Important Note for Players & Developers

This project includes built-in native downloaders and resource downloaders.

You do not need to drag and drop LWJGL, Sound Resources Folder from 2014 manually.
Everything required will be downloaded automatically the first time you run the launcher.

Give the launcher time to download the resources and you will start hearing audio.

Project Lineage & Status

• Minecraft Classic 0.30 (Mojang, 2009–2012)
  → The original foundation of Classic gameplay.

• MCraft-Client / Minecraft Classic Forever
  → A decompiled and cleaned Java version of Classic created by ManiaDevelopment, essential in the Classic modding scene.
  Repo remains active on GitHub, creator ceased maintenance in March 2014.
  Original website (maníadevelopment.com) is now defunct (offline since ~2014).

• ClassicCube, OpenClassic, and others
  → Built upon MCraft-Client, often beyond its original intent (e.g., ClassicCube ported to C# to focus on multiplayer).

• Classic-Reborn (this project)
  → Builds directly on the Java MCraft-Client lineage. Expands Classic 0.30 with infinite terrain, mobs, commands, custom launcher — without abandoning the Classic or Java DNA.
