1. It sounds good

2. Shameless self promotion, a while ago I wrote a bunch of code to parse/match/work with semantic versions, it's on GitHub, feel free to use the lib

Ok thanks, just making sure that's not too intrusive or annoying to the player. Thanks for the code, but it's kind of too much just for something simple like this. Here's the code for my version checker, probably sucks but whatever.

Well i started programming at c#. If minecraft was in c# i could have helped you on this, but in java, i am not quite sure how to do it. Not very experienced on java internet code.

Cerandior, I have it working fine. Shadowfacts and diesieben07 helped me very nicely.
