It has been suggested that this page be merged with Java Edition Classic 0.0.23a_01 (remake) into Java Edition Classic 0.0.23a_01. [discuss]
If this merge affects many pages or may potentially be controversial, do not merge the page until a consensus is reached.
Reason: The version from 2009 is old and not relevant anymore, while the remake is still available to play. The 2009 version could still be described in a section.

Remake[]
Main article: Classic 0.0.23a_01 (remake)
To celebrate 10 years of Minecraft, a JavaScript remake of this version was uploaded to the Minecraft website and made it possible to play multiplayer with up to 9 others through the browser. This version can be played at classic.minecraft.net.[7]
Trivia[]
- Notch planned to refactor the version naming system after this version, removing the second zero and the "a", becoming the format "<major version>.<release number>[_<patch number>]". As an example, since this was the most recent version at the time, "0.0.23a_01" would be called "0.23_01" with such a system.[2] However, this version was never actually given this name outside of this example.
- This format was also used somewhat in Beta.
