Release Java Edition Minor update Patch of 1.7.2 The Update that Changed the World

Minecraft 1.7.10

Released on 26 June 2014, Minecraft Java Edition 1.7.10 is the final release of 1.7. It focuses on Realms, with a world uploader, a player activity monitor and more world settings, and moves Realms into a separate library so new Realms features no longer need a game update. Many Forge mods were built for it.

Released 26 Jun 2014

Key takeaways

  • Realms upload: you can now upload a local world to your realm.
  • Realms settings: PvP, difficulty, spawn protection, game mode, mob spawning and Command Blocks, which are enabled again in Realms.
  • Activity monitor: realm owners can see when and for how long each player was online.
  • Final 1.7 release: 1.7.10 was the last version before 1.8, the Bountiful Update, on 2 September 2014.

Minecraft 1.7.10 FAQ

When was Minecraft 1.7.10 released?

On 26 June 2014, for Java Edition, after four pre-releases. Mojang announced it two days earlier. It is the last 1.7 version, and 1.8 followed on 2 September 2014.

Why do so many mods use 1.7.10?

Many Forge mods and modpacks were made for 1.7.10, and some were never updated. A mod only runs on the game version it was built for, so these packs still need 1.7.10.

Which Java version does Minecraft 1.7.10 need?

Java 8. The official launcher runs 1.7.10 with its own Java 8 runtime.

Should I update from 1.7.9 to 1.7.10?

Yes, especially to use the new Realms features. 1.7.10 joins the same 1.7.6 to 1.7.9 servers.
