Cannot seem to be able to play Minecraft 1.14

When I open up Minecraft launcher (PC), it reads that I am playing on the latest release (1.13.2). However I see multiple questions on Arqade about Minecraft 1.14. Even with "Enable SnapShots" and "Historical Versions" enabled, I cannot see a "1.14" Version.

Can someone help me with this?


Solution 1:

The development versions of the Java Edition are called "snapshots", and have a versioning format like "19w05a", which states the year (19), week number (05) and weekly identifier (a). In the example case (19w05a), the snapshot is first (a) snapshot of week 05 in 2019.

So, to play Java Edition 1.14 development versions, you need to first enable snapshots from the launcher settings and play profile "Latest Snapshot".
