Pre-Classic is the name given to the prototype versions of Minecraft (what is now Java Edition) developed before Classic. It was the very first development phase of the game, lasting for less than a week; very early development of Minecraft started around May 10[1] or May 11[2] and ended on May 16, 2009. The phase was originally named 'Cave Game' until the game was changed to 'Minecraft: Order of the Stone' then finally to 'Minecraft'.

The textures used for grass and cobblestone blocks were from RubyDung, and internally, the game's class files referred to it as 'RubyDung'. Other blocks and items were then added, such as saplings, dirt, stone, planks, and more.

Little is known about this development phase, since it was never publicly released, and only Notch could test the versions. Some versions in this phase could previously be seen in videos on Notch's YouTube channel, though most of the videos have been censored in most countries for unknown reasons.

A tech test was released on May 10, 2009, and was shown in Notch's 'Cave game tech test' video (archive).

Five pre-Classic versions are now available to the public through the launcher, with the earliest being rd-132211, originally developed on May 13, 2009.

Features[edit]

  • Human Spawning: pressing (G)
  • The ability to respawn somewhere else on the world by pressing (R)
  • Placing blocks by left-clicking
  • Destroying blocks by right-clicking

Trivia[edit]

  • Breaking a block will not drop anything, because the ability to drop an item was not yet added.
  • The texture of the human mob is from another one of Notch's games, Zombie Town.
  • When loading a pre-Classic version using the launcher, instead of it being called 'Minecraft' it is simply titled 'Game'.
  • The name 'Order of the Stone' was later reused in Minecraft: Story Mode as a legendary group of adventurers.
  • The naming system in this phase was 'id-ddhhmm', where 'id' stands for the game's initials ('rd' for RubyDung, an earlier project of Notch's, and 'mc' for Minecraft in later, public versions of pre-Classic), dd was the day of the month, hh was the hour released, and mm was the minute released, so rd-132211 was released on May 13 at 22:11 (10:11 pm). An exception to this system is rd-20090515, which just uses the full date in year-month-day format.
  • The majority of all of pre-Classic versions that were made are now considered lost as their downloads no longer exist.
  • In the test, the ability to place and break blocks was not added yet

When is the Caves and Cliffs update coming to Minecraft? Minecraft update 1.17 is one of the game's most anticipated updates ever, finally changing cave generation and adding tons of cool things under the game's blocky surface. New mobs, new blocks, and much more await players in this update, but it's unfortunately still a long way out. Here's everything we know about the release date for Minecraft version 1.17, the Caves and Cliffs update.

Minecraft 1.17 Update Release Date

Minecraft update 1.17 is currently scheduled to release sometime in mid-2021. The Caves and Cliffs update will release simultaneously on both the Java and Bedrock versions of the game, but Java players can test out the new features early by playing the latest snapshot version.

There is no exact release date at the moment for the Caves and Cliffs update, but the Nether update was released last June, so there's a good chance that 1.17 will be released sometime this summer.

What Does the Caves and Cliffs Update Add to Minecraft?

Minecraft version 1.17 will add new mobs and blocks to the game, and it will overhaul Minecraft's cave generation system to create larger and more diverse underground areas. The in-game height limit will be expanded by 64 blocks upwards and downwards, so caves will run deeper than ever before.

Currently, Minecraft caves are simple and typically feature nothing more than small caverns or narrow passageways. With version 1.17, several new cave types will be added to the game to make underground exploration much more engaging and rewarding. Large aquifers, gigantic caverns with stalagmites, and long winding 'spaghetti' caves are just a few new additions to Minecraft's cave generation formula.

Mining will also become a bit more complex with the Caves and Cliffs update. Minecraft 1.17 increases the depth and height for every world, so there is much more to explore underground. To compensate for the increased depth, certain ores will be more common at certain depth levels to allow for more strategic mining. You may be able to find iron more commonly close to the surface, while gold is plentiful near the diamond layers deep underground.

Most ores have also been retextured for accessibility reasons, so your favorite Minecraft metals will look a bit different when you find them in the Caves and Cliffs update. New ores like copper and amethyst can also be found in the new caves, so even the most experienced Minecraft players have a lot to look forward to.

Above ground, mountains will be getting an overhaul. These are the reason why the height limit was expanded alongside the depth limit. There are five new mountainous sub-biomes to discover in the Caves and Cliffs update, and there will be new mobs like goats in these areas. There will also be new mobs to discover in existing biomes, such as the adorable axolotl and the fan-voted glow squid.

The Caves and Cliffs update will add a lot of new features to Minecraft and address several popular fan criticisms about the game, so there is understandably a lot of excitement surrounding version 1.17. While there isn't an exact release date yet, the Minecraft Caves and Cliffs update will likely be released in the first half of 2021. Of course, delays are incredibly common with the current state of the world, so the update could slip to the later half of the year if it's not ready. Eager Java players can install the latest snapshot to test out some of the new features, but everyone else will have to wait until the official release.

Minecraft is available now on PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices.
