Old Versioning System
- By
Shows Minecraft's version the old way: 26.3 becomes 1.24 on the title screen, the F3 screen, the window title and more.
Miss the old version numbers? Since 26.1, Minecraft is numbered by year and drop instead of 1.x. This mod shows the version as if the old numbering had carried on after 1.21.11, with every drop counting as a new major version.
The numbers
- 26.1 shows as 1.22 (hotfixes too: 26.1.1 is 1.22.1, 26.1.2 is 1.22.2)
- 26.2 shows as 1.23
- 26.3 shows as 1.24
- 26.4 shows as 1.25 (snapshots too: 26.4-snapshot-7 is 1.25-snapshot-7)
Where it changes
- The title screen: "Minecraft 1.24"
- The window title: "Minecraft* 1.24 - Singleplayer"
- The top line of the F3 screen
- The version shown next to each world in the world list
- The red version name in the server list, for servers on a different version
- The
/versioncommand
What it doesn't change
Only the text you see changes. Your worlds, servers, Realms and resource packs still use the real version, so nothing breaks and you can join any server as normal. Crash reports, logs and the launcher also keep the real number.
Requirements
Minecraft 26.3 with Fabric Loader, on your own game. Fabric API isn't required, and servers don't need it (install it on a server only if you want /version to show the old number too).
Compatibility
- Works alongside my other mods, Lifeline / Half-Hardcore, Chunk Claims and Elytra Ban.
- There should be no issues with other mods, but another mod that also changes the title screen's version text could overlap with this one. Let me know in the comments if you find any problems.
AI Notice
This entire mod was made with Claude Code AI, so there may still be some issues. Let me know in the comments. (This description was also made with Claude, I have gone through it making sure everything is correct.)
