To celebrate 10 years of Minecraft, a JavaScript remake of this version was uploaded to the Minecraft website, and made it possible to play multiplayer with up to 9 others through the browser. This version can be played at classic.minecraft.net.

Trivia

• Notch planned to refactor the version naming system after this version, removing the second zero and the "a". As an example, since this was the most recent version at the time, "0.0.23a_01" would be called "0.23_01" with such a system. However, this version was never actually given this name outside of this example.
  • Would follow the format "<major version>.<release number>[_<patch number>]".
    • This format was also used somewhat in Beta.
