Talk:Java Edition Classic/Archive 1

Creative should not redirect to Classic.
"Classic" refers to a now outdated version of Creative mode, and Creative refers to an as-of-yet unreleased version that will be based off of /game/.

 * Nice troll... No, I believe minecraft classic isn't bad. --Demki 20:31, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I though about how this should be re-arranged today, and came up with these five articles that should be kept updated:
 * Survival
 * Classic (also known as Creative, for now)
 * Indev
 * Infdev
 * Beta
 * Creative is currently named 'Classic' on the official site, so that's how it should be. --Philcsf 20:55, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

no, we should NOT delete it, because then kids like me without email would be forever LOCKED out of Minecraft, you jerkwad :(

if anyone agrees, please post your edits here!

Is the "Advantages of Pre-Purchasing" Section needed?
It has nothing to do with creative mode and it really sounds like a sales pitch and I don't think it's needed. Does anybody else wish to pitch in on this? Postronicman 06:06, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I created that section. It was meant to be "Advantages TO Classic after pre-purchasing", so the ability to play Alpha is irrelevant. I've fixed it now. --Scykei 06:11, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Is "Players have infinite blocks for creating large structures, but there are no crafting items like sticks, boats, and minecarts." an avantage of Pre-Purchasing? Chrunchstick 14:11, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Better Classic screenshot?
In the same way for Alpha screenshot, the screenshot of Classic don't represent the gameplay of classic game mode. I think it should be changed. --DjDCH 20:00, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

What is this? I dont even...
Someone put a bunch of stuff under trivia, which some of it is wrong, some is irrelevant, and some is just plain ???. Am I the only one that sees this?

Yes, it is likely a vandalism. However this wiki is weird so I don't even know how to report vandalism.--Ha3 22:33, 19 January 2011 (UTC) Sounds like luck the Community Portal has just been modified and it has an admin noticeboard link in it.--Ha3 22:44, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Jar Files?
In the trivia section it says there were unused mob files. Can anyone specify/show what they were? I'm curious. --Captain_Clam 01:58, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

Saving Bug?
What happened to the line about the bug that says that saving and loading are not functional? Perhaps it's just me, since I haven't purchased the Beta, but I am also not able to save or load Classic maps stored on my computer. I would like to request that somebody find out whether or not people who have purchased the Beta can save and load Classic maps stored on their computer. If so, then it's probably a premium feature and should be listed as such. If not, then that bug line should be reinstated. 150.243.50.10 21:33, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

I have purchased the game and I can't load or save files either, so yeah it's a bug. Felix20 15:44, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

yeah, Notch removed it so he could "phase out" Classic, which is a bunch of cr-- that should be STOPPED IMMEDIATELY!

and if you want to save, play on a server!

Classic Sound will never be back?
since 1.8 came out classic lost its resource files. I don't know if they will be replanted in classic or not.

Java 7 breaks multiplayer in classic?
I installed latest Java 7, premium worked just fine, but trying to enter classic server caused "server is down?" error.

Googling this showed that everyone had problems with running classic multiplayer.

It has something with IPv4 broken in Java 7

Is it safe to play on the website?
I'd like to play browser version of minecraft but the application's digital signature has an error. Can anyone please tell me if it is safe to play as I'd like to know why people say the game is addictive? --62.252.7.240 17:07, 15 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Playing on minecraft.net is safe. Since you're getting a digital signature error, you're probably trying to play an illegally cracked version, which may or may not be safe; there's no way to tell. -- Orthotope 18:58, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

Wait. So the minecraft.net version is illegally cracked? That's where i'm trying to play minecraft.--62.252.7.240 10:57, 16 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Strange... I usually don't play the in-browser version, but it wasn't giving me a certificate warning the last time I tried it. -- Orthotope 17:50, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Would google chrome contribute to my problem? Because my internet browser is google chrome.--62.252.7.240 11:47, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Oh one more thing : the error is the certificate for the digital signature has expired.Does that mean i can't play it?--62.252.7.240 12:02, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
 * It is fine to play, you get this issue with classic because Mojang didn't bother to update the certificate. Just say yes to all the things.  Pokechu22 19:28, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

i really want to play multiplayer on minecraft classic but i dont know how can any one help?!

To get on Classic Multiplayer, go to: https://minecraft.net/classic/list If it doesn't work, downgrade java to Java 6. --108.195.122.208 21:38, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Classic is removed now
Minecraft Classic isn't playable anymore. They've removed it...:


 * ''New to Minecraft?
 * Minecraft Classic is a several years old version of Minecraft and is no longer supported, nor is it being worked on.
 * If you want to have a go at the real thing you should try the free Minecraft demo.''

--MinecraftMuffin 21:17, 21 September 2012 (UTC)


 * EDIT: Forget what I said. It's still there. But only if you use the direct link. Look classic article for more information --MinecraftMuffin 21:46, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

--Guest 22:22, 11 November 2012 (UTC)


 * EDIT 2: Minecraft's site put the links back but, you have to click "Minecraft Classic" in the message "Looking for Minecraft Classic?" Then once you get to the page go down until you see this message "I want to play the old Minecraft Classic: singleplayer | multiplayer" on that message either click "singleplayer" or "multiplayer". Enjoy! --Guest 22:22, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

It dosent work for me, it has a different loading screen and says; Fatal error occured (5). A device attached to the system is not functioning. No one else seems to have this isssue yet. let me know if you have it cuz i want to play on ablocz agian. Louise4589TheEpic 12:16, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Neutrality
I don't think there should be a section where it states the advantages of buying the game. Then the article would kinda not be very neutral. In this case, I recommend removing it since some people, like I do sometimes, like Classic better than the paid version. Plus, it would make a newbie think that the wiki is written by the same dudes who made the game, although as we know it's not. 72.136.183.109 23:46, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

Add link to Minecraft Demo in the "See Also" section?
I think that there should be a link to the Minecraft demo page (www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Demo) in the "See Also" section as it is another version of Minecraft like all the other links and it is similar to Minecraft Classic as it is also free. Christopherbikie 09:26, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Pre Classic
I edited the it was the first development stage in minecraft. Thats incorrect because pre classic was the first development stage of minecraft. However Classic was the first stage that was relased to public. --69.242.110.19 17:41, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
