Java Edition 3D Shareware v1.34

3D Shareware v1.34 is an April Fool's joke release, officially called Minecraft 3D.

According to the developers, Minecraft 3D Shareware v1.34 is an old version of Minecraft from 1994 of which only a handful of copies were ever made, one of which was discovered amongst all the rubble lying in the basement of Mojang's old offices. It was said to be "a masterpiece of its time" featuring "cutting-edge technology that won everything from GOTY to the Oscar for best supporting actress", although this is all part of the joke.

Blocks

 * Barrel
 * Has a 2D model with fire above which always faces the player, similar to a fireball.
 * When closing a barrel, it will cause an explosion if empty, otherwise the barrel closing sound will stutter endlessly. The explosion will not destroy blocks.
 * Will generate randomly throughout the world.
 * Upon generation, will have the new "bonus_barrel" loot table, which can contain crossbows named "BFC9000" with an enchantment of Multishot 1-12, and can have various types of enchanted armors and weapons, random effect tipped arrows, and random effect potions (splash and lingering).
 * Shooting them will cause them to explode. This explosion will destroy blocks, unlike the explosion produced by closing empty barrels.

Mobs

 * Ravager
 * Now drops a yellow key.
 * Rendering
 * Most entities render as 2D, which explains the 2D model of the barrel above.

Gameplay

 * The game always runs in demo mode, even if no  flag is present, which is why no Realms button exists.
 * Like normal, after a 5 in-game day counter, the player is unable to use, break or place any blocks, at which point attempting to do so will show a message that the demo has expired, but normally the player can start a new world, but in this case the player cannot play anymore unless they delete their world file and create a new one.
 * Pop-ups will appear randomly saying "Next disc required", similar to the "Minecraft Demo mode" pop-up.
 * Upon selecting an "episode" and difficulty, the player will be prompted to a traditional Minecraft Demo popup. Clicking "Purchase Now!" will have the game create a text document called "ORDER.TXT" which contains several fake games and merchandise which you can "order" in the "MOJANG ORDER SHEET" which appears to ship your purchase to "Mojang PC Repair and Software AB" in Stockholm, Sweden. The fake games/merchandise are as listed below:
 * "MineCraft 3D - Immersive virtual-reality mining simulation with intense crafting capabilities! Our freshest and radicalest game!"
 * "MineCraft 3D: Deeper and darker - Gigantic expansion pack: 3 new ores, 7 new weapons and 11 new enemy variants. Including Buff Crepper and Evilshroom II!"
 * "MineCraft 3D: Mines of North Pole - Obligatory holiday map pack. Ideal for X-mas '94!"
 * "MineCraft 3D: Strategy Guide - Only the hottest of tips, guides and cheats! Mandatory for every pickaxe maniac!"
 * "MineCraft 3D: Themed PC-Speaker Set - Collectors' item! Guarantees best sound experience!"
 * "MineCraft 3D: Sticket set - "Better than nothing". Ideal for your younger sibling!"
 * "[COMMING SOON] MineCraft 3D: Action figurine set - You have to acquire them all!"
 * "MineCraft 2 - Classic 2D Minecraft experience. If you haven't played it yet, shame on you!" (possible reference to the Java Edition 2.0 April Fools' update)
 * "MineCraft 2: Swedish Parliamentary Elections edition - Finally, the expansion pack you've been waiting for!"
 * "MineCraft 2: All the guns! - 'Nuff said"
 * "Fermented Herring Simulator VII - Why do you keep asking for this?"
 * "Fermented Herring Simulator VII: Thorium Pack - No! Really, stop!"
 * "Fermented Herring Simulator VII: Scratch and sniff"
 * "Doom 2 - Completely not related to other games named Doom. This one is about gardening."
 * The document has several typos that seem to be intentional.
 * According to the document, "Orders must be received by April 1st 1995 or while stocks last".
 * Difficulty
 * When selecting difficulty in the "Select difficulty" menu each mode is displayed differently than is ingame:
 * Peaceful is "Hello, NoobVille",
 * Easy is "Filthy casual!"
 * Normal is "Lemon curry?"
 * Hard is "eXtreme to the maXxXxX!"
 * "Obligatory nightmare mode" functions the same as hard, but the player will continually receive damage.

General

 * Loading Screen
 * The loading screen will at first appear similar to a command prompt, displaying "By 1991-1994 Mojang Repair and Software... Loading Minecraft 3D" and several other pieces of information.
 * Shortly after this prompt the screen will switch to a pure white background, with a version of the Mojang logo appearing in the center of the screen, floating around, rotating and growing bigger as it gets closer until it comes to a halt at the center of the screen, displaying the company name MOJANG underneath it with (presumably) one of the Minecraft developers saying "Mojang!"
 * A prompt above the loading- and title screens will display the message "UNREGISTERED VERSION" in green text against a red background scrolling from left to right.


 * Title Screen
 * "Demo mode" is always set to "true".
 * The "Play Demo World" button is now labeled as "Select episode"
 * Clicking on it will display a list of five "episodes", only one of which is actually accessible, the others only "Available in registered version". The list of episodes as follows:
 * "The player is you!" (the only accessible episode)
 * "Knee-deep in lava"
 * "Not just the endermen"
 * "Removing Herobrine"
 * "All these worlds are yours except..."
 * The "Reset Demo World" button is now labeled as "ModemPlay(TM)" and clicking on it will display "Blip blop".
 * Clicking on it again will display "Nej!" (No! in Swedish) until the player reloads the title screen.
 * The button is always available even if the demo world doesn't exist.
 * A large image of a rotating 3D logo will be displayed next to splashes.


 * HUD
 * Health and armor are displayed as percentages
 * The display slots are empty in Creative mode
 * The player's head and torso is displayed as a portrait, with the head randomly turning left and right.
 * Hunger is displayed as a Raw Beef icon on top of a Bone
 * Only the bone is displayed in Creative mode
 * The Hotbar is displayed as a 3x3 grid, with the top-left slot being the first and the bottom-right being the ninth.
 * Experience is no longer displayed
 * Horse jump bar is displayed at the top of the screen
 * Air bubbles are displayed above the hotbar
 * Pause screen
 * Clicking the "Give Feedback" button will show a message telling players to "send us a postcard" containing the address of the Mojang AB office.
 * Exit screen
 * When exiting the game, an additional screen will appear that displays "Thank you for playing MineCraft 3D" and imitates a command prompt, which can be closed out by pressing any key.


 * Sounds
 * The Mojang jingle heard when starting up this version is a parody of the SEGA jingle, most commonly heard during the early 1990s.
 * In place of the traditional clicking sound made normally when clicking on buttons in the menus, a more explosion-like sound will play.
 * All sounds have been converted to sound more "8-bit".

Trivia

 * 3D Shareware v1.34 is not supported due to being an April Fools' joke, and therefore issues affecting it will be closed as "Invalid" in the issue tracker.
 * This version has the same data version with 19w13b, despite being incompatible.
 * The only created world in this version is named "MoJang Presents" and saved under "shareware" (seen with other versions).
 * Reloading the resources via will briefly show the game without shaders. Changing language or changing resource packs in the settings will also remove the shaders for the duration of the loading screen.
 * Inside the JAR file contains a  file under the   folder. This file is a Printfox bitmap, containing the image of the developer cast of Minecraft, shown after eating the "3D" item.
 * Color phrases of the keys (e.g. "Opens Blue doors") are translated to the selected language of the game.
 * The file  contains the text found when starting/exiting the game. At the bottom of the image, the word "Cheeky!" can be seen, which cannot be seen during normal gameplay.
 * If the internal server kicks the player from the game it will then display the multiplayer server select screen, which should be normally inaccessible (since this version is in demo mode).
 * The text in the loading screen saying "Loading MINECRAF.WAD" is a reference to the file format (.wad) commonly used for storing data in the games and its sequel, most likely because according to this version's backstory, Minecraft 3D was made 1 year after the initial release of the first Doom game (1994).
 * The file is named MINECRAF.WAD and not MINECRAFT.WAD per the 8.3 filename convention of the time.
 * The Red, Blue and Yellow keys are also a reference to Doom and Doom II, which used the three keycard system extensively throughout much of their level designs. The IDKFA code also comes from the Doom games and, much like its functionality here, provides the player with the three keycards when typed in-game.
 * The "Thank you for playing MineCraft 3D" text on the exit screen is a reference to the "Thank you for playing Wing Commander." message from the game Wing Commander, which was actually an error message that was changed to the thank you message to hide the error.
 * Several cheat codes and their output messages are references.
 * PIGSONTHEWING granting flight is a reference to the idiom.
 * The output message for PIGSONTHEWING is a reference to the Homestar Runner sbemail virus.
 * HOWDOYOUTURNTHISON is a cheat code from Age of Empires II that spawns a car.
 * The name of the sound played when the Mojang logo is shown is called “awesome_intro”.
