The following is a list of versions that are and not included in the Minecraft launcher (as of Sunday, July 8, 2018). If a version is labelled as edited, it means that the META-INF files in the jar are dated differently from the release date. This is because when these versions were added (in 2013), the META-INF had to be renewed. Other then that, nothing else is changed in the versions, with the exceptions of the Pre-Classic and Classic versions looking and feeling completely different from their original counterparts. (Versions labelled as edited are currently in the Minecraft launcher. If a version is not labelled as edited, it is not in the Minecraft launcher).

From Pre-Classic:

  • The original rd-132211 (the launcher version is edited).
  • The original rd-132328 (the launcher version is edited).
  • The original rd-20090515 (the launcher version is edited).

From Alpha:

Take the phrase "launcher version is edited" with a grain of salt for this section. The sources that I got my information from say that the Alpha versions that are in the launcher may or may not be the originals. My sources, on their spreadsheet of versions say this, "checksum matches launcher version". That could mean that we either got it from the launcher (or from somewhere that got it from launcher), or that we have the original and the launcher has the original version.

Alpha v1.1:

  • The original Alpha v1.1.0 (AKA Seecret Friday Update 9) (the reuploaded version is not available, and the pre-reuploaded version in the launcher is recompiled differently and has a completely different checksum than the original version).
