Minecraft 的新版本号命名方式
为了明晰而做的小改动
Minecraft’s new version numbering system
A small change for clarity
最刚开始，我们有 1.0 版本。随之而至的是 1.1 还有 1.2 还有 1.3 还有 1.4 —— 你能看出是怎么回事，对吧？Minecraft 的版本号随着主要更新而递进，直到 2024 年 6 月更新 1.21 “棘巧试炼”（Tricky Trials）。最近一年里发生了很多事，包括我们宣布决定不再每年只更新一次，而是更经常地更新内容，我们叫它小更新（Game Drops）。
In the beginning, there was version 1.0. Then came 1.1, and 1.2, and 1.3, and 1.4 – you can see where I’m going with this can’t you? Minecraft’s version numbers went up incrementally with each major update until we hit 1.21 – the Tricky Trials update – back in June 2024. A lot happened that year, including our announcement that instead of providing one free update during the year, we instead wanted to release content more frequently, called game drops.
这对于版本命名意味着什么？过去一段时间里，这意味着我们停留在 1.21 了。2024 年 12 月，“苍园觉醒”（The Garden Awakens）更新时，基岩版的版本号为 1.21.50, Java 版的版本号为 1.21.4。之后，我们发布了“春意盎然”（Spring to Life），“追逐天空”（Chase the Skies）还有马上发布的“群骑纷争”（Mounts of Mayhem）—— 我们觉得是时候更新 Minecraft 的版本编号方式，以反映我们的新更新策略了。
But what did that mean for our version numbering? For a while, it meant we stuck with 1.21. When The Garden Awakens released in December 2024, it was version 1.21.50 on Bedrock Edition, and version 1.21.4 on Java Edition. And then we released Spring to Life. And Chase the Skies. With Mounts of Mayhem coming soon – we felt it was time to update how we version our Minecraft releases to reflect our new game drops strategy.
版本号提示你正在玩的 Minecraft 具体是哪个版本。Minecraft 在 Java 和基岩版默认会提示你更新至最新版本。
A version number tells you which specific release of Minecraft you are playing. Minecraft prompts you to update to the latest version on both Java and Bedrock Edition by default.
我们在做的改动
The change we’re making
之后，我们会基于年份为版本编号。所以，不论是基岩版还是 Java 版，从 2026 年开始，版本号都会从 26 开始！
Going forwards, we’ll be numbering our versions based on the year. So, for both Bedrock and Java Edition, version numbers in the year 2026 will begin with ‘26’!
当前，基岩版和 Java 版有不同的更新节奏，所以 26 之后的数字会有所不同。对于这一点，有一些原因（例如平台限制，并且基岩版一年中的更新更频繁），不过相同的前缀会让创作者（和玩家们）更轻松地区分更新的内容。
Now, Bedrock and Java have different release cadences, so the numbers that follow “26” will be different. There are a few reasons for this (e.g. platform limitations, and the fact that Bedrock has more frequent releases throughout the year) but the shared prefix will make it easier for creators (and players) to know which release is which.
基岩版和 Java 版的版本编号区别
The difference between version numbering in Bedrock and Java Edition
虽然基岩版和 Java 版会共享同一个版本号（基于年份），但它们依然会根据发版序号略有不同。原因有几个，包括平台限制，还有基岩版与 Java 版更新频率不同。
While Bedrock and Java will share the same version number (based on the year), they will still differ slightly based on the release number. This is due to a few factors, including platform limitations and the different release frequencies on Bedrock and Java.
以下示例基于 2025 年发布的版本。在 2025 年，我们发布了三个小更新（“春意盎然”，“追逐天空”和“铜器时代”），还有即将发布的“群骑纷争”！通过应用新的版本编号到 2025 年发布的小更新，你可以更好明白在哪些地方基岩版和 Java 版是相同的，哪些地方是不同的！这张表格展示了新的版本编号如何工作 —— 使用我们 2025 年发布的版本作为示例
Here’s an example based on 2025. In 2025, we released three game drops (Spring to Life, Chase the Skies, and The Copper Age) and we have one more to come – Mounts of Mayhem! By applying the new version numbering system to 2025 as an example, you can get a better idea of where Bedrock and Java are the same, and where they are different!
This table shows how the change in version number would work – and uses some of our releases from 2025 to illustrate it
| 2025 更新 | 基岩版 | Java 版 |
|---|
| “春意盎然” | 25.10 | 25.1 |
| 补丁和修复 | 25.11 - 25.13 |
| 基岩版更新 | 25.20 | |
| 补丁和修复 | 25.21 - 25.23 |
| “追逐天空” | 25.30 | 25.2 |
| 补丁和修复 | 25.31 - 25.34 | |
| 基岩版更新 | 25.40 |
| 补丁和修复 | 25.41 | |
| “铜器时代” | 25.50 | 25.3 |
| 补丁和修复 | 25.51 - 25.53 |
| 基岩版更新 | 25.60 | |
| 补丁和修复 | 25.61 - 25.63 | |
| “群骑纷争” | 25.70 | 25.4 |
这是一个示例，用于演示新版本编号系统的工作方式，以 2025 年发布的版本为例。
This is an example to show how the new version number system would apply, using our 2025 releases to illustrate this.
基岩版和 Java 版的版本号都会基于年份，随后是更新序号，再后是补丁或修复的序号。从上方示例可以看到这一点。你还可以看到 Java 版将补丁的序号作为单独的数字，而基岩版会在更新序号上递增。
In both Bedrock and Java, the version number will be based on the year – and it will be followed by the release number, and then the patch or hotfix number. You can see this in the example above, and you can also see how Java applies the “patch” number as a separate number, whereas Bedrock counts upwards from the release number itself.
Java 版的快照命名方式也会有一点小变化。之后，快照名字里会包含预期版本，辨识哪些快照对应哪些小更新内容将无比轻松。例如，第一个“群骑纷争”的快照 25w41a 使用新命名方式将是 25.4-snapshot-1。
There will be some small changes to how we name our snapshot versions on Java, too. Moving forwards, we’ll include the intended version in the names, so it’ll be easier than ever to see which snapshot contains features for which drop. E.g., the first snapshot for Mounts of Mayhem was 25w41a but would have been 25.4-snapshot-1 in this new system.
这对玩家来说意味着什么？
What does this mean for players?
这次变更版本编号方式对玩家来说影响不大。不过，我们希望这些变更会让创作伙伴和 mod 作者们更容易理解哪个版本号对应着小更新（Game Drop），哪些版本号对应着补丁和修复。
This change in our version numbering won’t have a huge impact on our players. We are, however, hoping it’ll make it easier for our creator partners and modders to understand which of our version numbers represent a game drop, and which of them represent patches or bug fixes to our drops.
我们也希望这可以让社区更容易讨论尚未命名的小更新！在引入小更新机制之前，我们的社区可以使用下一个版本号讨论未来的更新内容。使用新的版本编号方式后，我们希望你们能够继续这样做！
We also hope it’ll make it easier for our community to talk about our game drops before they have a name! Before we moved to game drops, our community could use the next version number to talk about what was to come. With this new system, we hope you’ll be able to do that again!
你说的这些什么时候会发生？
When it this happening?
我们会从明年年初为所有的更新使用这套版本号，并且从这周开始发布的预览版里，你就可以看到这些变化！
We will be using this new version numbering system for all of our releases starting next year – and you will see it in previews for those versions starting this week!
