamemode to Survival, but saw a re-release of multiplayer. At this time, Notch began developing the game full time, causing much more frequent updates. These were also the first versions which had to be purchased, though the price increased in later stages.

The Infdev development phase started on February 27, 2010 and ended on June 30, 2010. During this stage, Minecraft was only available in single-player Survival mode and versions were unnumbered under the name Minecraft Infdev. At this point, Notch rewrote the game code to allow mostly "infinite" terrain.

Pre-Classic was the initial development phase of Minecraft, in which the very basic mechanics and elements of the game were developed, tested and improved over the period of less than a week—from May 10–16, 2009. It was not originally released to the public, but some versions are now playable via the launcher.
