It may be old, but would not have been accurate even back then. You couldn't ever play Indev on archive.org because the jar file was missing. Same thing with old (earlier than 0.30) classic versions. Archive.org never had those jar files, because if they did, they still would. Archive.org doesn't delete webpages that its page archiving bots have found and archived, nor does it delete any archived resources (such as png files, jar files, css files, etc) that are associated with pages that are in its archives.

You'd be surprised.
Yeah, orphaned is correct. People can ask archive.org admins to remove files they don't want people to have access to, and more often than not, they comply. No clue why Mojang/Microsoft would WANT the old jars removed, but who knows. Someone else masquerading as Mojang could've asked for the file's removals, too, because from what I've seen, all you have to do is ask.

Are you saying it is possible for some of the versions we now consider lost forever, to at one point have been available on archive.org, but have since been deleted?
I highly doubt that. Archive.org is so strong in support of the concept of archiving online content, that they would likely demand proof that the DMCA takedown request was legit (to make sure sure that it isn't just some troll sending it), before complying. Furthermore, they are often seen as a museum by others, preserving digital history, more than as a piracy site. As such, even content owners like Mojang are less likely to send DMCA takedown notices to start with, and more likely to to send DMCA takedown notices to sites like Medafire or Mega, sites which are often seen as promoting piracy. In fact, archive.org is considered to be so reliable at protecting uploads for the sake of preserving digital history, that the Minecraft archiving community Omniarchive on Discord, uses archive.org to host rare jars that they have found.

Does anyone here have a lost version? I am bumping to see incase any old player sees this. I am mostly looking for 1.1.1. You can still DM me. I want this thread to be alive so users can experience of how old minecraft felt like back in the day so they can have those versions back to public.
