Er, isn't it? I'm pretty sure all versions of Minecraft are proprietary software that cost money.

Classic used to be free for everyone as a browser applet on minecraft.net . It was always commercial, but it was free for most of its history. It was shut down for a few years because of the death of browser plugins and java applets, but then Mojang ported an older-than-the-last-classic-version version to wasm and made it available again at classic.minecraft.net (for free again)

The version on classic.Minecraft.net was deemed written from scratch to vaguely replicate classic last I heard. There were physics quirks, block textures, and entire blocks that weren’t ever in any version of classic, but were in that release.
Its seemingly too big for a programming exercise. Minecraft Classic isnt really broken or super limited like many open source remakes. Its not commercial.
The big selling point seems to be support on really old desktop devices and iOS/Android? Assuming the mobile controls are good.
