Does anyone remember the time when clay was incredibly rare? If you wanted to build a brick house, you had to spend hours looking for clay in rivers and lakes. The spawnrate for clay seemed incredibly finite.

[@damionsmith1672]

Not in Indev you didn’t because your phone is gigantic pyramids, made entirely of bricks. I just notice of KZbin deactivate MC to be honest.

[@Addison_Lycan]

Oh my gosh, that was so annoying

[@cody3504]

Yeah I never wanted to make bricks anyway but my world on Xbox 360 had a small patch just before the end of the world. Also remember finding ores outside of the world barrier and be like whelp there’s some iron I’ll never be able to mine

[@angrywhale3545]

I remember that, it wasn't that clay itself was rare per se, it's just that the environment that spawns clay (beaches) was very hit or miss. Especially on early MCPE which didn't have infinite worlds, if your world didn't have a shallow beach you couldn't get clay at all and had to make a new world. Mushrooms had the same problem in MCPE too, they only (rarely) spawn on random dirt blocks in dark areas (caves weren't a thing back then), there was no mushroom biome or anything.

[@Ghibli_Otaku]

Yeah, for some reason I always forget how common it is now lol

[@Seekay_]

A couple more things vets will remember: - Early versions of the Nether sounded terrifying because ghasts kept randomly flying into lava or burning netherrack and could actually be damaged by them. - Furnaces could be used as hidden stashes because they had a regular stone texture on top. - Building minecart boosters because powered rails didn't exist yet. - Using water ladders to climb up super quickly.

I remember when the only thing the Nether was useful for was fast travel to somewhere far away in the overworld. We had full rail stations in the Nether complete with minecart dispensers to get from one side of the map to the other quickly. The hardest part was not getting ganked by ghasts while we were building the rail ines.

[@jordansalmon7245]

Yeah exactly! I remember 1.5 being absolutely massive because it was the first moveable redstone block. It had redstoners going crazy! And having villagers you could finally trade with come in 1.3? That was cool.

[@silvetwolf]

I was really upset when they removed the ability to block with your sword. I was young and horrible at the game when I was finally able to get it on my computer but I remember joining public servers and playing cops and robbers, you’d spawn with a sword and in a cell with cell mates, whom could easily kill you, but you often made the sign of peace to prevent that

Another one, Ghasts were weak to lava and fire. Just remembering a Ghast taking fire damage while floating into a lava fall and SCREAMING EACH TIME IT TOOK DAMAGE AND DIED is still ingrained in my memory.

I still call them reeds. Don't remember the pink sheep looking like that. My first ever base was in the side of a grass hill, complete with a lava garbage bin and glass block lookout "sphere", but I was generally fond of houses as time went on. I never used boats like that, but I remember seeing Etho or someone do it on KZbin. I thought minecarts were cooler - was very inspired by Coestar's rail system. Had those "booster stations" using that minecart momentum glitch. I don't remember the blocks having no shading ever. I do remember leaves not decaying though. That was unbelievably annoying. I don't remember chests not facing the right way, but I do remember when chests took up full blocks. I do remember the free version online - I did try it out. I do remember passive mobs generating in generated chunks. I was pretty worried when they took that out tbh - I thought I wouldn't be able to find passive mobs anymore lol, but turned out alright. I remember water being more dangerous, I thought it was very lame when they made even the smallest bit of water save you from a fall of any height. I remember the old creeper movement - it was awesome! They should have left it as-is - at least for hard difficulty. Okay, I'm gonna stop commenting now lol. For the record I started playing when I saw a classmate in highschool playing the Minecraft 4K edition released in 2009. I'm 28 now.

Yes! It was called the nether reactor core! I remember being so scared to activate it when I was younger because of the huge tower that would spawn :)

It's wild to me how most people playing Minecraft now weren't even born when it released.

[@letsart6434]

I started playing in like 2012. That song is so nostalgic. I remember when there were only a few animals and blocks and in creative you could fill your hot bar (which you used to be able to clear with one button) with all colors of wool and build in a straight line flying backwards and hold the bumper and switch between the colors and easily and quickly make rainbow structures

[@bridgetbrennan6615]

Does anyone else remember when you could sleep at anytime in Minecraft to regenerate health, or was that just a Minecraft PE fever dream?

[@duck-Sticknodes]

I remembered when there was chests in boats in pe before but maybe it was a dream too

I usually love beta 1.2.8 and in one of my worlds it had a dungeon right near spawn

[@ionized_salmon6417]

This was a huge nostalgia trip. I remember how revolutionary the addition of spawn eggs were

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

I remember using those old boats to travel on water and hated when they break so easly

yeah, if you had to go through a swamp, you were better off just walking and treading the water

The farm one is so true, when i got Minecraft again years later i was so hesitant on walking in my farm to the point where i had to build it to be very specific where i had to go to the corners to get anything. My friend wich played during release shouted at me because of that. I will also admit that the chest one was a pain, im embarrassed to say that until last year i still used the classic spacing between chests, i got shouted by that friend again because i was ruining his "pretty" house(whats with everyone trying to make modern stylish houses) because of that, im still catching up even today, truly poetic on how i stopped at beta 1.7 and started at release 1.7. on a final note that diamond one hits true, if anything i believe that in alpha and beta diamonds where much more rarer, so once i found diamonds i always cheered thinking i achieved the meaning of life :D

[@stargate1552]

it was always a natural instinct to avoid walking on farmland cause i thought it would mess it up

[@nicesterricester7084]

This just makes me wanna play the old Minecraft so bad

Feels like retro Minecraft version

Fan since 2015, keep up the good work Anthony ♥️

[@SmoothCriminal69]

I remember playing minecraft PE all the time. I remember the red beds, the nether reactor core, the old maps, the villages that spawned at the borders of the old maps. Hell, I remember when the daylight cycle didn't exist in minecraft PE! Damn, I'm not just old, I'm ancient!

[@codycallaway9057]

I remember the nether reactor core

[@kexcz8276]

Dude exactly, the nether reactor core! You had to learn that weird build for it 😂. Or when there were only the 4 basic mobs such as creeper, skeleton, zombie and spider!

[@codycallaway9057]

@@kexcz8276 the thing is I never used it bc I didn't go to the nether when I first got Minecraft and I didn't know what it was used for it was just a block in the that I've seen before and didn't know how to use it

[@NoseCandyKermit]

Im going to be hearing "then you are a minecraft veteran" in my dreams

[@RaighnRPG]

There was a reason the old hurt sound was removed... it was ripped straight from the original Doom game. It was to be used as a placeholder only, like many of the old sounds in fact... almost every sound effect that was in the game during alpha and beta came from other games.

[@ZmansEdits]

Being a Minecraft veteran, I remember burning trees and only the leaves would burn and not the wood.

[@strxwberry.soda.]

looking back, i remember almost all of these things and i honestly forgot i remembered them because when i think about how long i've been playing i usually think of it in a way of "i played before they had xyz" or "i played when you couldn't do xyz" instead of thinking of it like this. but side note so much of this makes me feel so old. kinda crazy looking back at all of it. also does anyone remember the time when they put "removed herobrine" in the minecraft bug fixes section?

[@RedHeadForester]

I've been playing since beta 1.3 (though I tried playing once about a year prior to that but the PC I used that time sucked) so I remember most of these. I remember my first world just up and disappeared into thin air one day when the game crashed. I also remember installing the acid trip shader mod by changing a few lines of code. And running a server for me and my friends to play on using LogMeIn Hamachi so my friends could connect. Many good times were had. Beta 1.7.3 was the best version. I still miss that terrain generation.

[@1FireyPhoenix]

Omg, yess. Hamachi. I’ve been playing since infdev, when I was in middle school. I think my favorite version was beta 1.8.

[@jeremias-serus]

Hamachi 🥲🥲 what a shit program

[@747Simulation]

back in the old days I would make diamond block houses, and tell my friends it was in survival... I get nostalgia thinking of those times...

[@isabelarielle]

this was the minecraft i remember! i started playing around the 2nd grade and stopped, playing it recently was like playing a whole new game; i remember being so happy about the variety of flowers, being confused about the oxygen mechanic, and being confused about why i didnt die when i fell into shallow water from a high place

[@c_h_r_i_s_t_c_o_r_e]

Man the nether when it was completely useless was goated, so much creativity was found in there making bases and surviving

[@realmitch]

Correction: passive mobs can *technically* still spawn randomly after world generation in modern versions, but it is 400x less likely than in beta Great video though, keep it up :)

[@ZataMachi]

Broooo! So many memories! I remember Minecraft feeling so more like an adventure even though it was much more simplistic. I remember finding a diamond and getting it to the surface was a true heroic feat. Everything was much more aggressive and dangerous, and you have fewer tricks and tool to defend yourself with

Everything wanted you dead and there weren't a million tutorial videos. The loud Creeper hiss... and you knew you were a goner.

[@PanTheraaPardus]

I remember an old map for Minecraft PE I discovered way back in 2011 or 2012 from a friend. At the spawn point if you dug straight down you could find coal, iron, gold and diamonds the further you went. I'd always play that map as a kid, good memories.

[@senes2105]

U just unlocked a core memory in me 😭

Take a shot everytime he says "if you remember this, then you are a Minecraft veteran."

[@Galaxius2117]

I have fond memories of playing the Xbox 360 edition. I bought the Xbox 360 edition like a month after they released it so it had a bunch of bugs in the game, one of them being that bug where mobs would attack you in creative. I remember building this boxing arena, and then having a skeleton attack you, then you quickly move behind another skeleton so the skeleton attacking you hits the other skeleton by accident, causing them both to fight each other. It was really cool to pit the skeleton against other mobs tbh and I really miss doing this!

[@jason19twofour]

I almost died jumping into shallow water playing 1.0 last night. I started around the horse update and was just curious about 1.0. I was getting into it too. It has that liminal space feel that I didn't have a word for then. Minecraft has so much added in now that it doesn't feel so lonely in single player but that feeling was also a driving force to make something in the world.

[@totrolll3494]

Surprised you didnt mention the nether generator!! Spent many hours grinding when the nether didnt exist :3

Remember when pumpkins used to have the Jack-o-Lantern faces by default and you didn’t need shears to carve out the faces for them?
