    The development period of the alpha version of Minecraft began on June 29, 2010 and ended on December 20, 2010. Although this version limited the game mode to Survival, we could see a preview of the Multiplayer mode. During this period, Notch was developing the game full time, so the updates were very frequent. These were the first versions that had to be purchased, the price increased in later stages.

During this stage, Minecraft was only available for single player in Survival mode and the versions were not listed, they were all named after Minecraft Infdev.
