If you’ve ever felt bad about keeping all your old files in a mess, here’s something to make you feel better, as a much sought-after early version of Minecraft has finally been found – thanks to one player who made backups of her old laptop.
Build Alpha 1.1.1 was apparently a “long-running meme” and “holy grail” for Minecraft archivist group Omniarchive, as the historians had never been able to track the elusive build down.
Luckily, someone spotted a 2010 tweet by Luna in which she discussed the Minecraft update, and messaged her to ask if she had a copy of the build.
As spotted by Kotaku, Twitter user @lunasorcery explained in a thread that she’d helped a group of Minecraft historians find a long-lost early version of the game.
