Classic

Classic is a title given to game modes released before Indev. Creative, and later Survival Game modes were introduced in this version. The releases of the survival mode in Classic were conducted in a test named Survival Test. Creative, and later Survival Game modes were introduced in this version. It was the second development phase in Minecraft. The lack of sneaking and the addition of dyes to Beta gradually made Classic obsolete; however, many players still used Classic for building things that would take too long in Beta. It is a very early version of the game mode. It later became completely obsolete when Creative was added to Beta in 1.8. Even after Classic was phased out, the Survival Test could still be played until December 16, 2010, when the website received a major overhaul. Because of its outdated status, it does not support many of the main features in the current versions such as crafting, inventory, or dynamic lighting.

0.0.9, the first public release of Classic.
