Trivia

  • 1.3.1 was a version that held several development-related records, until the development of 1.8.
    • The most snapshots for a major release: 19.
    • The longest development period, from first snapshot to final release: 111 days.
    • The longest wait between major releases, with a release 153 days after the release of 1.2.1 (Later broken by the wait time between 1.8 and 1.9)
  • If the player changed their skin after 1.8 was released, 1.3.1 would be the oldest version to display that skin change. If the player plays on 1.2.5 or older versions they will still see the last skin they used before 1.8.
