Embrace the Past with Minecraft Classic

No, lovingly nostalgic, by releasing Minecraft Classic!

You can run Minecraft Classic in your browser and you’ll soon see why. With just 32 blocks to build with, all the original bugs, and an (inter)face only a mother could love, Minecraft 2009 is even more glorious than we remembered!
