Which Minecraft versions are supported?
The web client supports every Java Edition release from 1.7.2 to 26.3: 1.7.2 to 1.7.10, every 1.8 to 1.21 release, and 26.1 to 26.3. New releases are added as quickly as possible.
Bedrock accounts have no version to pick. They join on whatever version the server runs. See Does MinecraftAFK support Bedrock?
Picking the version
Each server profile has a Java version, the one its Java and cracked accounts join with. A new profile starts on the newest release, and you can change it whenever you like in the profile's Settings: see Server information.
Pick a version the server accepts. Many servers let a range of versions in. When yours isn't one of them, the server turns the account away and an Incompatible version popup shows the kick message: see Connection error popups.
Features that depend on the version
Most of MinecraftAFK works the same on every supported version. A few things depend on something a Minecraft release added or changed, so they need that release or newer:
| Feature | Needs | On older versions |
|---|---|---|
| Textures in the POV | 1.8 | 1.7 worlds are drawn in plain colours |
{deathMessage} in a webhook | 1.8 | It is always blank on 1.7 |
| The off hand | 1.9 | 1.8 has no off hand, so the inventory has no slot for it |
| The Sound plays macro event | 1.9.3 | It never fires on 1.7, 1.8 or 1.9 to 1.9.2 |
| Saving a selection as a schematic | 1.13 | Save Selection says "Saving needs Minecraft 1.13 or newer" |
| Villager trades | 1.14 | The trading window opens with no offers in it, and the macro Trade step is skipped |
| Auto eat moving food into the off hand | 1.16 | It brings food to the hotbar instead |
| Command completion in chat | 1.19.1 | No suggestions as you type a command |
| Server dialogs in the POV | 1.21.6 | Older servers can't send them |
A few notes on those:
- Auto eat before 1.16 doesn't move food into the off hand. When the food is in the inventory, the bot swaps it into the hotbar, eats, and puts back what it moved. From 1.9 it still eats food that's already in its off hand.
- Sound plays on an older server saves like any other macro, but nothing ever sets it off. On 1.13 and 1.13.1 it also can't hear sounds a server adds itself, only the game's own.
- Server dialogs are the custom screens a server can put up, for rules or a login form. On Bedrock, a server's forms show in the POV in the same way.
Joining from your own game
These versions are the ones your bots can connect with. Joining mc.minecraftafk.com from your own copy of Minecraft accepts fewer releases: see Play from your Minecraft client.
Paying with SEPA Direct Debit
A SEPA Direct Debit takes up to three weeks to clear, and a new plan or upgrade paid that way only starts once it has. Once the debit is submitted, it cannot be cancelled.
