Please be patient with me because sometimes a lot of information can be very confusing. I have been reading some of the posts on this forum and now need some clarification on updates for the game. First I will bring you up to date on my game.
At present I am playing Minecraft 1.6.4 on PC running Windows 7. This was a complete new installation which my daughter downloaded for me only two weeks ago. Until then, I did not know you could play Minecraft on PCs
When the game starts there is message referring to a launcher that is required for 1.7. I have downloaded and installed the file.
While browsing the web for updated to the game I noticed a number of downloads for 1.7, 1.7.2 and 1.7.3 yet when reading the posts here, it is stated that 1.7 for PCs has not been released yet. So I can only surmise that these updates must be for different game playing devices.
I have also noticed that when I first run the game that it does look for updates. When 1.7 is released will my game automatically update to the version or will I have to download and install the update.
All relevant information would be greatly appreciated
1.7,1.7.2 etc that you see refer to game versions from the beta release.
When the upcoming 1.7 is released, your client will automatically download it and set it as the current version under your profile (unless you have told the launcher to only use a specific version)
