1.8.8[1] was an update to Minecraft (Java Edition) that was released on July 27, 2015 to mainly fix security bugs. 1.8.8 is compatible with servers running 1.8 – 1.8.7.[1] 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 earlier on July 27 for players to test,[2] though the full release of 1.8.8 was just a hotfix of this pre-release.
