I FOUND MY OLD MINECRAFT XBOX 360 WORLDS!!

[@sabersz]

Said this in a comment many months back but I'll say it here too; Your Xbox 360 Sky Island series, way way almost 11 years ago, is why I'm still into Minecraft today. Genuinely, it's because of that series I bugged my parents to buy an Xbox 360, bought a One S a few years later, bought the Forza Horizon games, then got into cars, bought my first ever car, and eventually went into an engineering career because of that passion. In a way, you started that, so, thank you Squid!

[@BubblePopping121]

There’s just something magical about revisiting old Minecraft worlds, to see what it was like back when Minecraft was new and too see all the creative things the players made. This is why Minecraft will always be one of the most creative games ever made. Thanks Squid, for bring back a lot of childhood memories and hopefully you’ll feel better soon.

If you can, Squid, extracting the old adventure maps would really help out the Legacy community. Since MCDN360 shut down, many classic adventure maps are no longer available. If you could export your saved worlds (mainly the adventure maps, regardless of if they've been played or not) you would be a great help with preservation!

I just want to thank you for all the great memories you have given me and indirectly creating many more great memories with my friends in minecraft. Thank you and never change do what makes you happy

[@VoidDevOfficial]

Dear iBallisticSquid, Hey Squid, I hope this letter finds you in a moment of peace. I wanted to open my heart to you and share how profoundly your and Stampy's KZbin content impacted my childhood. I stumbled upon your channel around the tender age of 5, and it became a lifeline to a world filled with creativity, laughter, and boundless adventures. After school, I would eagerly rush home to lose myself in the enchanting realms of "The Tree Of Life," "The Forgotten Vale," "The Lost Sword," and 'RE-Solitude," among others. Those videos became more than just entertainment; they were a refuge from the challenges that awaited me outside the screen. The joy and laughter you both shared became a brief escape from the harsh realities of life. Revisiting those adventures now, years later, doesn't just bring laughter; it also stirs a sense of melancholy. The nostalgia is bittersweet, a reminder of a time when life seemed simpler and brighter. It's a reminder of a childhood that has slipped away, leaving behind echoes of laughter and the warmth of those virtual connections. Having had an iPad at that time was a blessing and a curse. It allowed me to easily access and enjoy your content, but it also became a witness to the struggles and challenges that accompanied my growing up. Your videos, in a way, became a constant amidst the chaos, a thread connecting me to a sense of joy that felt increasingly elusive. As I reflect on those days, I can't help but harbor a wish for one more adventure map featuring both you and Stampy. The prospect of reliving that magical chemistry between you two is both heartening and heartbreaking. The realization that such a collaboration might be a distant dream now brings a sense of loss. Thank you, iBallisticSquid, for being more than just a content creator. Your videos were a companion in solitude, a source of fleeting happiness in challenging times. Your impact goes beyond entertainment; it's etched into the fabric of my memories. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. Perhaps, in the shadows of nostalgia, there'll be a moment where we can all laugh and cry together once again, if only through the echoes of those cherished adventures. Sincerely, Void Dev

[@PlacidSine]

when i was a kid i was always so sad when I could play copies of stampys world but never copies of the sky island challenge. Years later these are still some of the happiest memories i've ever had, watching your videos. I can't wait to see the world, whenever it comes it

[@jemzwi]

Squiddy got me into minecraft when I was almost 6, and now 11 years later, I still play it often with my dad. Adventuring new worlds, mining together, building cool new bases all because I stumbled upon this beautiful channel all those years ago on my mom's tablet. Thank you Squid, for everything you've done and will do in the years to come.

I remember going into the bathroom to get tissues or something, and looking in the mirror, with tears going down my face, like: “No, Auntie Squid.

Oh my god. This has just made so many memories come flooding back. When you brought up the Under The Sea set I genuinely started crying. This is the ultimate nostalgia masterpiece. I started watching Sky Island when I was 8! I turn 20 this year 🥲. I cannot tell you how much that series specifically meant to me. Even tried making my own but it just wasn’t as good 😂. Since a lot of the creators I watched when I was younger have decided to step back/step down from KZbin, this just seems like the perfect reason to go back and visit everything else from my childhood. I can’t wait to see the finished worlds. Thank you for everything Squid, I wish the best for you and your family, you deserve it! ❤
