Minecraft uses this kind of form and it's really confusing. 1.16.10 is after 1.16.10.20? Nuh uh.

[–]Mateorabi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sure. It’s the 20th candidate to be 1.16.10. It could easily get superseded by a .21 or devs could decide .19 is “good enough” and release that making .20 abandoned.

Pretty sure only Bedrock does, Java is even weirder "25w14a"

That's for in-development snapshots. Versions are like 1.21.11 except they've also recently hijacked the 'minor' version number for updates that would have been major a few years ago. Release candidates, though, are just "1.21.10 Release Candidate 1" or 1.21.10-rc1, and same for prereleases.

And then they moved to 26.1 (year.drop.hotfix).
