0.0.11a^[1][2] is a version of Java Edition Classic released on May 17, 2009,^[3] at 11:56 UTC,^[4] almost 4 minutes after the release of 0.0.10a, to fix the game being unplayable.

While there is a version called "c0.0.11a" in the launcher, it is actually an early development version of 0.0.12a; although labeled "0.0.11a" in-game, it contains files from May 18, 2009 (a day later than the release of this version), and has early multiplayer code present.

This is the first publicly available version of Minecraft,^[3] posted on the TIGSource Forum labeled Minecraft (alpha).^[1]
