In the afternoon, I was doing research on the Alpha 1.2.3 series. I saw that 1.2.3_03 was not in any update log, nothing.. It was weird to see that there was no _03 in the launcher too. Did Notch purposely skip the version? Was it only a private-testing version? Who knows. Then, I stumbled upon this forum post and there was a link to something, the post was dated November 26, 2010, in the early hours of midnight. I clicked the link, and it instantly downloaded a minecraft.jar.
Now, I got the .jar, made a .json on it and it appeared on the launcher. I clicked "Play" then, it loaded up the usual Minecraft title screen. I clicked Singleplayer, then made a new world. There it was, Alpha 1.2.3_03. The version that "never existed".
More replies said the usual, "That's fake, why would that happen?" "what? thats never happened to me, are you trying to get attention?" I scrolled down more the thread, I see a screenshot, the version is also Alpha 1.2.3_03 and the same sign said, "Stop.".
