The thing with Legacy Edition is that it gives you the feeling that the developers actually cared about the game they were making, unlike Bedrock Edition.

If you didn't know, it's possible to get the legacy PS4 edition still. In order to do this, as long as you load the original PlayStation 4 Edition disc, without updates, and create a world, when you run the new version, it will detect the save and allow you to play the legacy version. This means if you have a friend who owns this disc, you can create a world with it, buy the new version digitally or physically, and then get the old version included

I remember owning PS4 edition since 2015 (On disk.), and when it was forcefully updated to bedrock, I never was given the "Editions" option... I literally didn't even know the option existed until watching this video.

[@mikaeel_m3243]

I think u need the digital copy, since I had it even on my ps5 (not the ps5 edition) since I had it, sadly I used it once, then the next day it wasn’t there, so I’m not sure if it’s one use only

[@tortoisewarrior4855]

me to. I even have the disc, but it broke along the way (so I bought it digitally) and I can no longer play legacy, which sucks because I think Bedrock was an enormous downgrade that achieved very little, so much so if Mojang announced the end of Java their would be such a large uproar that Hytale and other games might even be successful.

[@user-eg6gm2yv2b]

as long as you have a old world you can use edition, with or without disk. To i also lost the edition button, to get it back you have to save the two saves with the cogs in the cloud save, then delete the ones on the ps4 and reinstall them from cloud. There are some videos out there which explain this a bit better so i recomend watching them

[@HamzaXXX12]

Yo guys no need for old desk I just deleted it then put the desk back it downloaded the legacy

[@flameguy3416]

The version of Minecraft that isn't a mobile port, that doesn't lag on singleplayer offline mode, that pauses the game when you pause, that doesn't have dozens of bugs. Perfection.

[@ArtisChronicles]

Offline lag drives me crazy. At a point I thought the game was crashing.

You know you are getting old when your favorite childhood game version becomes a secret version of the game. Man I loved the ps4 edition playing with my friends on splitscreen, beating the game, stealing their stuff, I know it sounds cringe but I do miss those times and I think a lot of people will find this reletable. This game was and still is my childhood and I will play it even if people eventually start calling it a dead game.

I’m literally about to cry, you’ve just unlocked so many memories for me. I really miss the old amplified terrain generation especially the savanna it became my favorite biome when it came out. And just seeing the old crafting menu is just wow it was so iconic. I also remember when I first played the elytra mini game and it was so hard for me to finish the race. If only I remembered when and I how I first started playing Minecraft. Thanks for showcasing this video

[@RamiCrafy]

The only sad thing is that even though you have this version, you can no longer get the older tutorial worlds (except for the first one, the one that comes in the disc) If you uninstall the game and open it without updating, it will give you access to the old legacy tutorial map, but you can't select updates before the latest one, which means that all of those tutorial maps are gone :(

[@LisssardManN]

they are not truly gone, since they are probably available somewhere for download on java.. still sad that we can't have them on the true console edition tho

Watched the full video! This really makes me miss 4Jstudios. Like you said, it really felt like they knew what they were doing when making the game. Unlike the current developers, 4J was prioritizing game quality and making the game enjoyable and memorable (through the dozens of tutorial worlds, new skin packs and new maps (with each of them feeling special and unique, unlike the current "AMONG US 3AM SPACESTATION" type of maps you find on Bedrock now")). 4J wanted to make the biggest and greatest fanbase and the best playable game possible. They made that their number one goal. Not selling minecoins or tokens on a store where you tend to get worse quallity then 5 years ago.

[@Anonymouslikemydad]

Honestly I play Legacy Console just because it’s easier, I can exit the game without saving (say if I die), and I won’t have to worry about my game crashing when I went to open a door immediately after closing a chest

[@theformer1337agent]

the best feature for me of the old console versions were the ability to leave without saving. if you die in a world you can just go back to the previous save by leaving without saving. im so upset they dont have this ability anymore.

[@Hak-gion6]

ITS LIKE U R VERY FORCED TO PLAY FAIR AND NO CHEATING HERE AND THERE AND UR VERY FORCED TO QUIT & SAVE . MAAAN SCREW BEDROCK WHO EVEN EJOYS IT?

[@tortoisewarrior4855]

This was a good feature but I understand why they removed it in favor of keep inventory (which disables trophies). Personally I don't care too much for that feature, I won't judge anyone for using it. What does suck about bedrock was everything mentioned in the video, the fact the game doesn't pause and PS3 edition ran better is a joke.

[@peentz]

I mainly play on pc now, but I still occasionally boot up my ps4 and play this version of the game. The nostalgia is unreal. Especially all the OG official season corresponding maps. A whole christmas town, halloween amusement park, and a lot more.

[@jairusmp]

The old PlayStation version actually paused the game when you pressed pause so you didn’t have to quit and reopen your world every time you left your tv. And pressing the right trigger on an item in your inventory would tell you what the item does. Food or Armor would tell you how much hunger or armor it gave you, it would tell you what potions do, and what different red stone blocks do. After years of playing this game I still find this useful.

[@hermy_style]

[@Anonymouslikemydad]

@@hermy_styleI think on Bedrock it doesn’t exist cause Bedrock pretty much requires Internet to function. Even though you can play without it

The game got buggier, less optimized, crashes and a much worse UI, the legacy console edition had the best UI imo.

I remember as a kid exploring all the worlds that came along with the game and setting a super flat world to all tnt and watching my game drop 50 frames in 2 seconds and sitting in the mini game lobby for hours trying to find a way to get out. All the memories come back whenever I switch editions.

[@CrocoDylianVT]

a fun fact is that this also works on Xbox One or Switch but for that you must've owned the game even sooner, as those two updated to Bedrock in 2018, in fact the Switch one is the hardest to come across since it neveer released physically and lasted about one year before being replaced by Bedrock, however if you bought the game back then then you'll be able to do so, although if you didn't in time you still have a couple more options to try it out, dust out your old PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U or PS Vita and if you got Minecraft on those you're good to go, if you don't, well they're less than $20 on the used market anyways, the PS3 one is between $10 and $15 in my country in fact, and if you don't own any of those consoles they're also cheap in the used market, the other option is that if you have a relatively not so necesarily powerful PC (let's say GTX 1050 or RX 460) then you can set RPCS3, Cemu or Vita2K and play them through emulation, I tried it on an old GTX 1050 laptop I had with RPCS3 and it ran pretty well, even if your PC is not powerful to emulate PS3, Wii U or PS Vita, Minecraft is pretty easy to emulate, though idk if it's that easy for the Wii U or PS Vita versions as I just tried with the PS3 one

Additional things I miss from console/bedrock that I wish Java had: - Camera Leaning when you turn while gliding in the Elytra. - The colours of everything in 360/ps4. Looks way different than bedrock or Java but I can’t explain why. - Holding the jump button to go up while gliding with the elytra in creative mode.

[@yaya_is_real]

The reason for the colors is because everyone turns on the gamma all the way to max which makes it look like it's being bleached

[@V1Salvo]

TIP: if you have the disc version of Minecraft PS4 Edition, you can get the original launch version (before shields, coloured beds, etc.). You have to disinstall Minecraft and then disconnect your PS4 from the internet. Then, put the disc in and it will start “copying from disk” (because you will have no internet). When you load up Minecraft, it will be the first ever version that was available on PS4! I played it today and it was incredibly. The beds are all red, there are no shields and villages look so much different. The old textures of course. There isn’t the update acquatic either of course. It was incredible to play this version of Minecraft in 2023. PS. You can update it by just turning on your internet on PS4 again.

I switched over to Bedrock Edition back in 2019 and absolutely HATED it for so long. Years later, I'm pretty used to it, but videos like this remind me of just how much better we used to have it. There are only two things that Bedrock does better imo: 1. Infinite worlds 2. Crossplay That's literally it. I genuinely think the old Xbox 360/PS3 version was better in every other way.

No caves, no nether, no world size customization, literally a feature in some old version of pocket edition brought back to life because bedrock team is somehow worse than YJ an indie company at this basic feature.

I honestly wish 4j was the head of bedrock MC to this day. I like the new stuff and the ideas but old MC on PS was closer to Java (since it’s used the same code pattern as Java) then anything and I wish they kept it that way. I regret not liking the game 4j made, as it is to this day, imo a way better game to play. No stuttering, good optimization and well built for the console they each managed. It’s definitely less of a “Pocket Edition but on console“ and I miss it everyday. Edit: Hell even me and my friends played PS until it got outdated. No one in my friend group liked how Bedrock felt but was the only way to play on console- so we all switched eventually.

i remember the original version, and i still have it. one of my worlds i've had since the Editions version of minecraft, and having updated it from ps3 to ps4, then to 1.15 has had some interesting results. i had the superflat world depth set insanely high, being a layer of bedrock, the max amount of dirt blocks, and another layer of grass. as a result of that, everything is really high up in the clouds and it feels as if the height limit is really low. it sucks, but it gives you a little sense of nostalgia.

Dude, you should of tried generating the nether because I remember for specific texture pack maps they also made custom maps in the nether

[@WilledQuasar7]

I just wish they included the different update versions, along with this version. Imagine playing the first tutorial from a version in 2012. The ability to have every version like Java edition would bring back so much nostalgia. There is also a fabric mod I use for Java called Accurate Block Placing or something like that, that removes the delay when holding the place button and also makes it so blocks aren't placed on top of other blocks when holding the place button.

[@shilze1]

I don't blame the Bedrock team for how this stuff turned out. They're pushing Sisyphus' Boulder trying to play catch up with Java Edition, having to develop for 7 radically different systems at once and release each one on the same day as the new update on Java. Made worse by the fact that too major of a change could mess with all the Minecraft Store content. Even if they wanted to smooth out the experience for everyone, there's simply no time to do it, unless Minecraft feature updates just stop entirely for a few years. Despite all of this, I think players deserve to have the option to go back to the versions made specially for their consoles and their predecessors, no matter when they bought the game, in lieu of the ability to go back to specific updates (like Java players can do).

[@higueraft571]

Not to mention, unless they just leave Mobile in a ditch to die (they probably should), they'll NEVER be able to implement off-hand. ...and not to mention Version Select too, among other things.

Though a few things I don't like are, the sprint feature is kinda slow, like when u NEED to run, u rlly have to move the stick right and fast enough or something like that. And the camera movement, not as good as it could be but it works, and the last thing is to use buttons and doors, you have to hover the crosshair directly over it which can get annoying.

This is the only version I play, and I still play a lot. I have a world that I started on PS3 that is now about 9 years old. I remember I was so excited when bedrock was coming out to be able to explore almost infinitely outward from what I had built. I even built half a city on the edge of my world and was going to build the other half in the new Bedrock area. Ultimately I was disappointed in the Bedrock version for a variety of reasons and went back to playing in my world on the Legacy Console Edition and focused on making the space I had as cool as I could. I have several villages and bases as well as a massive cave system I have been carving out spread throughout the world and have been connecting them all with a road network. Even though there are many things that have been added in updates that I would love to have (bees, ability to place frames for maps on the ground, nertherite armor, the new cave generation, etc.) I still prefer this version.
