Bug fixes and tweaks could happen throughout the week, appearing on the game's development blog, with major additions and changes appearing in 'Seecret' Friday updates, leaving the game's players to discover the included new features.
One of Alpha's most striking differences to modern versions of Minecraft is the bright green sort of texture used by all foliage blocks, as biomes were not implemented at the time.ĭuring the Alpha phase, Minecraft was updated very frequently due to Notch working full-time on Minecraft since June 1, 2010, and having a small company made later (Mojang). There was only one type of game mode playable in this version - Survival.
Alpha was the fifth phase in the development cycle of Minecraft (after Infdev) and was the fourth Minecraft development stage to have some of its versions released to the public.
