Description

When I run /version, it logs about a custom build, even though I am using an official build from https://www.glowstone.net/#downloads:

>version
21:30:15 [INFO] This server is running Glowstone version 2017.6.1-SNAPSHOT.b01b8fe-MC1.12 (Implementing API version 1.12-R0.1-SNAPSHOT)
21:30:15 [INFO] Checking version, please wait...
21:30:15 [INFO] Unknown version, custom build?

(where is it checking the version from?)

Glowstone build 544

Research direction
Look into the `/version` command handler, likely in the command source. Check how the version string is generated and compared to known builds. Investigate the build numbering system (e.g., Glowstone build 544) and why it's not recognized. Consider the build artifacts and version manifest files.
