      yep, just to add to that I remember there was a big deal to rearchitect the entire engine to use a client-server architecture even when running singleplayer. This also enabled the "Open to LAN" feature in which you can start a server from your singleplayer world with a single click. https://web.archive.org/web/20120713082903/http://www.mojang.com/2012/07/minecraft-1-3-info-snapshot-w27/ https://web.archive.org/web/20120713082903/http://www.mojang...
