Naming

Be that as it may, please note that these versions contain bugs. You ll development, Mojang began to issue pre-release versions, specifically for Beta 1.8 and what then was known as Beta 1.9. As Beta 1.9 came to be redesignated as release version 1.0, candidates subject to release were designated with the prefix "RC#".

The weekly snapshots for release 1.1 and onward are named by using the format YYwWWx. YY is the two-digit year, w simply stands for "week", WW is the two-digit week number within the year, and x is a unique letter identifier ⃢₀ₓ starting with "a", then "b", and so on ⃢₀ₓ for when there is more than one release per week.
