Proto:Minecraft: Java Edition/Classic

This is a sub-page of Proto:Minecraft: Java Edition.

This article is a work in progress. ...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.

To do: Create "Development Builds" page.

Classic was the second development phase of the game, in which it was constantly improved and updated over several months. It occurred between May 16 and December 23, 2009. The original game mode was Creative, but on September 1, 2009 development began for Survival Mode under the name Survival Test.

Additionally, these builds were originally called "Minecraft Alpha" since the game was planned to come out in 2010, but on June 28, 2010, these versions were retroactively named "Classic" to avoid confusion with the actual Alpha versions.

Sub-Pages

Early Classic Creative The first public versions of the game (although 0.0.10 and earlier were only given to certain forum members).

Multiplayer Test I can see you! And you can see me!

Survival Test The beginning of the "Survival" gamemode.

Late Classic Creative Most people think of this development stage when they hear "minecraft classic".

Development Builds Self explanatory. It is unknown how these were released - if they were released for private testing, or something else.
