Talk:Java Edition Classic 0.0.2a

This is the talk(?) page of Java Edition Classic 0.0.2a. I don't know why it was deleted. If anyone believes they have the file for this version, they can put it here. 218.83.35.63 06:47, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

First we don't have any sources, references, or even a screenshot of any such version available.

Second This announcement was made at 16:52. The version before that was mc-161648. So the announcement was made four minutes after the release of the version. During this time, the only thing Notch can add is the version number. Because it's too short.

A similar incident occurred two versions later. And Notch hasn't released versions from 0.0.4a to 0.0.8a, assuming they already are. So this case is not unique.

First: If we have 0 screenshots of 0.0.1a, why wecan't delete rd-131648, rd-131655, mc-161607, mc-161616, mc-161625, mc-161648, 0.0.2a, 0.0.3a, 0.0.10a, ...? Second: 0.0.2a was uploaded around 13:05:07 UTC-4. 16:52 UTC is 0.0.1a. Third: 14:49 and 15:08 UTC-4 are versions from 0.0.4a to 0.0.9a. It's impossible to know, which time of every version, but at least 2 versions from 0.0.4a to 0.0.9a exsisted. 0.0.1a WAS announced. From 0.0.4a to 0.0.9a only 2 versions were announced.

Most likely thing that happened, in my opinion, is that Notch labeled it 0.0.2a to retroactively label all the previous version as 0.0.1a. That's normal for when you havent been doing versioning yet, you handwave the previous versions as "v1.something" and start anew at 2. Likely same logic happened to 0.0.9a - he probably chose 9 meaning almost 10 i.e. almost complete. See 0.0.10a - "This version was originally planned to be released to the public". Notch likely wasn't doing proper incremental versioning at this stage.  Nixinova   T   C   13:12, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

I agree but not like that SP2K26 (talk) 00:51, 7 February 2026 (UTC)

Not the first numbered version

This version is released at 17:05, while the original announcement for adding a version number is from 16:52, likely for Java Edition Classic 0.0.1a. – Unsigned comment added by Vector (talk • contribs) at 3 October 2023‎ (UTC). Sign comments with ~~~~

I doubt it. Look at the whole IRC log below. The time delay seems to be because fartron crashed and dock lost the link. Nixinova   T   C   14:21, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

(12:52:42) notch: I uploaded a new version with a (huge annoying) version label
(12:52:49) Dragonene: C418: They're... not very jelly baby-fish-like perhaps
(12:52:56) fartron: i think it's more java's fault than yours
(12:53:04) C418: well, nobody knows what they are anyway
(12:53:07) Dragonene: :P
(12:53:20) notch: it doesn't usually do that, fartron.. I think it might be lwjgl
(12:53:25) fartron: does your generator make caves?
(12:53:27) fartron: i haven't found any
(12:53:34) Dragonene: I think the purple of the fish is a bit too close to the background color
(12:53:36) notch: no, not yet. It will. =D
(12:53:37) Dragonene: but hey whatever :P
(12:53:53) notch: did the mouselook get better?
(12:58:44) Dragonene: notch: what do you think? :)
(12:58:55) notch: I thought it looked lovely. =)
(12:59:07) dock: whoops I was away
(12:59:29) fartron left the room (quit: Read error: Operation timed out).
(12:59:29) dock: looks cool :D
(12:59:31) Dragonene: The purple of the fish is a bit low-contrast compared to the background, and the effect of the bubbles on the line isn't quite pronounced enough, the bubbles look flat
(12:59:38) Dragonene: but I can't be bothered to fix that.
(12:59:41) Dragonene: Anything else?
(12:59:43) notch: I think fartron crashed :-O
(13:00:23) Dragonene: dock: Note: Not a single dithered pixel!
(13:00:47) Succendo [dragonmaw@c-98-247-110-202.hsd1.wa.comcast.net] entered the room.
(13:01:13) notch: dock: Could you check if the mouse look works better now? =)

(13:01:27) dock: link again plz!
(13:01:30) fartron: aha!
(13:01:33) fartron: the good wireless is back!
(13:01:42) fartron: thank you anonymous neighbor!
(13:01:44) notch: phew, I thought I crashed you
(13:02:02) fartron: no i have been using a weak signal and it crapped out so i tried the good one again
(13:02:12) notch: \o/
(13:02:51) fartron: yes, this is great since i can play online again
(13:02:59) Dragonene: dock: Not that much is happening at all, but am I sort of moving in the right direction...?
(13:03:39) dock: dragonene: http://www.deadpanda.com/lj/fishy.png
(13:03:40) Dragonmaw left the room (quit: Ping timeout: 180 seconds).
(13:03:49) dock: I think you could still be more bold with colours and contrast
(13:04:11) dock: this isn't a great variation but I think there are under exploited colours going on :) 
(13:04:21) dock: I think this is great though
(13:04:29) dock: you're making great progres 
(13:04:36) fartron: yes i also think that is great Dragonene
(13:04:49) dock: notch,no better
(13:05:07) notch: does it say "0.0.2a" in the top left corner of the applet?

The "Errors" tab is superfluous and only confuses the reader. Fedea (talk) 17:38, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
