Likewise, water and lava will once again spread to occupy an unlimited amount of space. Gravel and sand, for example, will fall when placed on the ledge.

Many of these old bugs can be exploited to make adventuring less punishing or to add new back doors to the building process. In that same vein, while the bugs in the game will be a turnoff for most players, for some Minecraft veterans it will be a boon.

Minecraft Classic still has standard necessities like stone, gravel, cobblestone, dirt, grass, sponge, wood, and sand, but it is missing some of the more niche options.īirch, amethyst, or acacia, for example, will not be available in this early build of the game. Compared to modern Minecraft, this is a smaller scale game, with only 32 blocks to play with.

To celebrate the game’s tenth anniversary, Microsoft and Mojang have made it possible to play Minecraft Classic online right from your browser.
