Alpha 0.1

Between Infdev 20100630 and Alpha 1.0.0, Notch released a test version of Alpha. It was supposed to be a pre-release to a big update which would change the world generation, change the caves a bit, add a new tree variant, add redstone, improve mob AI and add a bot as an option in multiplayer, but for some reason, he didn't do it, and made a few seperate updates, but Minecraft Alpha 0.1 had some of these changes, but the bot wasn't added to multiplayer, but to singleplayer and his AI improved too much & the version was deleted from 'The Word Of Notch' after 20 minutes, but some players still managed to download it.
3rd of janurary, 2024
I decided to replay some old minecraft versions on my PC. I started playing minecraft around the 20th of may, 2010. I found an old file named 'a0.1'. I didn't recall playing it, but I decided to give it a go.
The menu screen looked normal, so I started a new singleplayer world. After I created it, I immediately noticed a bunch of trees with black texture instead of the wood one and the version name in the corner said "Alpha 1.0.0 pre-release 0.1", but I ignored it and continued playing. I made a house in a mountain which looked quite good. Then the render distance turned to tiny. I tried pressing F and changing it in the settings, but it didn't work. After strip mining for about 30 minutes, my screen froze for about a second and then came back to normal. I came out of caves and instantly saw that all the windows i made disappeared and the doors disappeared. I had 2 double chests. I checked if anything was missing, but the only thing that i didn't find, was 30 blocks of wood (not planks) that weren't there. When I looked outside I saw that every tree in front of my base disappeared except the black texture ones. I was creeped out, but continued playing. I noticed a single dispenser in the air, which shouldn't be avaible until beta 1. -ish. I saw a player in the distance with a completely black skin, then my game crashed. After i re-entered the world, the dispenser was gone, the trees came back and the glass, but the wood was still missing. The render distance came back to normal, but the water disappeared from the sea. I traveled about a 100 blocks near the shore, but the water still wasn't here. When i came back home, it was flooded and there was a sign at the roof with the text: "Do not leave". I was freaked out, then I saw the player again, but my game didn't crash. I couldn't move in-game and the character was moving towards me. A sign appeared in front of me saying "Do not leave". The player was now about 5 blocks away from me then he typed in the chat: ".... . .-.. .--.". I immediately knew it was a morse code, but didn't know what it meant. I checked in the internet what it meant and the encrypted text was: "Help". I didn't know what was happening so i asked in the chat "how?". Then the player disappeared and the world came back to normal with the version in the corner saying "Minecraft Infdev". Everything out of place disappeared except for 2 signs: "do not leave" and a new one: "Leave Now". The new one had a cobblestone behind it. I decided to stay. I was mining, building and there was nothing out of ordinary. Then, my screen froze for 2 seconds. After it unfroze, There was about 30 block tall wooden pole and at the top - The player. I tried to communicate with him, but he didn't respond. I came to the pole and started chopping some wood down, and get to him. After I went under the pillar to build up, the wood disappeared with the player and everything around me turned into lava. My house was burning, I tried to build up with some cobblestone, so the lava doesn't reach me, but then, every single item in my inventory dropped like they would drop if I died, but I was alive. I saw him, floating. He was beginning to move towards me, I tried to click escape and leave the game, but I couldn't. I had 1 item left - a block of black tree. I threw it into the lava, but nothing hapenned. When the black player was right in front of me it said "-....- / ... .- .. -.. / - .... . / .-..-. -- -.-- / .. -. -....- --. .- -- . / ..- ... . .-. -. .- -- . .-..-." then, my PC froze. When I finally fixed it, there was nothing in my world except lava, so I started burning. I saw one last sign saying: "Delete before it's too late" and it had a cobblestone behind it. Then when I was at about 2 hearts, I saw the version name in the corner "Alpha 1.0.0 pre-release 0.1".
Afterwards
I deleted the version file, but when I put it in the bin and clicked the button to permanently delete it a window popped up saying "send it to x?" and I accidentally clicked "Yes". After it was deleted I heard a fading scream on my headphones. I hope nobody gets this version and the black player stays there.
