Still, this free version of the game isn't without its charms and could potentially work as a demo for those who are considering a full purchase, want something for their kids to enjoy on a rainy day, or who just don't have the money to burn on games right now. Keep that in mind and don't get too invested in what you build! However the major downside to consider is that you can't save the game! Any progress, creations, or discoveries you make in this browser version of Minecraft are lost when you close the game, and there's no way to get them back. It even has multiplayer with other browser players - just send your session's URL to up to nine other players. There are only 32 different types of blocks (with most of them being dyed wool), all the original bugs are in there, although you can build as much as you want.

Specifically, this version of the game has only creative mode from Minecraft Classic, with none of the comparatively modern additions like mobs and survival mechanics - you're essentially in a time machine back to 2009.
