Pre 0.0.0 May 10, 2009
  • Development on "Cave Game" started
  • Physics created
  • Cobblestone and Grass block made with the same graphics from Notch's game RubyDung
  • Video released about the "cave game" test.[2]
  • Note that blocks and physics were not added in rd-132211, in the video of Cave Game, you couldn't place or destroy blocks (he would show that if you could and a flashing light would blink on the block when he faces it like in rd-132211) and grass blocks can be seen in more than one layer (it's impossible to have grass blocks on a different layer in rd-132211, even if you load a world with grass blocks above the grass layer, the grass blocks will turn in to cobblestone) and since there is no versions before rd-132211 exept for Pre 0.0.0 and there's no versions like the video showed, that means the video was Pre 0.0.0 even though it was released on the same day rd-132211 was made.
