Template:Distinguish Java applets were the original way to run Minecraft:Minecraft. It worked by allowing the Java game to run in the Template:W for players to access without having to download a launcher or client. The pages that allowed running Minecraft in the browser were gradually taken down after the Minecraft:Minecraft Launcher was released, superceding browser play.

Hosting

Minecraft was originally hosted as an applet on Minecraft:Mojang.com before being moved to Minecraft:Minecraft.net.

Different development phases of the game were hosted at different URLs. This meant that players could use newer test builds while still having access to the stable game. The exception is mptest, which overwrites the clients used by other pages.

Minecraft:al_version is an identifier used to determine whether to pull an existing version from cache. The rest of the parameters either sets up the Java environment including classpath, natives, arguments, and entrypoint class, or sets up the visual display of the applet.

Storage locations

The .jar is downloaded to the user's temporary folder on disk. The subpath of the temporary folder differs based on the applet page the game is being played on.
