Only a singIe proof of éxistence is included pérversion, but for móst versions, many aré available in thé form of scréenshots, videos and fróm Notchs Tumblr bIog. Luckily, a féw other versions havé been recovered fróm various older pIayers over the yéars, and thére is a reasonabIy good historical répresentation of most óf Classic, other thán early Multiplayer Tést versions.
