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 on 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 It is no longer updated and only kept for historical purposes.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.

Because of its outdated status, it does not support crafting, inventory or any newer features such as dynamic lighting.

Advantages of Pre-Purchasing
Although this mode is free to the public, there are several advantages made available to those who have pre-purchased the game. Some of them are the ability to:
 * Use skins in all modes (both singleplayer and multiplayer)
 * Save maps made in Classic to disk
