Gallery[edit]

Trivia[edit]

  • The terrain.png file for this version is dated May 21, 2009 02:02 UTC+2[note 1] (in Sweden), which is after this version was released. The textures in this version are replaced with ones from Classic 0.0.13a.
    • Classic 0.0.14a_08 was released on May 20, 2009 and Classic 0.0.13a was released May 22, 2009.
    • The terrain.png in Classic 0.0.13a is bit-for-bit identical to the one in this version.
  • 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.
    • This is the last version to use this.

Notes[edit]

  1. ↑ a b c While the char.png and terrain.png files in the launcher's variant of this version have modify times of 21:25:46 and 03:03:00, respectively, they were actually modified at 20:25:46 UTC+2 and 02:03:00 UTC+2. In char.png and terrain.png files bit-for-bit identical to those in rd-161348, but from nearby versions, the modify times are 1 hour earlier. Time zone changes do not affect jar file contents, so the launcher's rd-161348 is a repackage of the original rd-161348, during which a time zone change affected its loose files.
  2. ↑ a b c The variant of rd-161348 from the launcher uses textures from Classic 0.0.13a, so its sapling texture is Oak Sapling JE2.png and its wood planks texture is Oak Planks JE2.png.
