Minecraft 1.8.7
Released on 5 June 2015, Minecraft Java Edition 1.8.7 is a security release for 1.8, the Bountiful Update. It fixes four reported issues: two with server resource packs, a Unicode character pair that crashed clients set to Turkish and signs that could cause crashes. Mojang recommended it for players and servers alike.
Key takeaways
- Resource packs: server resource packs are now cleaned up, and they stop downloading when you disconnect.
- Crashes: a specific pair of Unicode characters no longer crashes clients using the Turkish (tr_TR) language, and signs can no longer cause crashes.
- Compatibility: fully compatible with all previous 1.8 versions, with an update highly recommended for both players and servers.
