Historical panoramas
Note: This page is in the process of being created. Please help transfer the information from the Historical Panoramas section in the Panorama page. Also, if anyone knows how to add the Panorama Viewer things, please help!
Different panoramas have been used in both Java Edition and Bedrock Edition, however they have been replaced for various reasons. This page documents all such panoramas.
Prototype (Java Edition)
Dinnerbone had stated that the menu panorama was originally going to be an in-game render of a live world, with custom world generation with the seed 100. He also mentioned another panorama that came before the one seen in Beta 1.8, which was a plains biome near the beach.[1]

This panorama had been introduced to Java Edition in Beta 1.8's early development and used for over six years before its replacement in the 1.13 prerelease stage.
The panorama used in Java and Bedrock editions were same. When this panorama was first introduced in Bedrock Edition, it had used the version which fixed the white line inside of it.
This panorama was also in the Early Access builds of Education Edition.
This panorama had been taken on the seed 2151901553968352745 or 8091867987493326313 (both are considered valid seeds) at coordinates X=61.48 / Y=75 / Z=-68.73. The seed 2151901553968352745 spawns the player in a plains biome at -156, 244. The panorama distance direction is 380 blocks SW. These seeds work in versions from Alpha v1.2.0 to Beta 1.7.3 (except for population differences).[2] The actual version that was used to generate this panorama must have been a development version between Beta 1.6.6 and Beta 1.7, based on the file dates. Dinnerbone noted that the panorama was taken by Notch while he was travelling, around June 1–15, 2011.[3][4]
In Java Edition, this panorama is used for versions from Beta 1.8 Pre-release to 18w22c.
In Bedrock Edition, this panorama is used for versions from v0.7.3 alpha to 1.1.7. The constituent image files were blurred.
In Minecraft Education, it was used from its initial release to 1.0.1.
Usage in other editions is unknown.
