How are versions named?

Is there a system behind the version numbers for games and programs?
e.g. Minecraft 1.16.5, or hotfix 1.197.272 in another game, I think you understand what I mean.

There are several conventions, one of which is commonly used: https://semver.org/lang/de/

In individual cases you just have to see how the respective project is versioned.

X.Y.Z

Z is the micro release number, and when it is updated, the update mostly fixes small bugs.

Y is the minor release. Functional extensions are made noticeable here.

X is major release. The number is increased with major changes.

The summary hits it pretty well
