Blocks Edit

Version exclusive: Blocks were also 2D in the inventory.

Unobtainable

Entities Edit

Terrain features Edit

General Edit

  • Inventory hotbar had a smaller look and contained 8 item slots, with a 9th functioning as an inventory button.
  • Blocks in the item form use their own block texture (if there are several, then side texture).

Older version Edit

An older version of the Demo is known to exist.[1] This version has a few differences from the version showcased at E3 2011.

Known differences from the version showcased at E3:

  • This version lacks an inventory button, instead a block of iron takes its place. Also, the ladder is on the 9th slot instead of the 8th slot.
  • When the crosshair is facing a block in this version, a white overlay is not shown.
  • The water texture appears to be different from the version showcased at E3, however this might just be due to hardware.

Trivia Edit

  • The inventory and hotbar block icons were seen in 2D instead of 3D.
  • The rose was going to be identical to Java's rose, but was replaced with a cyan texture because of hardware issues.[2]
  • The first internal version only had an ASCII renderer.[3]
