Java Edition:Infdev

Infdev was the fourth development phase of Minecraft, adding infinite terrain. Infdev worlds are able to be saved using the Alpha save format, meaning that the items on this list are the first to be able to reproduced and survive until the current day using vanilla methods. However, there are external tools which allow the user to convert Indev worlds into a more modern format, making them playable in current versions.
