Java Edition Early Classic

Early Classic refers to 18 versions of Classic released from May 16 to May 28, 2009, that succeeded pre-Classic and preceded Multiplayer Test. Creative singleplayer was the only mode available at this time and there were only a limited amount of blocks available in-game. 
== Additions ==
; Blocks
*Bedrock
**Unobtainable to the player. 
*Sand and Gravel
**Only appear naturally in one block-thick beach (usually by water or in the middle of a landscape). These beaches were always at and below ocean level.
**Rather than falling by turning into a falling block entity, sand instantly appears at the lowest point it could go when placed above an air block, without any sort of falling animation.
*Gold Ore
**Found in higher elevations, gold ore was often found in exposed surface-level blobs.
*Iron Ore
**Spawns in huge blobs, sometimes big enough to protrude into 3 caverns, and can have as many as 167 ores.
*Coal Ore
*Logs and leaves
**Spawn as trees found around the map.
*Water and Lava
**In the early water test, water rendered as an opaque block. With the addition of lava, both liquids rendered as transparent. Lava was later changed to opaque.
; World generation
*An infinite ocean surrounds the map.
*"Huge" level size.
*Caves
; Building
*Right-click switches between placing and removing blocks.
; GUI
*In-game version number at the top left of the screen.
**Includes FPS (frames per second) and chunk updates.
== Trivia ==
* Once during the development of Java Edition Classic 0.0.14a, Notch tested vertex offsets of blocks, but was not satisfied, likely in part due to a graphic bug which showed block previews and highlights as cubes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bj4eZcldAEo
