It’s time to go back to a simpler time, with no battles to fight and no fears when night falls, it’s time to play Minecraft Classic. This famous game may have changed over the years, but its essence, that which has endeared it to gamers, has remained the same. Immerse yourself in a blast from the past!
Thanks to Mojang, its original creator, the original version released in 2009 is available. This was the one that gave rise to this whole revolution of virtual worlds built with cubes.
Meet a Steve, 10 years younger
This version of Minecraft Classic is 0.023, the original system developed by Markus Persson in 2009 for Mojang. It pays a small tribute to the entire history and success of this video game.
Minecraft Classic for browser is only available in creative mode. You’ll be able to build without limits, without the need to get resources or prepare for the dangers of the night. You will be surrounded by the familiar cubic landscape and pixelated textures representing hills, caverns, deserts, and forests.
This creative mode will only allow you to use 32 blocks with different materials such as stone, sand, and wood to make constructions.
This game has a great spirit of nostalgia. It is designed for those regular enthusiasts of later versions who want to know the origins of their favorite title. Even Steve, the main character, has characteristics typical of that era.
