Indev (short for " elopment") was the third phase of Minecraft's development cycle. It succeeded Survival Test from the Classic development phase, and was the second Minecraft phase to have some of its versions released to the public. Indev was phased out in favor of Infdev after infinite maps were to be added into the game.
Indev was initially released on December 23, 2009 after Notch received requests to let the community try out new features he was implementing. Indev version 0.31 was put to the public at minecraft.net/indev and available only to people who had purchased the game[1] (which cost €9.95[2]). New features currently contained a more complex and realistic lighting scheme than Classic's and support for MD3 mob models, demonstrated by Rana, Beast Boy, Steve and Black Steve. Indev received 29 updates after this, gaining a few fundamental features to Minecraft as it went, which are listed below. During its lifespan, some updates were devoted mostly for testing new things, like torches or fire. As it progressed, its gameplay became standardized to that of Minecraft today, however with far fewer features.
Players would play on a limited map with dimensions determined by the shape and size characteristics. Gameplay was dramatically different from Survival Test and paved the way for future game modes to come. Players now had to use tools and weapons, gather and prepare food differently, utilize crafting and smelting and be wary of the time of day. Like Survival Test however, players still had to save their map to a file on their computer and reload it if they died.
Indev's limited maps soon raised opportunity for a game-changing idea. On February 23, 2010, Indev received its last update and work on Infdev started, a new mode that would use maps that would have no boundaries and would go on forever. Indev remained available on minecraft.net during Infdev's life and through much of Alpha. In September 2010, Indev along with Infdev was removed from the site, leaving Indev without a way to officially be played to this day, as no Indev versions are available in the launcher. A few functions that Indev contained are no longer seen in Minecraft today, such as picking out map characteristics, having to save and reload maps, and the isometric map viewer. These were replaced by biomes, automatic map saving, respawning upon death and a new infinite map viewer (which has been removed).
java.lang.NullPointerException error. However, there are a few versions that still work, including Indev versions 0.31 20091223-1459 to 0.31 20100110.| Version history | |||
