Minecraft:Commands/version

Presents the server's game version information to the client on the Minecraft:chat.

Usage

Prints the server's game version information on the chat, such as the name, protocol version, and the resource pack and data pack formats.

This is similar to the Template:Key Minecraft:debug hotkey, but presents server side info instead of client side.

The following is an example of what would be printed to chat on 26.2:

Server version info:
id = 26.2
name = 26.2
data = 4903
series = main
protocol = 776 (0x308)
build_time = Tue Jun 16 12:01:27 UTC 2026
pack_resource = 88.0
pack_data = 107.1
stable = yes

Field	Content
ID	Version ID string
Name	User-friendly name of the version, usually identical to ID.
Data	Minecraft:Data version
Series	Identifies which branch the game comes from, the default value is "main". This can be seen in the Minecraft:version.json for older versions, for example, "deep_dark_preview" was used for Minecraft:Deep Dark Experimental Snapshot 1 and "april<YYYY>" is used for joke versions released since 2022.
Protocol	Minecraft:Protocol version
Build time	Timestamp of when the version was built, in local timezone.
Pack resource	Minecraft:Resource pack format
Pack data	Minecraft:Data pack format
Stable	Yes for release versions, no for development versions
