Java Edition Classic

Classic, also known as Creative mode, is a title given to game modes released before Indev. This version of the game is still playable for free in the Minecraft's website. It is no longer updated and only kept for historical purposes.

It is build-based and comes in singleplayer and multiplayer variations. There are mods which have been added in the multiplayer, making the game more varied in gameplay. Some special custom game modes like Lava Survival or Zombies have also been created.

During this time, it does not yet support crafting, inventory or any features like dynamic lighting.

Advantages of Pre-Purchasing
Although this mode is free, there are several advantages while playing if the player has already pre-purchased the game. They are:
 * Use skins in both singleplayer and multiplayer
 * Save the game to hard drive
 * Animals and monsters
 * Actual mining and crafting
 * A map bigger than you can imagine!
