Presents the server's game version information to the client on the chat.
Usage
See also: version.json
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 F3 + V debug hotkey, but presents server side info instead of client side.
The following is an example of what would be printed to chat on 1.21.6:
Server version info: id = 1.21.6 name = 1.21.6 data = 4435 series = main protocol = 771 (0x303) build_time = Tue Jun 17 19:07:28 SGT 2025 pack_resource = 63 pack_data = 80 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 | Protocol version |
| Build time | Timestamp of when the version was built, in local timezone. |
| Pack resource | Resource pack format |
| Pack data | Data pack format |
| Stable | Yes for release versions, no for development versions |
