Minecraft source code for PC, PlayStation consoles, and more leaked online - unreleased versions of the game found

A massive leak of Minecraft source code recently occurred. Researchers are diving into the "Legacy Console Edition" and sharing various findings.

MrLordSith also restored "floating islands" and found traces of a C++ programming language lesson in the code.

In addition, community members found SWF-format files. They indicate the existence of a canceled version of "Minecraft Windows Edition."

It is assumed that at one point, 4J Studios, which was responsible for various console ports, was working on a PC version (before the "Windows 10 Edition" appeared).
