Long-Term Support (LTS) Policy

Overview

Our LTS policy ensures continued support for previous versions while maintaining focus on the latest developments. Below are the specific support guidelines:

Support Duration

  • Previous Minor Version: The last minor version before a new release will be supported for 1 month after the first build of the latest version is available.

    • Example: If 1.21.5 is released, then 1.21.4 will be supported for 1 month after the first 1.21.5 build is deployed.
  • Previous Major Version: The latest minor version of the previous major version will be supported until the next update cycle.

    • Example: If 1.22 is released, then 1.21.(latest) will be supported until 1.22.1 is released.

Additional Notes

  • Critical Fix Updates: Critical fixes from Minecraft itself do not affect this policy. If a critical fix update is released, it will be considered as the same as the update it associates with(like 1.21 and 1.21.1 would be considered the same).
  • Feature Backporting: New features will only be available on the latest version and will not be backported.
  • Bug Fixes: Only bug fixes will be provided for LTS versions.

This policy ensures a balance between stability for existing users and continued progress on the latest version.
