Older versions of Minecraft game are available for gaming. Unlike newer versions of Minecraft, Classic is free to play, though it is no longer updated. It functions much the same as Creative mode, allowing players to build and destroy any and all parts of the world either alone or in a multiplayer server. There are no computer creatures in this mode, and environmental hazards such as lava will not damage the player. However, some blocks function differently as their behavior was later changed during development.
For example, in Classic mode, TNT will act like any other block and break when hit, but in newer versions it will detonate after its fuse is lit.
Players have created bots to help them build inside of Classic mode servers. One of the intended uses of these bots is replicating in-game structures. Minecraft Classic is intended to be phased out as Beta progresses, leaving Beta as the only Minecraft game. An official version of the Minecraft Classic server software is available from the Minecraft website; however, many fans have created their own custom servers with additional features, such as the ability to place water blocks, also they are usign a minecraft server plugins.
