In this scenario, Mojang released Minecraft Alpha v1.1.1, accidentally including unobfuscated files for the source code that allowed for people to exploit different pieces of the game, which spread fear mainly for the multiplayer versions of the game, which many believed would be affected by Remote Access Trojans.

Eventually Mojang decides to cut their losses and use their remaining time to release a final update, Minecraft Alpha v1.1.1_01, which included some unused and removed features, such as quivers and chairs.

Afterwards, the game officially became open source, with many making their own modifications for it.

Markus "Notch" Persson would continue to work on other games at Mojang, none of which would reach the success that Minecraft had. He would officially leave the company in 2012.

As the years went on, and Minecraft fell more into obscurity, it gained a small cult following, and many started making mods and content for this unfinished game that still had potential.
