The sky is black due to the lack of a skybox. Most blocks appear noisier than their Minecraft counterparts, although some blocks, especially stone, are a lot different. Block textures are similar to those used in Classic, as 0.30 was the most recent version of Minecraft at the time. Even when running at a higher resolution, the game does not scale the resolution properly and the noisy appearance is retained. The graphics appear pixelated as a result of the game rendering at a low resolution. The game lacks any sort of options menu or HUD. Blocks in the world are selected by the cursor, rather than the center of the viewport. The camera only moves when the player moves the cursor a considerably large distance away from the center of the game's viewport. The camera acts differently to Minecraft's. Moving the mouse will turn the camera "smoothly", similarly to pressing F8 in Java Edition, and cannot be changed. Left- and right-clicking controls are reversed from traditional Minecraft controls left-click places blocks and right-click destroys them. The player can move around using standard W A S D controls, as well as jump using Space. No mobs exist.Īn invisible wall surrounds the world, preventing the player from escaping, similar to invisible bedrock. The only blocks in the game - air, grass block, dirt, stone, bricks, wood, and leaves - are scattered throughout the world. The same 64×64×64 block world is generated every time the game is loaded. The only block the player can place is grass, reminiscent of the very early builds of Minecraft internally called RubyDung that are available from the Minecraft launcher. An update on December 4th changed the controls and added widescreen, more blocks, and the ability to place and destroy blocks. The initial version, released on December 2nd, 2009, was more limited than any other edition of Minecraft ever released to the public, including the pre-classic version that is available from the Java Edition launcher. Minecraft 4k was an edition of Minecraftdeveloped for the Java 4K contest.
