The survival version was reuploaded at 18:58 UTC and the creative at 19:00 UTC.​

A 2011 recompiled version of the Creative variant is available in the launcher, mislabeled as 0.30_01c, and is a renewed version of 0.30 Creative. Both have identical gameplay. A hash for "0.30_01a" was included in a list of version hashes compiled by Searge, but it was actually for a texture pack for 0.30, included in Mojang's archives by mistake.
