rd-161348 is a pre-Classic version made on May 16, 2009, at 11:48 UTC, which added saplings, made changes and fixed a bug.[1] This is the last archived version of pre-Classic.
This version is available in the launcher; however, the copy in the launcher was last modified on August 6, 2013, making it technically not original. Additionally, it appears to be tampered with further, as it also contains the terrain.png from Classic 0.0.13a, as well as signature files from 2013.
This version is duplicated in the launcher, as attempting to play rd-20090515, instead downloads rd-161348.

Trivia
- The launcher variant of this version uses textures from later versions.[note 1]
- The
terrain.pngfile used in the launcher build of this version is dated May 21, 2009 03:02 UTC+2 (in Sweden) and is bit-for-bit identical to the one used in Classic 0.0.13a. - The "rd" before the version number stands for RubyDung, a game Notch was working on before Minecraft, whose codebase was later reused for Minecraft.
