* Removed.

== Bugs ==
'''4 bugs reported'''
* Old saved worlds from previous versions might not work.{{dubious|Although this was said in Notch's blog about the version, there is no current proof that this was the case.}}
* Slabs can't be placed under slabs without them collapsing into a full block.
* The top slab texture is invisible if there is a block directly above.
* Placing a block on a slab causes it to become a double-slab.
* Killing a spider during rain crashes the game.

== Trivia ==
=== Spider texture ===
* There is a common misconception that spiders were brown in this version.{{cn}} However, a thorough technical analysis of available evidence has revealed that they were almost certainly black.
** Various evidence has been referenced to support that spiders were brown in this version, but each one has now been countered.
*** Notch posted a screenshot<ref name="dev_brown_spiders"/> and video<ref name="killing_spiders"/> of brown spiders at October 23, 2009 14:49 UTC and October 23, 2009 22:34 UTC, respectively. Each showed "0.26 SURVIVAL TEST" in the top-left corner.
**** However, that screenshot and video were created before this version was released to the public.<ref name=:0/>
**** Thus, they prove that the spiders were brown during this version's development, but they do not prove so for this version's release.
*** An error screenshot shown to Notch in a forum had as a background an unfamiliar brown texture filling the game screen. The player said they got the error upon being killed by a spider. The screenshot shows "0.26 SURVIVAL TEST" in the corner.<ref name="error_claim"/> There have been claims that this screenshot's background is a close-up of the brown spider texture.
**** However, that screenshot's background can be reproduced using adjacent dirt blocks.
**** This almost certainly proves that the player got the error while closely facing adjacent dirt blocks and that it almost certainly was not a screenshot of a spider.
*** Someone other than Notch made a gameplay video of this version,<ref>{{ytl|fwYeQu2N22g|Minecraft Gold House v2|skintkingle}}</ref> which shows "0.26 SURVIVAL TEST" in the corner. There have been claims that unusual brown shapes in the distance are brown spiders.
**** This video is low-resolution (480p), so objects in the distance are hard to identify.
**** Any known claims of brown spiders in this video have been shown to be various arrangements of dirt and grass blocks.
** Further, evidence has now been identified that almost certainly proves that spiders were black in this version's release.
*** Here is a timeline of events supporting that they were black:
**** October 23, 2009 23:38 UTC: TIGSource forums user Xion commented on Notch's brown spider blog post, suggesting to darken the spider texture and give it red eyes.<ref name="xion_suggest">https://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=6273.msg276501#msg276501</ref>
**** October 23, 2009, 23:45 UTC: The spider.png texture file is changed at this time, and this file had not been changed by the time 0.27 Survival Test was released, as shown by spider.png in this latter version's jar having the same modify date. This means it's almost a certainty that the spider.png in this latter version (and therefore all spiders in-game) looks exactly as it did in the 0.26 Survival Test.
**** October 23, 2009, 23:48 UTC: Notch asks, "Like this?" on TIGSource forums in response to Xion's suggestion.<ref name="notch_verify">https://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=6273.msg276506#msg276506</ref> Although this question no longer has an accompanying picture, review of the evidence shows that it was more likely than not had a screenshot initially, displaying the spider texture that had been modified 3 minutes earlier.
**** October 24, 2009, 00:13 UTC: Version 0.26 Survival Test was released to the general public at roughly this time, which is the time of Notch's October 24 "Survival mode updated..." blog post.<ref name=:0/>
**** October 24, 2009, 00:29 UTC: TIGSource forums user deathtotheweird answers Notch with, "that looks better," and mentions having just been attacked by a spider.<ref name="error_claim"/>
*** In the jar of version 0.27 Survival Test, the spider.png texture file has a modify date of October 23, 2009, 23:45 UTC.
**** Since this time is roughly 28 minutes before the release of the 0.26 Survival Test, it is almost a certainty that this version of spider.png was included in that release's jar file.
**** Therefore, considering that the October 23, 2009, 23:45 UTC version of spider.png is the one defining that spiders are black with red eyes in 0.27 Survival Test, then it is almost a certainty that 0.26 Survival Test had the same black spider appearance at the time of public release.
*** Additionally, the modify date of spider.png is 7 minutes after Xion suggested changing the spider's appearance, supporting that the change was in response to his suggestion. Further support for this is Notch's follow-up post 3 minutes after the spider's texture was modified.
