I survived 100 days in Minecraft's oldest version: Minecraft Infdev. Minecraft Infdev is usually always overshadowed by Minecraft Alpha as the game blew up starting with that series of Minecraft updates. I decided to let loose with some Minecraft nostalgia and experience Minecraft Infdev for the first time, surviving for 100 days in the buggy pre-alpha landscape. Specifically, Infdev version inf-201000630-1835.

There is a charm to these old Minecraft versions. Very basic but nostalgic. I remember how exciting it was when they actually added new stuff to the game like biomes.

[@Nikos.]

I joined on beta 1.8 after they removed snow for a time, I lost my mind when snow biomes returned

Cool video dude. I like the chill vibes, no overly loud commentary. And appreciating those little things in Minecraft.

[@Nikos.]

Thanks! Glad you liked it, those were the vibes I was going for!

[@Crimsrn]

Hey a bit if useful advice if you continue the series: you can actually mine spawners in a few versions of infdev. When replaced it becomes a pig spawner and u get infinite food! If you reply with the specific version (the number) then i can tell you if it’ll work

[@Nikos.]

No way that's insane, I wish I knew that in advance

[@septafan]

@@Nikos.u can do this in current versions but its from a glitch (cave spider spawner + buried treasure chest)

This shows why i like beta 1.7, it has enough features to not be that boring, and the world generation was amazing. But it was still not overwhelming that modern minecraft can be. It's a perfect middleground.

It just needs some QOL features & it'll be golden. But if you're used to it then it's not too bad.

[@heavyq]

I started playing not long after Infdev. Alpha 1.1.2_01 was the version I began playing in. I remember the Halloween update getting added a month later and man did it freak us out. Getting a full set of diamond armor with full diamond tools/sword was a total bragging rights. I miss the old sounds such as doors and TNT. Enemies making Steve noises when they get hit was already fixed before I started playing, but that would've been so funny to hear. I also remember we used to call gold bars "sticks of butter" and we'd make gold boots and call them "Butter Shoes" because otherwise gold was trash. Love the video Nikos! Thanks for the trip back in time and some great Minecraft nostalgia!!

[@Nikos.]

Thanks! It was very nostalgic throwing this one together, I kinda miss old minecraft, back when everything was less known and not many people talked about the game, it had a eerie mystery to it

[@CreeperShorts]

Man, what an adventure that was. It was very well documented. I felt a little bit that it was an end of an journey, with the end of the video.

[@HappyPlaysWasTaken]

Something to note about the diamond generation is that they spawn most commonly on the southeast quadrant of the world and least common in the northwest.

[@Nikos.]

Thanks for the tip, it would explain the lack of diamonds for the first month of the game!

according to the stairs texture you are playing somewhere betwen Infdev- 2010 06 29 and infdev - 2010 06 30 , which is 2-0 versions until minecraft alpha , and is either 25-th or 27-th infdev version .

[@ricedanan]

If you truly want to survive in the oldest version possible I think Survival Test would be the oldest and Indev without the Infinite Worlds being the 2nd oldest while also resembling the Minecraft we all know and love.

Apparently diamonds spawn more the farther southwest you go and spawn less the farther northeast you go from spawn. It's probably the reason you couldn't find many diamonds.

[@Nikos.]

That probably explains why heading towards sunset yielded far more diamonds later in the game around day 85, was this just for infdev that diamonds spawned this way?

[@banebruja]

@Nikos. from what I know the bug existed until beta 1.4_01. I don't know when it was patched out exactly. You can google a map from a 1.4_01 world that shows the diamond distribution.

The most unknown/ Useful things about Infdev are In the 1st third brick pyramids 2nd third Lava and Water physics. Also no cave gen and no bedrock meaning mob farms are stupid easy to make. The last third and the best for last… You can collect spawners also can craft golden apples if you somehow get red apples.

Not just because I was new back then but because they literally jumpscared you. I also remember the lighting gave me the creeps.

[@gaborholotajr.4427]

You should have maybe used those last days to find structures (like pyramids or monoliths, depending on which version you were playing) or for a crasier, literally kinda impossible challenge, reach the farlands.

[@logsupermulti3921]

Infdev isn't the oldest version available, It's not even the oldest version with survival. That would be 0.24. Infdev is notable because it was the first version that added infinite terrain, hence the name, Infinite Development. Before that you have InDev, and the aforementioned 0.24. I think surviving in InDev could make for an interesting video, but much more before that and the amount of things to do in the game drops drastically, I think you'd find it really difficult to do a 100 days video passed InDev. Edit: Regarding the minecarts needing gravity to go, there was a bug you could take advantage of that worked sort of like a primitive version of a powered rail, it was called a boost track and was pioneered by AlmtyBob. Though looking back in his video he was on Alpha 1.0.17 and not InfDev, so I don't know if it would work.

[@Nikos.]

The reason for not finding as much ore as you might expect could be the result of the ore distribution bug that was finally fixed in Beta 1.6. If you were in a -x or -y direction from 0,0 there were fewer ores. The least when you were negative in both directions :D

Maybe you already know this but infdev is definitely NOT the oldest minecraft version. There are several versions of the game in each of the following development cycles, which precede infdev: pre-classic, classic, and indev. The survival tests began in Classic so those would be the earliest playable survival versions of the game, and the end of indev saw a world much like infdev but with limited world size

I can tell you why diamonds were so inconsistent! In infdev, there was a bug where the spawn rate for diamonds would be different depending on what quadrant you were in. The northeast quadrant had less diamonds, the southwest quadrant had more diamonds, and the northwest/southeast quadrants had a mid amount. So if the cave is close to 0,0; you might've been getting dryspells when you happened to go to the northeast quadrant, and more diamonds in the southwest quadrant.
