1.8.8[2] is an update to Java Edition that was released on July 28, 2015 to mainly fix security bugs. 1.8.8 is compatible with servers running 1.8–1.8.7.[2] While it was not the last update to 1.8, it was the last one before the snapshots of 1.9 started.

A pre-release for 1.8.8 was released on July 27 for players to test,[3] though the full release of 1.8.8 is identical to this pre-release.
