History

Trivia

• Despite Larsson stating that the Sift is the first new dimension to be implemented into the base game in 14 years, its 2027-scheduled implementation actually increases that count to 15, as Minecraft:the End was implemented first in November 2011.
  • As of currently, the End was first accessible in a development version Template:Age in years and days ago (Minecraft:Java Edition Beta 1.9 Prerelease 4, released 2011-10-13), and in a full release Template:Age in years and days ago (Minecraft:Java Edition 1.0.0, released 2011-11-18).
