alpha version Minecraft 1.1.1 of 2010 was discovered by one of the Twitter users. This is a real discovery for Mojang fans, as the files were considered irretrievably lost.
It is believed that the lost piece of Minecraft history was found by one of the players on his old hard drive. I'm talking about the alpha version of the game dated September 18, 2010 numbered 1.1.1, which was hunted for a long time by the Omniarchive group, creating a kind of Minecraft archive. The patch added several important things, incl. fishing rods, but also introduced a bug giving a gray screen. Mojang quickly fixed the issue by releasing patch 1.1.2 on the same day, leaving the previous production version only available for 3 hours and 25 minutes. As a result, relatively few people downloaded it, and most of them, understandably, updated the game almost as soon as possible.
This once again confirms the assertion that nothing is lost on the Internet. People from the Omniarchive found a tweet from a certain Luna dated September 18, 2010. Content - "Oh, Minecraft update!" - and the recording time (19:37) suggest that a Twitter user may have downloaded version 1.1.1 of the game in alpha phase. Hoping that somehow she still had it, the Omniarchive group contacted the girl and asked her to find out if she still had this "holy grail".
After connecting an external hard drive that contained data from an old laptop, Luna found a Minecraft .jar file with the correct timestamp (21:53 September 18, 2010). A moment later, an Internet user posted a message on the Omniarchive Discord server, and the community exploded in excitement and disbelief. Found alpha version of the game 1.1.1, which is considered lost.

In the end, Luna tweeted that the files should not be deleted, and the extent of the find is best evidenced by people's reaction to the news about it. This is what the girl's phone looked like before she turned off notifications from the social network.
So Minecraft fans can celebrate. Meanwhile, I wonder what could be more unusual. The fact that Luna had files on disk uploaded almost 11 years ago, or that she uploaded them only 89 seconds before replacing them with alpha version 1.1.2.
