Bugs

 * If you are at or above layer 89 after the demo expires, you can still interact with the world at or above layer 89.
 * If your window is at it's smaller size while you are playing the demo and you enlargen the window all of the blocks become transparent revealing underground caverns.

Trivia

 * A purchased version of minecraft has unused code from the demo, like "demo.day.1=This demo will last five game days, do your best!".
 * The following shows what PC Gamer changed to the world: 53 Red Wool, 90 Snow Blocks, 112 Black Wool, 2 Chests, A Sign, 22 Gunpowder, A nearly broken iron pickaxe, A nearly broken iron axe, A nearly broken flint and steel, 4 Coal, 5 Bread, 4 String, 12 Torches, 2 Sticks, and 3 Compasses.
 * The demo has files for functions added in later updates, such as the sound effects for wolves, weather and pistons. However, they are not used.
 * If you dig directly underneath the sign telling you how to open the chest, you can find a chest that contains 22 gunpowder.
 * The Nether is available in the demo. An easy way to access it is to make it by creating casting lava into obsidian directly in the shape of a portal since five Minecraft days aren't necessarily enough to find 3 diamonds in order to make a diamond pickaxe.
 * If you go to sleep in a bed and skip the night, it will remove that time from your clock, decreasing your play time.
 * If you have a bucket with you after the demo expires, you can use that bucket to milk a cow despite not being able to interact with anything else.
 * You can also interact with boats after the demo expires.
