Changes

 * Names only appear over players when their crosshair is on them.

 * Hitboxes don't work so well anymore.

Trivia

 * 0.29_01 can be changed to Survival mode by editing the  file in minecraft.jar.
 * This version was originally rediscovered in a modified state in March 2019.
 * An unmodified copy was later found by Twitter user lunasorcery on June 25, 2021.
 * In the blog post for this version, Notch states "You can now build through players". However, this feature does not work.
