What happened to the Minecraft Update feed?
Posted On: September 26, 2023

In the launcher, prior to version 1.8, Minecraft used to have a log of the updates that were implemented in each version.


But now, the only thing I have seen since Microsoft bought Minecraft is a promotional cape notice. And since then rabbits, Sponges, new enchantments and new enchantment features have been added, and even a new boss, but no mention of it in the launcher?


Does anyone know if there is something I'm missing, or if it's to do with Microsoft's take over?


What I'm looking for is a list of all the new features that have been added in each update. The Minecraft Update Tumblr only shows what shows in the launcher, which is not what I'm looking for. Eg, the latest update news in that is.


We have released Minecraft version 1.8.4 to fix some security issues. Updating is highly recommended from older versions, and is 100% compatible with all 1.8 versions.


This tells me nothing about anything that was added to the game.


So to clarify, my question is this: Where can I find a detailed list of all the new fixes/new features/"Removed Herobrine" logs for each update? (If there even is one).


Question from user Ben at stackexchange.


Answer:

The update notes you are looking for are not usually present on the tumblr, as you noted. There are two places, however, where you can find the information you seek.


Official Mojang blog.


They can, however be found in the official Mojang blog on their main site. The older posts can be hard to find though, but should be able to find them with some googling, I suggest searching for.


site:mojang -site:bugs.mojang minecraft [version].


to limit the results to actual results. Note that these posts are often updated, even changing the title in some cases, such as the one for 1.8.2.


Sadly, the information about bugfixes is often scattered among multiple posts for pre-releases as well as the main post, making them hard to follow. They also seem to be incomplete.


The wiki's version history.


A much more convenient way of browsing the changes is offered by the wiki, in the Version History article, neatly sorted by major and minor version. There is an extra page for development versions as well, if you want to check out the snapshots or pre-releases.


The downside is that this information is user-curated and takes some time to be gathered, especially for non-obvious changes, such as the blacklisting of player head textures not hosted on a mojang server in 1.8.4.
