Planned versions

This page is about planned versions of all editions of Minecraft. These updates either have major sources to their existence or have received development versions.

Note that only editions with known planned updates are listed here; if no known planned updates exist, the edition is left out.

Java Edition

1.21.4

1.21.4, the Winter Drop, is an upcoming update to Java Edition with no set release date, which will add Creaking and Pale Garden.

Combat changes

The combat system is planned to be reworked in a future update, keeping the cooldown but only allowing the player to attack when fully charged. It is not known yet when those changes will be made, as they are developed in parallel to other features and will make it into the game "when they're good enough". The update in which they are included will also not be a combat-themed update. The latest combat test, Combat Test 8c, was released in August 2020.

Winter drop‌

After 1.21.2, the next game drop will be the Winter Drop, with no set release date, which will add Creaking and Pale Garden. All of the Winter drop features are currently behind the Experiments toggle in 1.21.2.

Bedrock Edition

1.21.50

1.21.50, the Winter Drop, is an upcoming update to Bedrock Edition with no set release date, which will add Creaking and Pale Garden.
