"Middle Classic" refers to a period of Java Edition Classic that sits between the two developmental tests run in Classic, Multiplayer Test and Survival Test. It immediately preceded Survival Test (hosted on a different applet page to Middle Classic) and contiguously preceded Late Classic (hosted on the same applet page). It began on June 8, 2009, when multiplayer was officially released by Notch in the form of the latest Multiplayer Test at the time, 0.0.16a_02, being moved onto the main applet page, /play.jsp, from /mptest.jsp. It is therefore a continuation of Early Classic, which was what was on /play.jsp until then. Middle Classic lasted until 0.0.23a_01, after which Survival Test began.

Creative is the only game mode present. Multiplayer continued to receive updates during this period.
