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.)

    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.

    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

    Minecraft II is called Hytale

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