The MOD That Lets You Play The OLD CONSOLE EDITION! (Legacy Minecraft)

This is the most impressive mod I've seen to date to replicate the legacy console edition feel. Not many people have talked about this in the minecraft space and I knew I had to make a video on this

[@RileyTasticPlays]

Completely on accident, but this video was released on the 12th anniversary of Minecraft Xbox 360 edition! Thank you for all the supportive you've given me, it means a lot!

[@WowTooCool]

nice one

[@SquexzXD]

I love the video. Keep going with the content

[@StabanGaming]

Great video 👍

[@ImPrettySureThisIsMax]

There are no accidents

[@vichilltime]

Holy fuck bro ur underrated

[@monkeymanjoe2]

PS3 mincraft was underated😭. Does anyone else remember the custom maps with texture packs, like the little big planet one

[@RileyTasticPlays]

The mashup packs were what inspired me to learn how to build!

[@yukobayshi]

I had it on PS Vita but yea the LBP map was INSANE I loved it

[@RevolutionMark0498]

Yessss! I literally played it on my PS4 lately bc there's the only version of bedrock where you can switch editions and the nostalgia hit hard 😭🥹❤

[@RevolutionMark0498]

I also started on PS3 and now I can't play Java nor Bedrock with such a passion

[@FrostburnIsle]

OH MY GOD THE LBP MAP... Funny story, back then, I once put the LBP and the Minecraft disc in at the same time, thinking it would merge and give me the mashup pack to play

[@SSruh]

Installed this on the Steam Deck w/ prism launcher. Took 5 ish minutes. Good performance, 300-400 fps uncapped w/ 12 chunk render. This mod is actually insane. I've hated on bedrock since the beginning, and now I finally have an alternative!

[@platformplayz]

bro this is sooo smart

[@RevolutionMark0498]

​@@platformplayzYeah, because steam deck is portable so you can have latest versions of MC whereever you are. But... for battery reasons I would cap fps to like 80/90.

[@SSruh]

@@RevolutionMark0498 That's what I do. I think the estimate is 4-5 hours.

[@shiro3146]

as pocket player i too am infuriated to the way m$ treat pocket edition especially as one of many who hopes exact parity from java to pocket not the other way around yet here we are, funni bedrock ah.. goes brr

[@uncraftbar]

There are other options for Controller support in minecraft. Heck with steam input you can play tech modpacks on the deck. Played through ATM9 lmao

[@Cqntemplate]

One of the biggest easter eggs on the really old tutorial on the Xbox 360 edition was the fact that it had a replica of a part of Stampy's world INSIDE of the tutorial. I had some amazing times with my cousin playing on my xbox 360

[@RileyTasticPlays]

When I was a little kid, my cousins tried to convince me that they built that tutorial world for 4J lmao

[@nanajp]

same. I've been using "Console Aspects" texture pack in minecraft bedrock edition (check out my videos), but Java is really good at recreating the Legacy Edition looks.

[@MCisAwesome95]

Man the PS3 version was my childhood, makes me happy knowing this mod exists I think there's a server that's attempting to recreate the minigames, I wonder how it feels with this mod installed

[@for4269]

The nostalgia I got when I saw that world creation menu… I don’t own legacy console Minecraft anymore (but I still keep in touch with one of my legacy friends (hell, he even still makes minigames on the new versions of the game XD, same old Peashooter)). I do have the demo on Xbox 360, though… and _wow._ I can say, with recent memory, that this is the most accurate recreation I’ve ever seen. All they need to do is change the way elytra flying works and the actual gameplay part of things will be at least damn near perfect.

[@superdays7933]

They NEEEDDD to add limited world sizes, and also support for older versions of Minecraft!

[@cinnamonaxis6256]

I’ve been hit with some debilitating nostalgia oh my gosh

[@thatjamguyog]

I remember I used to spend a lot of time in the little main area of the tutorial world when I only had the demo, before eventually getting the full version. This was around the same time we had story mode.

[@MoldStudios420]

DUDE!!! THIS IS AMAZING THANK YOU FOR SHOWING US THIS. I grew up with with legacy console edition

[@Gaming_Stuff]

Had early pocket edition on an ipad 2, ps3 edition and wii U edition, still remember these versions really well.

[@1stgenIbishupessima]

This is THE best version of minecraft and i mean damn i was shocked to see how natural the combat system felt, i thought it's going to feel out of place, but no and generally this mod feels like 1:1 to console editions something which bedrock resource packs could not replicate, i love this

[@clobzz]

the only issue is the sharpness nerf from modern combat stayed, i remember back in legacy console if you put sharpness V on a diamond sword it did like 12.5 damage now its only like 11 or something

[@ACMBitz7]

This is exactly what I wanted, a continued version of legacy console, and maybe if they add minigames, they can make some new ones. I remember PS3 edition being my favorite and I still play it sometimes but it's really hard to get into servers because there's only about 14 people actually connected to PSN playing the game.

[@SonicProGaming]

I grew up with the PS3 Version, It was so nostalgic, Especially since I modded my ps3 and got custom skins and mods on it. Ahhhh Good Memories.

[@RascalGames]

This was peak Minecraft and nowadays this is what legacy really is. Going back and being able to say "Oh yea, I built this and it was one of my firsts". Reminds me of playing 8 player hunger games from maps I downloaded online and installed on a USB for my Xbox so all of my friends could play and I could win a hunger games for once lol

[@davii_ms]

We NEED to support this project! The team making this deserves all the help and love from the community! I never imagined this would one day come to life, only dreamed about it... and now its real.

[@karachter]

Honestly, I've never played the legacy console edition, but I have seen it on KZbin like 5 years ago and always wanted to play it. KZbin did a REALLY AWESOME job recommending me your channel. Subscribed.

[@superjackzy]

Thank You so much for showing this mod! I always dreamed about playing the legacy console edition of minecraft and thanks to your video I know about this mod and I’ll surely try it out :-)

[@Toneybartii44]

honestly, if they add minigames like glides and whole lobby, i will write to them every day to make option to chose tutorial world version because this mod is hilarous

[@nighttimeClock]

It's an option! download the re-console modpack!!!! i just did and played tutorial world 9 and cried!! have fun!!

[@genesisgaming3756]

on my Wii U, i have the tutorial world you mentioned saved, the one from before the game updated!

[@Le_Taken]

As soon as I found this video, I downloaded the pack. Cranked my volume up, started the tutorial world and even set my resolution down to 720p just for the old look and feel i remember. This has been one of the best nostalgia blasts I've had for a while! Makes me wanna dust off my 360 and go back to the beginning of it all ( for me at least lol ). This has definitely earned its place as my go to solo world pack!

[@ender7910]

Man, really has been 12 years. Glad I found this, thanks. That gamma setting and the old cheat menu really did it for me to see them return.

[@regularphill]

I just wish they would release the tutorial worlds for free on marketplace... Dang it Microsoft used to be cool.

[@RileyTasticPlays]

It honestly is really sad that there isn't any great ways to access the old tutorial worlds anymore. Microsoft really just didn't want anyone to acknowledge 4J studios work I guess

first video of yours ive watched an i can already tell how high quality your videos will be, keep it up bro

[@Hnagd]

Great video. I remember the good old days exploring the tutorial world. I still have the original game and can still play it too! I still play the minigames these days with my siblings. Also- since Xbox 1 didn't get the aquatic update, we can still play the good tutorial world.

[@misttheman6753]

if the devs make a minigame server for this mod that would be amazing

[@generallowres4636]

My dad and brother were part of the very few early play testers that played the earliest versions of minecraft on java. They were pretty instantly hooked and pre-ordered the xbox 360 release, pretty much as soon as it was announced. I wasn't allowed to play on the computer yet but I do remember watching my bother play minecraft. When we got it on the xbox we would play 4 player split screen all day, im pretty sure most features weren't a thing yet because I remember us racing to bake a cake first because there was no end of the game. I also remember playing before there was survival but I couldn't tell you if that was an exception to the no playing on the computer rule or if xbox 360 edition started without survival.

[@ttechh18]

Kept finding myself smiling through the whole video while I remembered the nostalgic stuff. My version was the least talked about of the three consoles, the Wii U one lol Great vid!!! You're quite underrated sir ;)

[@Spubbily01]

Honestly bedrock edition has its pros and isn't as bad as people say it is, but man they should've either kept legacy console going or ported over many more features from it to bedrock because a lot of good features got lost and it makes bedrock feel like its missing something.

[@DerEngel-IRl]

Console edition was having Java bridging originally But i Like bedrock more than Java

To me this is so cool. I grew up playing Java mainly (started playing PE on an android tablet but then got Java MC for Christmas) and was always fascinated with the look of the legacy console, from just the different feel to the GUIs. Feels so cool to have someone finally made this!

[@Sand.]

I can't believe this guy only has 800 subs, this is the same quality if not better then people that have 1000x that.

[@Cappuccino_Rabbit]

I'm glad to know Java players can have a taste of what we Pre-Bedrock Console players used to have with Legacy Edition. It was a pretty competent port for its time. And ironically, sometimes i think 4J Studios seemed to care more about Minecraft than Mojang does, wished they could've moved to work for Bedrock.

[@RileyTasticPlays]

I honestly agree 100%
