Minecraft Classic
Share
Minecraft Classic is an online version of the famous open-world sandbox building game. It is a remake of the ⚽️ original Minecraft and was released for its 10th anniversary by the developer Mojang. In the game, players can build in ⚽️ creative mode using 32 available blocks. The game has a multiplayer feature so you can play with up to 8 ⚽️ friends.
History
Minecraft was first released to the public on 17 May 2009. Today it is published in the exact state of ⚽️ its initial release. This means that there are only 32 blocks that you can build with, and all the original ⚽️ bugs are in there! So if you are used to the latest version, it can be quite a shock to ⚽️ see how the game has evolved. To quote Tom Stone from Mojang "With just 32 blocks to build with, all ⚽️ the original bugs, and an (inter)face only a mother could love, Minecraft 2009 is even more glorious than we remembered!"
Version
The ⚽️ Classic version was the first development stage that had some of its versions released to the public. It was initially ⚽️ named "Minecraft Alpha". So it is the version before all the updates and expansions.
To start with, you only have 32 ⚽️ blocks so your building capacities will be limited.
There are no monsters or enemies in this version. So there is no ⚽️ need to worry if you'll be home before dark.
In the old days, sand blocks were rare and only appeared in ⚽️ one block-thick beaches. So don't waste your sand blocks!
In the classic version, the arms of the character wings wildly around ⚽️ when you are walking. It's hilarious!
Since its first release, Minecraft is one of the most popular video games ever. Today ⚽️ it is one of the top mobile games in the Google Play Store and the Apple store! It also sparked ⚽️ a whole category of games. The game was bought in 2014 by Microsoft for 2.5 billion dollars.
Releasing Minecraft Classic has ⚽️ given the game a resurgence. The creative mode gives players the opportunity to build whatever they can imagine. Maybe a ⚽️ castle complete with moat and working drawbridge. Maybe a huge cityscape complete with skyscrapers and public parks. The possibilities are ⚽️ endless and the game has fantastic longevity.
Social channels
This game has become even more popular due to well-known YouTubers such as ⚽️ PewDiePie and Lazarbeam creating Minecraft classic content. These videos draw millions of views and help players learn about the game. ⚽️ Why not jump into creative mode and give this classic a try?
