Minecraft hasn't been free until now.
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoMinecraft Classic was free for a long time, it's just that it was taken offline at one point. (Note, Minecraft Classic ≠ "Minecraft Java" or whatever they're calling the primary pre-Microsoft PC version now)
- ihuman 7y ago> Minecraft Classic ≠ "Minecraft Java It kind of is. Survival was added Java Edition Classic, then was spun out into its own version with Java Edition Indev. The modern Java version is a descendant of Indev.
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoI guess, but they kept up "Minecraft Classic" for many years as a separate (and free) thing. And I'm pretty sure this is just Minecraft Classic again.
- dangus 7y agoMore of a technicality than the reality, Minecraft Classic is like a crude prototype compared to the years of additions that make up the current version of Minecraft (Java or Bedrock).
- aequitas 7y agoThere is Minecraft for raspberry pi edition which comes free with the standard raspbian desktop image. My daughter loves it. It ties in with the education stuff in that it has a python API. For the rest it is more limited compared to normal Minecraft.
