Stand alone client

The minecraft stand alone client was released on June 30th 2010.

The stand alone client currently only runs Alpha and is able to run survival multiplayer as well.

There are some commands/Function Keys that work in both standalone and in-browser:

-Pressing F5 will toggle between first and third person. It is not advised since your cursor is always on your head.

-Pressing and holding F6 will open up a graph, which shows the performance of the game.

-Pressing F11 will toggle fullscreen and windowed mode.

The stand alone client can be stretched from a corner for a bigger window for huge resolutions.
