Minecraft Bedrock Versions Timeline
Browse every major Minecraft Bedrock release. Versions are listed most recent first and include their release date and associated Bedrock world generation epoch. Versions within the same epoch generate identical worlds from the same seed.
Every major Minecraft update introduces something new—blocks, mobs, structures, or, occasionally, a complete overhaul of world generation.
This timeline shows when each release arrived and how it fits into Minecraft’s evolving world-gen history. The epoch badge on each version links to the corresponding world-generation era, where you can learn what changed under the hood.
Whether you’re researching terrain behavior, searching for compatible seeds, or simply exploring Minecraft’s update history, this page makes it easy to trace the evolution of the Bedrock edition.
