Differences

• The chat box in this version more closely resembled Minecraft:Java EditionTemplate:'s, due to the larger font size and the background being smaller, not casting all the way to the right like the final version does.
• Build 0016's chat box has bigger text, with the background being a bit smaller, and not casting all the way to the right as it does in the final version. This closely resembles the way the Minecraft:Java EditionTemplate:'s chat looks.

Trivia

• This is the first ever version of Minecraft to be shown on the Xbox 360.
• This build features a tutorial world completely unique to this build.<ref>Template:Ytl</ref> The tutorial level was changed to closely match the final revision at some point between this build and Minecraft:Build 0033, and the first known appearance of the final revision appears in Minecraft:Build 0054. This tutorial world, nearly identical to its appearance here, was later recovered in the February 28 2026 source code leak.<ref>Template:Ytl</ref>
