Actually, Minecraft 26 comes out this year. They dropped the "1." and bumped the sub-version from 21 to 26 to match the year. They've also changed the way the new second tier works to be related to the quarter-year.

26.1 is due next month.

So yeah, there'll never be a Minecraft 2.0. The versioning no longer allows for it.

(This doesn't rule out a game called "Minecraft II" with its own set of unrelated but identical version numbers. Minecraft II 36.1 drops in ten years. Maybe. But probably not.)

honestly good for them, this tells me they realised how useless the "1.x.x" format is since they do not plan on ever having it tick up to 2.x.x, and changed it to something that allows them to convey more meaningful information

You haven't accounted for 3002.

I assume they're using (year - 2000) as the version number, which happens to match "last two digits" and will do until 2099. So any version of Minecraft released that year under the new system would be Minecraft 1002.x, not 2.x.

Minecraft II is called Hytale

And here's me thinking it was called Vintage Story.

I thought it was Veloren

You mean Valheim?

Veloren, it's basically Hytale before Hytale

EDIT: It's also open source
