level.datfrom an older version is launched, the world is no longer flat. - Loading a world from older pre-Classic versions causes all blocks to become stone
- Textures
Grass block
- Top Texture is slightly brighter.
- Grass Blocks now have side and bottom textures, rather than the same texture on each side.
- Stone has the current texture, while Cobblestone now uses a slightly smoother version of the previous Stone texture

- Moving is much slower when in midair.
Trivia[edit]
- This version is the version shown in the "Minecraft progress." video.
- Unlike other pre-classic versions, this does not use a "ddhhmm" (day-hour-minute) format, but instead a "yyyymmdd" (year-month-day) format.
- The game is renamed from "Cave Game" to "Minecraft: Order of the Stone" in this version.[3]
- The "rd" prefix in the update's name stands for RubyDung, a previous game Notch worked on and abandoned, and was used as some of Minecraft's inspiration.
- There was a version in the launcher titled "rd-20090515", however, rd-20090515 is not on the Minecraft download servers - attempting to download will download rd-161348 instead, a much later version.
Notes[edit]
- ↑ While the version name implies that it was released on May 15, it was actually released at 22:00 UTC on May 14 (which is midnight on May 15, Sweden time).
