Minecraft:Commands/version

Template:Exclusive Template:Infobox command

Presents the server's game version information to the client on the 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 debug hotkey, but presents server side info instead of client side.

The following is an example of what would be printed to chat on 1.21.8:

Server version info:
id = 1.21.8
name = 1.21.8
data = 4440
series = main
protocol = 772 (0x304)
build_time = Tue Jul 17 12:00:57 UTC 2025
pack_resource = 64
pack_data = 81
stable = yes

Field	Content
ID	Version ID string
Name	User-friendly name of the version, usually identical to ID.
Data	Data version
Series	Identifies which branch the game comes from, the default values is "main" and other values are used when a version isn't from the main branch. This can be checked on the version.json for older versions, for example, "deep_dark_preview" was used for Deep Dark Experimental Snapshot 1 and "april<YYYY>" is used for April Fools' Day joke versions released in 2022 or after.
Protocol	Minecraft:Protocol version
Build time	Timestamp of when the version was built, in local timezone.
Pack resource	Resource pack format
