I got into Minecraft back when Lewis and Simon were doing their "let's play" and Shadow of Israphel series before they even renamed their channel to Yogscast Lewis and Simon, and was still named bluexephos. Never really played it seriously until the PS3 release of the game but man do those series bring back memories

[@MrFaorry]

It was their Tekkit series that brought me to Minecraft. Started with Duncans OG series, then the Lewis and Simon since he did the Jaffa Factory with them, then I started watching Sips&Sjin too because I was a retarded 10 year old who didn't realise it was all scripted so thought I was spying on them. Man those were the days.

Me and some other guys in class all had minecraft and the rich kid set up a server that we were all gonna play on. I was invited once, when i logged off they destroyed my house and made me feel unwelcome back to the server... not so good times. but at least single player minecraft was fun alongside TF2.

[@FumoPliskin]

I stumbled upon Minecraft from this youtube channel called Dadsrfunny back in 2011 had Minecraft videos in my recommended and always thought it looked dumb until I finally clicked on it finding the game interesting enough to ask to get the game by Christmas. Never got to experience the beta or alpha but I personally felt like up until the end of 1.6 the terrain was fun to explore. Nowadays with 1.7 onwards they just play it so safe with the generation. Amplified sorta brings back the old generation but I always found the wackiness in the terrain what brought me into this game but nowadays everything feels the same even though the content inside this game is fantastic. I wish to have the old terrain alongside what we have in the latest version of the game. I hope that 1.18 brings back the old vibes as I feel exploring isn't as fun as it once was tbh.

[@davidgruzin8269]

When I still played the beta I think there was this tall mountain that kinda looked like a skyscraper. It looked like a tall cuboid. I made a home at the top and I loved it. Gonna remember that world forever.

[@Graknorke]

Nah you're right about the terrain generation, the older stuff banged. When they added biomes it got a lot more sensible but also more homogenous (ironically).

[@TTowle715]

I remember finding Minecraft because of Seananners. As soon as this video started I instantly thought of it, and when you brought him up it immediately hit me and I was a kid watching KZbin again excited that my mother was going to buy me Minecraft later that day.

[@goose4454]

Wholesome as heck my dude!

[@theidealcopy_]

Definitely agree that the world generation in the old versions was way more interesting. I picked up the game a couple of years later (2012-13) but even then you got cooler rock formations and stuff. Pretty sure they patched a lot of that out in order to eliminate the floating blocks, which feels like a bad trade tbh.

Golden Age for me was when stamina was released, but I started playing with friends on a server a couple patches before. I remember the best thing to troll people with was to spawn a bunch of golden apples, which came in a stack, and throw them, which would force them to fill up a person’s inventory Also had a friend give “insurance” which was him putting TNT under people’s houses, and then forgot about it. At some point, a creeper came around and destroyed my skull entrance because it caused a chain reaction and blew up my storage shed and my main gate

[@FinDan07]

My dad bought minecraft for me in the christmas of 2010, just before the beta. I think what really made minecraft special back then were the mods, there was a metric shit ton of them. Nowadays the modding scene is half-dead and most mods don’t use the newer versions of Minecraft. It’s a shame, really.

I stumbled onto Minecraft when I found Voltz Wars by FnD Games and The FMB Channel.

It's funny how that in this year FMB returned for their about Decade Later Anniversary to create a new Voltz Wars series, two of them.

The only Machinimas I can remember were movies, one was simply called "The Minecraftian", I believe, while the other was Herobrine. Was legit scary to me back then XD My first memory of Minecraft is my friend excitedly showing it to me and showing me how to download it on Megaupload at the time, before it got taken down. Think it was minecraft 1.5 beta or something. Couldn't read, or at least I didn't bother to read, as I played for quite a while on that cracked version, wondering why in the wiki it had trapdoors yet I didn't. Until I was like "what's this?" and clicked the "force update" button. Afterwards I was like "oooooh, so that's what it was!" xD It was like a new game, I think it was like 1.2.5 or something. I still remember me and my friend building this huuge wall and a tower in the middle, then wondering why mobs would spawn (we needed more torches lol). I also remember being on this server called Clutchcraft, with I think the owner being Stryker or something? Something like that. (this was a bout a year or two later, idk, when I had actually bought it.) Played Shotbow servers, watched Minecon, etc I think I eventually lost interest around the combat update, (slightly before that, actually) so not that long ago as one would think. Was a great time in my childhood, I say. Most of our friends played it, to the point the school had to block the website because it was starting to dissolve into bullying and the like. So my friends...just got a portable version of Minecraft that apparently connected somewhere else other than Minecraft.net. Was definitely interesting times xD Had to go from pc to pc because I don't think all of them had java or whatever-something needed to play Minecraft, some where slow, others weren't stuff like that. I also watched a lot of SkydoesMinecraft, tho I think he simply goes by SkydoesGaming now, and his channel kind tanked because of personal issues and other stuff, tho he seems to be doing better now.

[@ZechsMerquise73]

My brother was sending me videos of Notch's test play videos. We loaded up the game together on the ancient and defunct free version of Minecraft which was multiplayer only. It was kind of crap but also different and amazing. We scaled a giant cave system together that was made using a world editor. It made me wonder what the full game was like, and so I bought it. So, didn't play it because someone else did, unless you count Notch. The golden age of Minecraft was just before full release, when the debug mode launched. It was a completely different experience to fly around, spawn stuff, cycle time and watch the days fly by.

[@brijekavervix7340]

I remember watching kids in highschool play it on the library computers in 2010 (I think) and thinking the floating dirt was stoopid. Then I got my hands on a copy and realised it was actually a feature.

I’ll never forget playing Minecraft in my shop class instead of learning. But when I played… it was in a browser… and like 0.08… and free… god I’m old…

[@DarrellThody]

I had a friend in high school who was playing a lot of Minecraft and when I looked into it I found out that an Xbox 360 version was coming out. I preordered it and played it on Xbox 360 the day it released.. my first experience was being killed by spiders and creepers in the desert and only now do I have the hindsight to know that it was a really bad spawn. To me, the Golden Age was was in 2011, that period of time when Minecraft hit such a mass appeal that it came to consoles.

[@canislupid2466]

Was doing my BTEC at college when my friends started freaking out about a block game. Tried out the alpha, was browser-only and the only available blocks were oak wood and cobble, I think. Thought it was okay. Some months later Etho started his playthrough. After a few months of watching his content I bought it. Was way before villagers existed, let alone when most mobs had audio. Witches used to be terrifying just nuking you with potions out of nowhere

[@mr.temomeli9495]

Funny thing is Minecraft is still on it's golden age

[@kaiserpanzer548]

my story of how i got into minecraft is actually quite funny, i was watching an very old video of an KZbinr playing either the Alpha or Beta version of minecraft, it was before the game even had hunger, i would only get the game some years later when the latest version was the 1.5.2 which is the version i most played out of all of them

[@ethanthereenactorguy4829]

For me the golden age of Minecraft was 1.7.10. This is mainly due to it being the most common version to use mods on, when I first learned how to install mods. I started playing the game around the time it came out. The old Alpha versions are so nostalgic, but my best Minecraft memories are in v1.7.10, it's the version I still use, and always will be my favorite version. The mods too are so nostalgic. To this day, when I play with Aether 2, Twighlight Forest, Rivel Rebels, or many of the other popular Minecraft Mods, I reminisce about being a kid, and coming home from school to watch DanTDM, SkyDoesMinecraft, Ssundee, and PopularMMOs. Kinda sad to see how all those channels ended up today. It's like seeing MTV going from music, to Teen Mom. Minecraft to me is how Popeye The Sailor Man, or Golden Eye 007 Nintendo 64 is to my parents.

[@nunny5070]

I think I first played minecraft when they added fireworks back in 2012. I actually managed to find a legitimate site where I could play it for free after getting shitloads of viruses from previous sites. I eventually bought the game after the site got taken down. Fast forward last year and I tried it again and I felt so lost and confused lmao. Everything is so complicated now, I felt like the ending of Shawshank Redemption.

I started back in 1.2.5, nor sure what year it was and it's possible I started earlier and just didn't notice the version until 1.2.5. As for a golden age, I am of the opinion 1.7.10 was one of the best updates, it was also the one that I played the most due to all the mods available for it. Hell, as I write this I am urrently playing Blightfall, a modpack for 1.7.10

[@themoran2]

Nostalgia aside, I'd say the "Golden Age" of Minecraft would be the first multiplayer versions, before you could die, before you could craft. Imagine 40+ players playing "the floors lava" - You had a limited map, where lava came from the ceiling and slowly filled the map top-first. You built your house, and tried to avoid the "hot" lava. If you touched it, you lost. The game was built entirely on trust, no one would stop you re-building your house. The map restarted when the map was filled.

First version I played was a pirated copy that was in alpha version 1.2.6. It had this weird launcher that I got from some horrid website, but the best part was at this time, Beta 1.8 came out and all the videos coming out about it were about the End and all that fun stuff. But my cracked launcher was stuck on 1.2.6 which meant that me bingeing Antvenom and Chimneyswift11's respective series was just a dreadful experience, cuz I didn't know why they had the funny food chicken nuggets and I didn't. Personal favorite version now is Beta 1.7.3 cuz now I feel that the majority of stuff added in beta 1.8 was more detrimental than it should have been. As well as that, Beta 1.7.3 had wicked mods, all the classics, you got your Aether, Clay Soldiers, Mo-Creatures, the god damn ZEPPELIN MOD, which is the peak of game mechanical engineering yet put into an interactive medium.
