This feature is exclusive to Java Edition.

Presents the server's game version information to the client on the chat.

Usage

Prints the server's game version information on the chat, such as the name, protocol version, and the resource pack and data pack formats.

This is similar to the F3 + V debug hotkey, but presents server side info instead of client side.

The following is an example of what would be printed to chat on 1.21.8:

Server version info:
id = 1.21.8
name = 1.21.8
data = 4440
series = main
protocol = 772 (0x304)
build_time = Tue Jul 17 12:00:57 UTC 2025
pack_resource = 64
pack_data = 81
stable = yes

Field	Content
ID	Version ID string
Name	User-friendly name of the version, usually identical to ID.
Data	Data version
Series	Identifies which branch the game comes from, the default value is "main". This can be seen in the version.json for older versions, for example, "deep_dark_preview" was used for Deep Dark Experimental Snapshot 1 and "april<YYYY>" is used for joke versions released since 2022.
Protocol	Protocol version
Build time	Timestamp of when the version was built, in local timezone.
Pack resource	Resource pack format
Pack data	Data pack format
Stable	Yes for release versions, no for development versions
