I know, it’s especially weird to play without newer features you could never live without now….

I’m not an OG player of the game but I know what you mean fWhip! (By the way hello fWhip) (I started playing the game for the first time when the game was in 1.16)

[@dania4407]

kind of crazy how this is completely terrible in comparison to today's Minecraft but back then it was revolutionary. times flies lol, literally felt my bones creak while watching this (also congrats on the MCC first individual, the S in Smallishbeans stands for S tier)

Not gonne lie, Joel's house might be the best 1.0.0 build I've ever seen. The block availability is so bare it's unbelievable that anything that nice could be built in that version.

[@martijn9568]

I personally feel like Joel tried to build something a little too complex for what's possible. With some more preparation, Joel's house would've probably been better.

[@astrokitty5956]

yeah, it’s really impressive

[@enozlliks7794]

It's because he tried to build with the 1.19 style in the 1.0 version. 1.0 has it's own feel and aesthetic balanced to what was possible during that time. While yes the new style is much better, there is still a way to make good builds in the old version that match.

[@AkiraN19]

I loved SystemZee's and Pearl's builds on EVO and found them amazing as well. I think those are probably the best builds I've seen in early game versions

[@ShudderyX24]

In 1.0, the dragon was very aggressive and you had to hit the dragon to stop it from ramming into you. The best way to do this is with a bow and arrow. Edit: No matter what version, bring a spare ender pearl so you don’t have to bridge across!

[@synniestar]

oh man, i'm impressed at the amount of detail you were able to put into the builds considering your limited block options! i really enjoyed this :D GOD. that ending hurt. and the way they make you wholesale DELETE THE WORLD instead of giving you an option to spectate it...man. GG tho. we have it good in 1.19, that's for certain!

[@taj1994]

Fun fact - Spectator mode wasn't even added until 1.8, nearly 3 years after 1.0.0

[@rikkirattus]

As someone who rountinely plays Tekkit (Minecraft 1.2.5) and still strongly remembers my first experience with a cracked version of Minecraft Beta 1.8 Joel struggling so much with things I fully expect is hilarity. Even though I do use the one-button run, I still double tap W a lot. Its a skill to have lol. Joel forgetting you have to dismount with right click was also hilarious

[@ToriKo_]

Wow I haven’t heard the work Tekkit in forever. Brings me back to the yogscast, which was one of the first mc series I ever ever watched

[@ledarudbek1180]

Man, I used to play so much tekkit, and watch the yogs too! It's funny that Joel's out here asking about things from 1.8(andesite) and 1.7.5( sprint button) like they've always been in the game.

[@taj1994]

I personally couldn't imagine going all the way back to 1.2.5 (which also happens to be the version I started on). I recently tried playing 1.7.10, and that was hard to do. Lol. 1.12.2 is the farthest back I can comfortably go these days, and even then, it needs to be a good modpack (recently did MC Eternal with some friends, which was pretty good). The swimming changes alone in 1.13 are a big one for me, never mind all the other vanilla improvements

[@ThatWetOwl]

He's done it. He finally played the original Minecraft in hardcore!! And of course it was a banger of a video

@@thebananaking7295 I was so sad when he quit evo for hermitcraft, I was not prepared for how good Hermitcraft S6 was going to be

[@scamper933]

You weren't taking much damage in full diamond because of a rather comical bug that existed in 1.0 exclusively. For some reason, it does the damage reduction calculation twice multiplicatively, meaning that instead of reducing damage by 80% as intended, it became 96%! (20% of 20% is 4%) The amount of damage you deal with critical hits (plus enchanted items) had a randomised calculation, hence why you also occasionally 2-shotted cows with an iron sword.

[@BlueSodaPop_]

I love how many updates and texture changes were controversial when they first came out but now we go back and realize, my god this game really had an ugly phase huh

[@Techdawg77]

Thanks for sharing your pain with us Joel! Makes you wonder how MC became so big with that beginning

[@ameliad7436]

[@Fierycascade]

Man, got flashbacks to PBG's first Hardcore collab series with that death to the Ender Dragon. Sometimes it just goes straight for you in the old versions and there is jack you can do about it.

[@mariolover2222]

Man, I sure did love "lets listen to Joel complain for 25 minutes"

[@ToriKo_]

Man the old nether had such a charm to it. I kinda miss it. Oh wow and the old enchanting too. It had such a magical element to it. And wow that dragon fight was nostalgic, you had to worry about being knocked off the platform by the dragon and it spawned so far away from the island

[@MazzyGG]

Please tell me you’re being sarcastic..

[@lordofdarkness4204]

I cannot possibly imagine any reason for why the old nether would be "charming" except that you have hardcore nostalgia.

[@ToriKo_]

@@lordofdarkness4204 yeah, pure refined compacted nostalgia. Out of interest how many in this comment chain played/watched this old version of mc a decade ago?

[@martijn9568]

​@Tori Ko I watched, but only started playing around 1.7.9.😅 Old Minecraft had some real issues, but so does new Minecraft and some of the old issue actually were never fixed as well.

[@Cocoecake]

24:00 Just learned that void fog is in the end dimension too! (it was the fog and partials that appeared as you get closer to bedrock/the void- it was removed a few updates later)

[@elsalaiho1699]

I started playing minecraft a few versions after this (once it became popular among the boys at school. Not that I was a boy, but I had a brother so usually I ended up trying out all the same video games and whatever as he did), but even so, this is really bringing back some memories lol. Also yeah I think that water that was only one block deep, in early versions of the game just did not fully negate the fall damage, so that might explain some of the issues you had with the waterbucket clutching? i might be wrong tho, honestly, i didn't check it, it's just that i seem to remember it being that way. no idea when it changed

[@marieleelee]

This video made me realize that the nether fortress looks exactly the same as it does now.

[@thomasdevlin5825]

The sight of the old nether takes me back, the old glowstone dust texture is so nostalgic. One of my core minecraft memories is bridging across the roof of the nether to get the one blob of glowstone in sight way back in 1.7.10

[@limenutella]

the amt of detail u were able to put into the builds despite the super limited block choice is so impressive !! i always forget how ugly some of the textures were back then esp cobble n wheat So glad they changed them to not be so jarring

[@equestrianrosie]

i actually really liked the old gravel texture. it has this cartoonish cuteness that was lost in the new one.

[@Allunary]

It was fun to see your reaction to all the old things in minecraft! So much has changed since minecraft was first officially released. I honestly forgot how brutal the ender dragon can be in older versions. Great vid!

I am SO excited to watch this video. Also congratulations Largishbeans on getting #1 in MCC!!

[@rockclimbinggirls2911]

As someone who's been playing the game ever since the pocket edition came out (also 2011) but had been watching my brother play on his PC for more than a year (he started playing when the Alpha update came out), this video made me realize how much more I know about 1.0 version compared to the latest. I started playing non PE when chicken jockeys were first added and I'm pretty sure the jeb sheep was a new thing so around 1.7? Anyways, I ended up playing on 1.8 while I was at my peak of Minecraft and didn't start a new world/join a server until like 1.12 or smth. The most recent update I've played (as of rn) is 1.17 so I have much to learn. After all, you can learn only so much from watching other people play. So to hear how shocked Joel was throughout the video and comparing it to the latest update was fascinating to me. There's so much I never thought about that has changed like the sound of walking is now the sound of breaking dirt, needing to shift when walking over your farm and all the recipe changes. I will admit I also forgot how the end worked back then so I was just as shocked at the ending lol. Loved the video man! It's got me wanting to try 1.0 as well

[@i_luv_marbled_bread]

Joel always finds new ways to do 100 days in Minecraft.

[@yeeeeeeetus]

Those head shakes of annoyance are so relatable, but well played Joel you did really well

[@PandaLuluBear]

Funny how most of Minecraft is more complex, more beautiful, more in-depth, and more difficult now, but I do remember the Ender Dragon being really hard to beat, so this seems accurate. 😂 The Ender Dragon is so easy now

[@solartaire]

I played ~version 1.6 for years so many of the mechanics that are really common to most players were revolutionary to me. For example, I only figured out you *didn't* have to double tab to sprint two years ago!!! And the addition of boats not exploding and CORNER STAIRS (bless) was so exciting

yoo seeing this i thought it was really old, it reminded me of the 'going through every version' thing you did a few years ago but it's brand new!! this looks fun (and painful but still fun)

[@Scigeraptor]

The nostalgia, IT IS REAL! I started playing just before 1.2 launched and I recall ALL these struggles and the frustrations that came with it. xD Idk if I would have the patience to deal with 100 hours in 1.0, at least you tried. xD RIP that ending though. Stupid dragon. One other way to stop that is shooting her as she'll turn upon being shot while charging buuuuut yeah, that's still stupid regardless.

[@timwoods2852]

*Oh yeah!* I had forgotten all about the "feature" that cows could jump fences! That's why all my animal pens are just two-high dirt walls/holes. Yeah, before 1.9 Jean would just try to YEET you off the platform almost straight away. You were highly encouraged to build a pill box around the platform and walls on the bridge.

[@Mega1russell]

Lol, I still try do a whole bunch of old school things in modern Minecraft: -Double tap W to sprint, when I remember sprint exists. -Individually click items into the crafting table. -Block with the sword. -Try to craft fences with sticks(I know other people who have trouble with this too). -Try to craft books with only paper(I know other people who have trouble with this too). -Try to breed all animals with wheat. -Obsessively ensure that I am couching on farmland. -Still call villagers Testificates. -Expect to ignite TNT by hitting it. -Also I try to right click on mounts and boats to dismount them(This is something most youtubers I've seen try old versions not realise or forget). For context I started in Beta 1.3.

[@lazybunnie_]

[@Picobits]

"This game version came out in 2011" Wow, that's nearly 10 years ag- "12 years ago!" Oh my god why is time passing by so fast??

[@Mschell403]

It’s weird because this is how I learned minecraft and playing now I’m expecting some of these things to happen or not to happen. I expect the stuff to just fall out of my inventory if I leave it in the crafting table, and I haven’t had to craft fence in a while so I would’ve just made it with sticks probably, but then I guess the different types wouldn’t make sense. Trading with villagers seems so new still but it feels like dying your bed or dog collar has always been around because it just makes sense, just like dragging things to place them around the crafting table smoothly. It’s just so interesting learning everything again, it’s the same game I’ve always loved but so improved and also kind of foreign.
