Java Edition Classic

Classic is a title given to game modes released before Indev. It was the first development phase in Minecraft. This phase was unnamed until 28 June 2010, when a blog post was written to name the development phases. Creative, and later Survival Game Modes were introduced in this version.

The releases of the survival mode in Classic were conducted in a test named Survival Test. It is a very early version of the game mode. The test had a points-based system, where the player gets points from killing some of the few early mobs. Even after Classic was phased out, the Survival Test could still be played until the 16th December 2010, when the website received a major overhaul. This mode was quietly removed from the website so people took little notice of it.

The latest version the Classic Creative game mode is, however still playable for free on Minecraft's website. It is no longer updated and only kept for historical purposes. According to Notch, he plans on "...slowly phasing it out. I won't remove it, though. Just hide it." It is playable in both 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, TNT Wars or Zombies have also been created.

Because of its outdated status, it does not support many of the main features in the current versions such as crafting, inventory, or dynamic lighting. The lack of sneaking and the addition of dyes to Beta are gradually making Classic mode redundant; however, many players still use Classic for building things that would take too long in Beta.

Classic is commonly played within a client mod known as World of Minecraft, which allows flight, superspeed, megajump and noclip. It is available for free and most users agree it helps greatly in building.

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 custom skins in both singleplayer and multiplayer.
 * Save maps made in Singleplayer Creative Classic to the online server.

People are also asking, does minecraft classical muliplayer still exist? the answer sadly is no. this is copied and pasted from notches [creators] blog. "sadly, minecraft multiplayer no longer exists, as i was getting complaints of it having lots of bugs and glitches Ect." So sorry guys. but if you want to play with people, you will have to Buy minecraft. :(
