    This might actually be the first time I’ve heard a fact like that and thought “It’s gotta be older than that, right?”

    Thanks for making me feel younger I guess.

      It absolutely is older than that. I ran a tiny alpha server for three people on my parents’ old desktop computer back in 2007.

      Are we just counting after it left beta? Because it was around for years before that, and the general consensus was that the “1.0” release was just hyping sales. It was still a mess back then.

        It’s not. Indev was at the end of 2009, Infdev 2010. MC classic started early 2009, shortly after pre-classic, aka “cave game”, which was the very start of the development. Whatever you played in 2007, it was definitely not Minecraft.
