1. Alpha Version 1.1.1 introduced the fishing rod, crouching, 5 new paintings, the mouse sensitivity slider & the music & sound settings. But, because of a bug with the gamma value, on non-intel graphics cards, the players ENTIRE SCREEN would go grey until they closed the window. Not just the minecraft window, THE WHOLE SCREEN would just be grey. Also, because of a huge influx of players trying to download it at the same time, the download speed was incredibly slow. And, because of people sharing their bugs with it, after 205 minutes of being online, they took it down & replaced it with Alpha 1.1.2. Also, this was the last Seecret update, and was the only Seecret update to be released on a Saturday.

2. In Minecraft Infdev, there were Obsidian Walls & Brick Pyramids. But, when you think of Infdev, usually you think of something like this: http://tinyurl.com/3suehd3z , but, for most versions of Infdev, it looked like Alpha did, just very early alpha, probably because that's what it is. For most of Infdevs development, it looked like this: http://tinyurl.com/wukhvff2 , which looks... weird, but its not the first image at ALL.

3. The BIGGEST update to ever exist in Minecraft was Beta 1.8. Not Minecraft 1.8, BETA 1.8. I think I need a list to cover it...
  - Biomes (they used to just be different looking things, but weren't generated very differently from each other, because they were just slight changes of eachother)
  - Experience
  - SPRINTING
  - Silverfish
  - Melons
  - Pumpkins
  - Vines
  - Fence Gates
  - Removed the Far Lands.
  - Added the HUNGER BAR
  - Flying in creative mode.
  - Mineshafts
  - Villages
  - Strongholds
  - Ravines
  - Etc...

4. There is a chance when you open minecraft that the title screen will say 'minceraft' instead.

5. The minecraft title screen world was found: 2151901553968352745 The pack.png world seed was found: 3257840388504953787 (NOTE: the picture with the seed was taken in Minecraft Alpha, but in Alpha you couldn't input a custom seed yet, so when loading it, use Beta to get the closest result, and the waterfall will not be there :( ) The herobrine world seed was found: 478868574082066804

enjoy!!!
