mptestlevels.zip is a pack of Java Edition worlds uploaded by Notch on minecraft.net and shared in the #minecraft chat on irc.esper.net on June 8, 2009.[1] It contains the worlds used in Notch's test server during the Classic Multiplayer Test,[2] before the public release of the Classic server software. The levels contained within appear to be numbered from oldest to latest used.[3] The exact contents of this pack are unknown, as the file has not been archived and is currently lost.
