They said it couldn't be done... I welcome you to try!
For a while, Classic was nicely kept and maintained however in the last years it has fallen to decay. Project Omega aims to restore Minecraft Classic to its former glory by re-adding level saving and loading, fixing sound and even making a modern multiplayer client that is not dependent on login servers or heartbeats and serverlists that could go offline at any moment. Project Omega even adds more optional content to the game, like extra blocks and the ability to place water and lava. However writing a server that supports these functions is up to you. Best of all, no fiddler or other software required!

I hear you asking, where do I get this so called Omega Client?
Instructions: Download and extract .ZIP with a extraction utility then click RUN.BAT to play!
Mac and Linux natives are included but I got no idea how to start it in other Operating Systems so you are on your own, please post results if you are successful.
Troubleshooting: If for whatever reason you can not get this to run, please install Java 6 and run the JAVA6.BAT file to see if it runs. If you get a EXCEPTION_GUARD_PAGE then use the correct Java for your OS, use 64 bit Java for 64 bit OS and 32-bit java for 32-bit. Mixing and matching Java VMs and OSes doesn't usually end well.
Server software:The official Multiplayer server for Omega Classic Multiplayer is 83.171.240.99You will need Omega 0.2.1 to connect to the server The port is 25565 (default) If you are interested in making a server for this i suggest you head over to here to read about the classic protocol. The protocol is largely the same except that the client does not authenticate with minecraft.net and there are new blocks with the id of 50 51 52 etc when vanilla classic only has 49 blocks. You can PM me if you want to talk about the protocol and/or suggest stuff . You are allowed to do anything with this including re-upload to other places, use at your own risk and most importantly, Enjoy~
More updates to come, including a Official Server and extra client<->server functions like changing window title and displaying messages and countdowns on screen.
Its finally here! Temple Master 1.0.0 has been released! You finally get what you have been asking for, a vanilla temple master. This became possible since 1.8 because minecraft gained the ability to have clickable signs. Before 1.8 signs could not have been made clickable without a server plugin.
Of course if you want you can use the server version which lets you play in older versions. Once again backwards compatibility will always be presverved.
The next update will probably also bring a Server Jar that works with 1.7.4. I'm trying to make it multiversion with MC 1.8 so you can play on regular servers too!
I haven´t played minecraft in a long time, I kinda lost interest with the newer versions. (I joined when the game was at beta 1.5)
I like this mod a lot!
What I would like to see added is the old fire spreading mechanics. Where you could burn down entire forests. I think it was nerved in beta 1.6.
This would be pretty good to add, but maybe make it toggable?
