  • Loading a world via the URL now works.[3]

Trivia

  • Each subsequent patch version of 0.25 SURVIVAL TEST did not change the version number,[1] leading to one user mistakenly changing the wiki version[5] from "0.24_SURVIVAL_TEST_3" to "0.24_SURVIVAL_TEST_4",[6] a version that does not exist,[note 2] upon the release of this version. Notch saw this and most likely thought that this user was telling him that the unlabelled patches for 0.25 should have labels and that the current version should be "_04", so Notch made the next version "0.25_05 SURVIVAL TEST",[7] even though under Notch's version format used at the time the version after this one would technically be "_04".

Notes

  1. ↑ Although no direct proof from Notch exists, mobs cannot be hit by right clicking in 0.25_05, but they can in 0.24_03.
  2. ↑ "0.24" was used as the multiple reuploads of 0.25 SURVIVAL TEST were released all on the same day and the user did not realize that these had a new version number.
