Minecraft 2.0: MC Grand Revamp/Development

The development of Minecraft 2.0 is characterized by a complex series of forked and merged development versions.
== Java Edition ==
=== Java Edition 1.18 ===
This phase of development adds the Cave Update features not present in 1.17, as well as Bedrock Edition parity features. It lasted from December 15, 2021 to February 23, 2022. 
Development versions include: 21w50a, 21w51a, 21w52a, 22w01a, 22w01b, 22w02a, 22w03a, 22w05a, 1.18 Pre-Release 1, 1.18 Pre-Release 2, 1.18 Pre-Release 3, 1.18 Pre-Release 4, 1.18 Pre-Release 5, 1.18 Release Candidate 1, 1.18 Release Candidate 2.
1.18 Pre-Release 2 and 1.18 Pre-Release 3 are identical to each other, and it can only be speculated why the latter exists. Furthermore, 1.18 Pre-Release 2 and 1.18 Pre-Release 3 had the shortest time between their releases since ? (please add), with only 4 hours separating their releases.
Java Edition 1.18 was never released, and further snapshots are released after 1.18 Release Candidate 2.
=== Java Edition 2.0-C ===
This phase adds all features used in gameplay with "Classic" enabled. It lasted from February 25 to April 19, 2022. 
Development versions include: 22w08b, 22w10a, 22w10b, 22w11a, 22w11b, 22w12a, 22w13a, 22w14a, 22w14b, 22w15a, 22w16~.
Snapshot 22w08b was released less than 24 hours after 1.18 Release Candidate 2. There was no 22w08a snapshot, which suggests that 1.18 Release Candidate 2 may actually have been 22w08a. After 22w16~, the development split as 5 forks of the version were made.
It is also worth mentioning that the April Fools version 22w13oneblockatatime, released on April Fools 2022, was a fork of a version in this phase, specifically 22w12a.
=== Java Edition 2.0 Forks ===
This phase adds all the new dimensions of 2.0. During this phase, the development split into 5 forks, each working on one branch. It lasted from April 20 to October 9, 2022. Snapshot 22w16~, released on April 19, 2022, was the basis of the forks and identical to the previous 2 development versions.
The forks were named: Fire, Water, Earth, Air, and The Moon, and each worked on certain dimensions. Water, Earth, and Air all added 3 dimensions, while Fire added 2 dimensions (and made changes to the Nether), and The Moon added 1 dimension.

=== K-Versions ===
This short phase, lasting between November 2 and 21, 2022, focused on merging the 5 forks and fixing bugs. Very few features were added, most notably the subtle texture change of pumice and polished pumice (K-10), as well as the addition of Nepali language translations (K-14).

=== Java Edition 2.0 (Final phase) ===
The final phase of 2.0's development, officially known as Java Edition 2.0, but nicknamed the "final phase" to distinguish from other phases in 2.0's development, among other changes, made changes to the End and the ending of the game. It lasted from November 23, 2022 to the release on February 14, 2023.

In total, the development of Java Edition 2.0 lasted 425 days and has 174 snapshots, 18 pre-releases, 4 release candidates, and 16 K-versions, making a total of 212 development versions, the most out of any release.
