This page describes content that has been removed from Java Edition.
 
This feature was present in earlier versions of Java Edition, but has since been removed.

Saves limits were a feature that existed in old versions of Java Edition, where there was a limit to the number of worlds which could be saved or loaded.

In Minecraft Classic, only 5 levels (worlds) could be saved online (except for 0.30 in which worlds can also be saved offline) until sometime in 2011 or 2012 when the Classic online saving servers were taken offline.

In Minecraft Indev, only 5 levels (worlds) could be saved online expect for later Indev versions in which worlds can be saved offline as well. The time when the online Indev saving stopped working is unknown.

From Infdev 20100327 to Beta 1.2_02, only 5 worlds could be shown on the world selection screen until Beta 1.3, when the screen was revamped to allow for an unlimited number of worlds.

History

Java Edition Infdev
20100327Introduced level select screen with 5 save slots.
Java Edition Beta
1.3Removed the 5 save slot limit and added a redesigned level select screen that displays all created worlds. In future versions, this screen also allows worlds to be converted to the newer format when necessary, though conversion will be blocked if the version gap is too large—for example, worlds from very old Minecraft versions cannot be directly converted to the latest release without first being updated through one or more intermediate versions.
This section would benefit from the addition of an image.

The specific instructions are: Obtain native resolution image of the world selection screen as it appears in Beta 1.3.
