Java Edition Classic 0.0.13a

0.0.13a was a version of Classic made on May 21, 2009. This version is available in the launcher.

0.0.13a was an early development build of 0.0.13a_03. This build still included many features from 0.0.12a, such as the "generating level" screen from that version instead of the one from 0.0.13a_03. It appears to be a build used to test level size, as the world generator uses strictly flat terrain.

 * Holding down no longer causes the player to cycle between different locations - holding the key now has the same effect as simply pressing it.


 * Terrain
 * The terrain is no longer always generated a block above water.
 * Lava and water will now always produce stone.
 * Surface dirt layer is more uniform.
 * There is almost always a layer of grass with dirt under it above stone.

Bugs

 * Transparency issue with water.
 * Level saving sometimes does not work.
 * The reason is because Opera and older versions of Java did not support a workaround Notch made to allow connecting to a host from an applet in LWJGL.
 * When facing at certain angles a block can be placed where a block already is.
