I was confused because I thought Minecraft was originally Java, but that is Javascript. Wikipedia explains:

>On 7 May, 2019, coinciding with Minecraft's 10th anniversary, a JavaScript recreation of an old 2009 Java Edition build named Minecraft Classic was made available to play online for free.

Wow! I had no idea, it even supports up to 9 additional players.

The full game was available on minecraft.net for many years. At times it was the only way to play multiplayer when the authentication server would go down.
