Overview[]
Minecraft is never finished; it is constantly being developed further. Creators are constantly working on new content or updates. An update is a bundle of changes to official Minecraft game clients that are released periodically by Mojang Studios.
Updates to Minecraft may add, remove, or tweak features such as blocks, items, entities, and game mechanics.
NOTE: Alpha and Beta (that is, versions from June 30, 2010, to September 19, 2011) updates were only ported to the launcher. Unless one has downloaded third party mods or systems, the old sounds for doors, bows, and the like will not play.
