rd-161348 is a pre-Classic version made on May 16, 2009, at 11:48 UTC.[1]

A version called "rd-161348" is available in the launcher. However, it contains a texture file from Classic version 0.0.13a and signature files from 2013.[note 1]

Additions[edit]

Blocks
  • Oak Sapling JE1.png Sapling[note 2]
    • Pressing 6 will select it
    • Will disappear if in darkness or not on Dirt or Grass

Changes[edit]

Textures
  • The launcher variant of this version uses textures from later versions[note 2]
Gameplay
  • Particles now follow the player's location (a player facing up will see the full particle rather than a sliver of the side)
General
  • Made the crosshair graphic thicker
  • Game is no longer in fullscreen mode

Fixes[edit]

  • Fixed rendering glitch where the world became invisible at certain angles

Gallery[edit]

  • All available blocks in the launcher's variant of this version. Note the plank and sapling textures introduced in Classic 0.0.9a and 0.0.13a, respectively.[note 1][note 2]

Trivia[edit]

  • The terrain.png file for this version is dated May 21, 2009 03:02 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 28, 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 The char.png and terrain.png files in the launcher's variant of this version have last-modified times of 21:25:46 and 03:03:00, respectively, in UTC+3. In char.png and terrain.png files from nearby versions that are identical to those in rd-161348, their last-modified times are exactly an hour earlier, i.e. UTC+2. Since time zone changes do not affect jar file contents, 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.
