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?
