Minecraft server versions

Every Minecraft version servers on our list run, newest first, with when it came out and what it changed. Since 2026, Java versions are named by year and drop (26.3 is the third game drop of 2026), while Bedrock counts in tens, so the same number can mean two different releases.

Java Edition

Java 26.4

"Servers" counts servers whose own status report mentions the version, including proxies that accept a range such as 1.8 to 26.3, so one server can count toward several versions.
