A '''protocol version''' number<ref><samp>[https://minecraft.net/download/server server.jar]</samp>, located in class <samp>com.mojang.bridge.game.GameVersion</samp></ref><ref>https://wiki.vg/Protocol_version_numbers</ref> ('''PVN''') is an integer used to check for incompatibilities between the player's client and the server they are trying to connect to.
|
|
|
|
== Usage ==
|
|
[[File:Outdated client.png|thumb|An outdated client attempting to connect to a server on a newer version.]]
|
|
Client and server versions with the same protocol version are compatible with each other. For example, a client running [[Java Edition 1.8.9]] can connect to a server running [[Java Edition 1.8]], as both have a protocol version of 47.
|
|
|
|
Upon attempting to join a [[multiplayer]] server, the game checks if the client has a protocol version newer or older than the selected server; if it does, the game then alerts the player that their client (or the server) is outdated.
|
|
|
|
== Versioning ==
|
|
All versions, including minor releases and development versions on both {{els|je|be}}, have their own protocol version. The version takes the form of an ever-increasing positive integer unlike client versions. Protocol versions may occasionally be skipped between major releases.
|
|
|
|
Since [[1.16.4-pre1]], protocol versions of {{JE}} development releases take the form of very large numbers best represented using hexadecimal (represented by the prefix "0x" in the protocol version tables, starting from 0x40000001 (1073741825 in decimal)). This was made to allow release versions to be cross-compatible while both being incompatible with their development versions. For example, both [[1.20.5]] and [[1.20.6]] have a protocol version of 766, and are therefore multiplayer cross-compatible, while both of these are incompatible with [[1.20.6-rc1]], which has a protocol version of 0x400000C0.

== Storage location ==
|
|
=== ''Java Edition'' ===
|
|
Each ''Minecraft'' build since [[18w47b]] specifies its current protocol version in the <samp>[[version.json]]</samp> file, found in the root directory of the [[Client.jar|client]] and [https://minecraft.net/download/server server] jars.

</div>
|
|
|
|
=== ''Bedrock Edition'' ===
|
|
Since [[Bedrock Edition beta 1.2.0.22|beta 1.2.0.22]], the protocol version can be viewed by going into "Profile Settings" and scrolling down to the bottom. The protocol version appears in front of the text saying "Protocol Version:". It can also appear on the preview/beta debug text in front of the text saying "cli-p''n''".
