Minecraft (Partially Found Early Versions)

Assuming you haven't been living under a gaming-proof rock over the last 8 years, Minecraft is a game where everything is blocks. You can place and destroy them, some fans calling them digital Legos. However, over the last 8 years, Mojang (the company that owns Minecraft) has lost many versions of Minecraft from their databases for unknown reasons. There are seven phases of Minecraft's development: Pre-classic (May 10, 2009 - May 16, 2009) Classic (May 16, 2009 - Dec 22, 2009), Indev (Dec 23, 2009 - Feb 23, 2010), Infdev (Feb 27, 2010 - June 28, 2010), Alpha (June 28, 2010 - Dec 20, 2010), Beta (Dec 20, 2010 - Nov 18, 2011) and Release (Nov 18, 2011 - present). The last three phases are mostly available in the launcher with one or two missing versions, but the first three are a different story. For one reason or another, most versions from these phases of Minecraft's development are no longer available to play. The following is a list of the missing versions, sorted by development phase:
