Beating Minecraft How 2014 Mojang Intended

I beat Minecraft using their official 2013 Essential Handbook and the 2014 Combat Handbook.

How to stop a minecraft player from suicide

[@montycosmos1165]

Ahh, nostalgia. The books are a decent jumping-off point, albeit slightly outdated in terms of crafting recipes and priorities. Good times.

[@fixit9844]

Honestly if you were a kid who bought these books at the book fair, these were a pretty good way to both start reading, and learn how to play minecraft in the days before fan wikis were everywhere (and even if they were, it was likely you were going to get 16 viruses from them lol). I remember these books, and a lot of the tips in them were genuinely helpful, like getting a compass and clock to help find your way

[@MeemahSN]

@@fixit9844 my sister ended up giving me her copies. i dont believe i ever used them cuz she taught me the basics back in 2016.

Not sure why, but I sometimes prefer videos that are barely edited.. and this video is perfect

I wouldn't classify his content as barely edited, but I highly recommend Kayakasaurus :D it's got a VERY similar vibe

I used these books to actually play in survival 😂😂😅 back when they came out. I always had to use the combat book to see how to make every potion. I know how to build so I dont need the building book 😎😎😎😎😎😏

[@joyrose7304]

I only bought the building book! I just wanted references and picture of cool build, nothing else XD

[@bigotato5155]

[@battlecatsubernoob1924]

NO WAY! I used to flip to the potion page when playing with my friends so we didn’t have to use google

[@IdkWhatToPutHerePlz]

I still have the redstone one!

[@SqueakyA5]

My family had all of them and I loved them! Heck little me couldn’t even read but she loved looking through them and she loved the pictures. I remember looking at the potions page and thinking People memorized this?!

[@pinkushatejar]

These books capitalize on the energy of the early Minecraft era, when we weren't sure what was in the game and just figured it out. Minecraft wiki down for some reason, people mixing mod crafting recipes with real ones, it felt like everyone who knew their shit could write a strategy guide on the game. But everyone's would be different, not everyone knew everything yet. Anyone remember how the first minecraft guide smelled? I saved up money to preorder the book with my Scholastic Book Fair school, got it in a walmart bag for some reason lmao and it smelled weird, super hype but still not certain why it smelled so unique

[@Schnort]

It has to be something about the texture of those pages

[@Foxyrobo]

I don't remember them smelling weird, but then again I didn't preorder them, I believe I got them as a birthday present

[@kirkwahmmett1666]

I loved how it smelled. The smell is still super nostalgic for me.

[@CheeseMiser]

These werent even official books

[@nono-eg3jx]

i smelled them alot to :) miss those days to

[@user-bv7zo6vd4m]

I appreciate that you play with the music on. Most youtubers don't bother, but I think it adds so much to the atmosphere

[@ScareBeastYT]

It depends on the type of editing and the type of KZbinr. Less edited survival videos are more likely to have the music on. If the editing is more present then KZbinrs will probably not have their music on, because they are going to put in thier own music anyway. When you look at minigame KZbinrs they usually use music to set the mood in editing so, random Minecraft music would really mess that up.

[@Melomikus]

Those books really sound like something ChatGPT would make.

[@Yourlocalwordrobe]

they actually made chatgpt in 2014 but after reading the books they decided "this is shit" and they ditched it until open AI found it

[@AverageTeaAddict]

[@acculturationist]

the books were written by paulsoarsjr

[@mrkefirek9]

No

[@Speakzzz]

I didn’t know the devs intended you to use ladder for mining. That’s so strange considering they always tell you not to dig straight down

[@RustyhairedAlp9575]

I think they intended for the players to build a two-by-one drop with a ladder on one side

[@Emma-bq5br]

I remember buying this set from the Scholastic Book Fair back when I was in 6th grade! I think I enjoyed looking over the books more than playing the actual game. Nice video!

[@conman_raddish]

I was in 5th but same , I miss that time

[@amiaoghg9562]

same brooo I borrowed out my essentials hand book to someone and it took me WEEKS to figure out how to craft a crafting table

[@kkachi560]

Yeah I never really played survival but I LOVED the builder's handbook. Gonna be honest I'm not even sure if I actually built anything out of it but I read it all the time lol

[@bruhfis786]

got mine in 1st grade and still have them as High-School Senior 💀

[@MixingMagic09]

Same! I got them in first grade and would get terrified at the pictures of the mobs. Nowadays I’m the kind of person who sucks at the game but knows a lot about how to play it.

[@fisio8893]

It feels so.... enjoyable. I miss those times when I was playing Minecraft Xbox 360 and doing everything the guidebooks told me

[@thegamergamin702]

Bro the Xbox 360 was and still is goated. Introduced me to almost every major gaming genre, and got me into Minecraft. Great times, even today with cross play and mods. THE BABY PIG 3:10 Edit - 3:00 I mean. Dam 🦫 Edit #2 - 2:57 I mean. Dam 🦫 🦫

[@gabrielosborne5299]

You know, I was thinking to myself "did anyone ever actually seriously use these books aside from just fun little experiments like these?" until I realized that I had been doing the farming from the handbook for years until I learned of the modern, more efficient way. On top of that, I had also been using the "dig in a hill" trick if I hadn't built a house yet. It's awesome to see things like this.

[@samdabugg]

please do a part 2 with the redstone and construction handbooks

[@fizzlock]

The Redstone one was actually half decent for its time, and taught me a LOT about basic circuits as a kid. I think it was partially authored by CubeHamster (I could be fully wrong there, someone correct me if so), so it was actually genuinely helpful. I don't think it explained stuff like BUD Switches, or QuasiConnectivity. It's also obviously out of date with the huge additions of the observer and target block.

[@123four...]

A lot of minecraft channels can just seem like the lowest common denominator of mass produced content, this channel seems like a really refreshing break in that. Keep up the good work!

[@trollos]

i once had the full bookset of these minecraft books i gave them to a friend to borrow i havent seen that friend in years

[@mulberry999]

thank you for not yelling the whole video and not having a million things on the screen at once like most minecraft videos that get recommended

[@VacantKey]

I remember these books. My parents agreed to buy them for me when we saw them in a shop, but they forgot. I took them and walked out the store, as I didn’t know what robbery was at the time. My mum practically had a panic attack when she discovered what I’d done.

[@malegria9641]

@@izzy-wt9srthere were no eyes in the portal already and he didn’t have any blaze powder on him so I’d say it very much “magically” appeared somehow…

[@svijj_]

I had (and I believe I still might have it in here somewhere!) the construction handbook. The builds included in the book were actually pretty interesting, but are of course now dated due to the addition of many new blocks. The instructions however were... not exhaustive, to say the least, so you mostly had to use the given picture for reference. I distinctly remember how one build used two anvils for a cooking grill. Very creative!

[@RaptorStudios]

I love the suppressed anger but calmness through most of the video. I loved these books, I’ve got all 4 and all of the new Minecraft Guides

[@thedoodooslayer4106]

This vid reminded me that the ender dragon fight is a really good video game boss if you aren’t ripping it in half with beds

[@Ashicakez3]

I used to have the construction handbook. I used one of the tutorials in there to make a large house with a wrap-around balcony

I found this video by chance and its really nostalgic, I used to use thoose handbooks to play minecraft as a kid on my ps3, the good ol days

He could have easily traded with gold and piglins, and yes actually when you're close to the strong hold, they do drop underground. They lead to the end portal frame. Go try yourself, I do it in my own world.

[@bewtnewt]

he also just randomly got a new eye at 11:31

[@thatoneguy9734]

He could’ve just crafted the potions offscreen and if he threw the eyes while digging underground they would’ve gone through the blocks, popped and ended up in the caves. Also before that cut he had 11, then when they showed up he had 9 and picked the 2 off the floor so he didn’t even gain any.
