I'm not sure but I think I have this version on my old computer. I copied it on a pendrive. https://web.archive.org/web/20230514113741/https://imgur.com/a/8gEAsaW 178.42.9.67 10:55, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

I have this version on [redacted] Patrikkrajcovic23 12:05 29 December 2019

That isn't 0.0.9a. That's not only rd-161348, but it's also the launcher version. The MD5 Checksum for both files is 80882b8936a5c8d91500838a6660b504, and the SHA256 Checksum for both files is cb8bda0074ac44d8d26bfe0c101f08edeb2291915f32ad1d2909831cd84934e0. The files in both jars have dates from 2013. Flux3on (talk) 05:32, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

Aight. I found this version on a thing called Minecraft: The Hidden Versions. It has files from all different time periods in 2009, and 2013. I would like people to confirm if this is legit. I have the .jar and .json files. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Chancemanroxtv (talk • contribs) at 1:03, 30 March 2020 (UTC). Please sign your posts with ~~~~

The Hidden Versions are well-known by archivers as fakes, unfortunately. I will add a Talk subject with a helpful link. --Vistabuntu (talk) 15:39, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

Yeah there're an rd-131648 and rd-131655 in internet archive but they only run rd-132211 and there is a 0.0.9 but runs rd-161348 ~2026-GhastCreakingCopper1546 (talk) 22:51, 4 February 2026 (UTC)

If you might have a copy of this version, please take a moment to read "Common Fakes/How to Recognize Them" . and assess whether the copy you have is a fake.

Many people have been deceived by fake copies of missing versions, and yet there is always a possibility that someone has a legitimate copy. If you have assessed that your copy is not a common fake, Omniarchive (a Minecraft versions archive) would like to know about this.

Well, This version is not on Omniarchive, Not on MCVersions.Net Not On Betacraft launcher But I finded it On the official Minecraft launcher but its a Remake by nasko222 So i Do not have this version TheMinecraft2009Lover (talk) 18:56, 6 September 2025 (UTC) Edit: I added c0.0.3a and c0.0.9a, both remakes, not on the launcher without adding it. Edit 2: Common Fakes/How to Recognize Them Sadly, as with a lot of popular game series, Minecraft also suffers from a large number of fake versions, particularly of older versions of the game. Even more, unfortunately, many of these are distributed online and believed to be real by most and are, in most cases, easier to find than the real versions. It is therefore important that these versions can be recognised and identified as fake so that they are not labelled as being legitimate, and luckily, there are a few ways to identify fake versions. It is also important to note that the internet has been scoured almost entirely for versions, which means that it is highly likely that if a "missing" version is found online that it is fake, particularly if it was found with ease or uploaded fairly recently. Common Fakes There are some websites that are known for distributing fakes; the most well-known of these is Luigi2600's site, which can be found on Internet Archive. Most of the versions found on this site are fake, often modified versions of versions that are actually found; in many cases, just the version number has been edited. Any that are legitimate are available in Omniarchive and other trusted places, so there is no need to download any versions from this site. Due to most believing these versions to be real, they are often distributed on sites such as YouTube and in various Minecraft communities. Additionally, if a link is found to any zip known as the "Hidden Versions," it is likely from Luigi2600's site. How to Recognize a Fake Despite the worrying amount of fakes, it is actually very easy to distinguish a fake from an original version. To do this, a person must have a program that is able to open .zip (and by extension .jar) files, such as 7zip or WinRAR. Upon opening a minecraft.jar with one of these programs, said person should be able to see a folder that reads "META-INF." For example, here is an image of in-20091223-2 opened in WinRAR with its META-INF folder circled. If the .jar features no folder labelled "META-INF," then it is almost certainly fake. Next, the person should open the META-INF folder and check the date of the files inside. They should all feature the same date and time, and if this is not the case, then the .jar has definitely been modified. Also, the date of the files should correspond (although under certain circumstances, it may be a small amount of time before) with the release date of the version in question, which can be found in the tables above. This is because the date and time listed on these files is the exact time that the .jar was compiled and the certificate was issued. An exception to this is the rd- versions featured in the official launcher, which feature dates from 2013. This is because they were compiled in 2013 and added to the launcher, likely from very old source code that was recovered from before Minecraft was even public; it's also possible that they are recreations. For example, here is an image of the META-INF folder from in-20091223-2 showing the date of the files, which corresponds to the release date of December 23, 2009. In addition, below is a screenshot showing the dates from the META-INF folder of the supposed "0.24," a version that was never actually released, on Luigi2600's site. Note that the dates differ from each other and that they are not in 2009, they are from 2014-2015. As should be expected from a Survival Test version. Also, this is a dev build not the final version.

The version was never released publicly, that's why you can't find it downloadable anywhere. It was never in the launcher, nor was c0.0.3a, so the version in your launcher is probably fake. If you do somehow have the official version on the launcher, could you show what is inside the file? 👁 Image

the versions of 0.0.3 and 0.0.9 are remakes not the real ones TheMinecraft2009Lover (talk) 15:07, 9 September 2025 (UTC)

Where i can download?, i want to play those remakes SP2K26 (talk) 15:57, 12 February 2026 (UTC)

There is a file on the internet archive called ''MASSIVE Minecraft Old Version Archive'' that has a 0.0.9a but that will run Java Edition pre-Classic rd-161348 like what happens to Java Edition pre-Classic rd-20090515 2800:CD0:1054:1600:28B8:1027:3B8F:88C1 20:45, 30 January 2026 (UTC)

You could recognize by using programs like WinRAR and look if there's a meta-inf folder then check the dates SP2K26 (talk) 21:59, 11 February 2026 (UTC)
