Why Did Notch Want ONLY 4 Hearts in Minecraft?

If Notch developed the game exactly how he planned early on, the health system of Minecraft could've been very different...

Bro regretted his decision and came back lol

[@MysteryOre]

I regretted my approach 100%. This channel's audience is dedicated to Minecraft (duh). Trying to force a shift like that wasn't going to work. I still plan on creating another channel for general gaming under a different name.

[@smoche]

​@@MysteryOreits all good man you, got the charisma and storytelling prowess to build an entirely different audience not centered around minecraft . i hope you keep making videos man.good luck!

[@jar207]

Nah his channel is dead

[@Vassalago]

thats actually a really fun idea since theres a real incentive to use your levels selectively, saving some to have more health instead of burning through them all during enchanting and if it keeps going up the amount of hp youd have for hoarding levels would be nutty

I have been watching you videos since the ‘’ beating Minecraft as Mojang intended’’ and it’s good to see that your videos still have quality, keep the good work

[@riphy1]

glad you still decided to make a video about this!

[@genericallygrace]

It's crazy that I timed stumbling upon your channel to when you came back to uploading another banger video I really enjoy your content!! you should keep posting no matter the upload schedule 💗

[@fireeyegaming6673]

Sup! Good to see you uploading again!

Hey man, the animation at 0:12, where did you find the raw version of that? because i've been looking for years.

[@Nephelangelo]

A lot of Notch’s ideas were honestly not that great. He didn’t seem to have a great grasp on the difference between an irritating chore and a rewarding challenge.

[@thirachi5836]

i think the hunger system is one of the worst offenders ever

[@Nephelangelo]

How would you change it? The hunger system doesn’t bother me too much, but the durability system for instance I think is a tedious disaster. @@thirachi5836

[@cygnusedge6847]

@@thirachi5836Yup. I preferred the game way back when hunger didn't exist. But that said, you also couldn't sprint back then either. So it's a tradeoff I was willing to take.

[@NebulaAccount]

not initially, he eventually settled on good choices

[@Nephelangelo]

He settled on some good choices, but not all of them. Some bad decisions still haunt the game. @@NebulaAccount

[@Ice-Qube]

I really think that Minecraft needs at least one more slot for Backpacks/Wings. Especially with the inventory problems there are. I just want that so I can be in full Armor and have Wings.

[@WillBinge]

2:10 holy shit notch came up with the idea for curio/bauble slots

[@HalfBreadOrder]

we need this as a mod ( but with the limping having no damage sfx )

[@DDAS_INSANE]

good to know that you're back

[@user-ku7et2cb5s]

There is a reference to this in the minecraft related novel “the end”

[@BlakeBuildsLEGO]

Yo when’s the hardcore survival series coming again?

[@wheresjune]

HE'S BACK

[@Blasterboi___]

We need a longer video

[@CasualProPlayer]

You have an opportunity that many creators would love to have, including myself, I think you should put your heart into this channel, I am taking great inspiration from you and learning quite a bit from your storytelling skills and charisma. This channel is in the algorithm so make the most of it!

[@henrydidathing]

I am so happy he came back to the Minecraft seen I love his vids ❤

[@MiniMasterGG]

The armour idea retuned with wolf armour.

[@gdottothegamer1001]

Ah.. so kinda like a rouge-like. That'd be cool. I honestly would love for them to bring that mode. Just the health/xp thing, the rest can stay behind

[@KingNoahCraft5]

BRO IS FINALLY BACK!! You should bring back your old towny server ;)

[@Sonistic]

It's good to have you back

[@wtftargariyan1592]

Waiting for the next hardcore episode.... 😊

[@UnreleasedVines]

He finally stopped hybernating

[@Micha-Hil]

1:49 You know what's funny? Quake 3, a game that Notch used to be extremely fond of, didn't have armor that worked like this at all. Armor absorbs 2/3 of damage if you have any equipped, although I feel that there was a build of Quake that changed how much damage Armor absorbed depending on how much you had. But it's pretty funny to think that Armor in Minecraft would work more like megahealth than actual armor.

[@NEWGHOST9]

Let’s be glad for the most part that none of those ideas happend Though an equipment that guves a passive would be good

[@bax_master]

Ya he visto a virios pasar por esto, ejemplo; flowstate, creo que puedes ir progresivamente subiendo otros videos, pero no dejar al lado del todo lo que te ha llevado a la cima, que bueno que seguiste con esto, si creas otro canal, sin duda pasaré y te observaré, has sido una buena inspiración para mí, posdata, lo que me gusta de tus videos es la edición acelerada, las transiciones épicas, los efectos de sonido, la música de ambiente, la forma tranquila y graciosa de narrar, y ese tenue humor negro. Posdata 2 te escribo en español para que sepas que tu contenido cautiva en varios idiomas y eso que mi inglés no es muy bueno. Saludos aunque probablemente no leas esto jajaja.

[@DiamondMinerDJC00]

Damn, so baubles was just gonna be part of the base game? Man, that would've been sick... And the alternate XP/Health system would have been a neat gamemode option.

[@Nathator97]

no way hes back from the dead! I remember your beating minecraft the way mojang intended it video! glad you are back!

[@mysiklp2509]

Cool that the old armor system he wanted made its way into the wolf armor

[@Noah73827]

It’s insane how different Notch’s vision of Minecraft was to how it ended up

Oh he's back

[@DragonG]

will you continue the hardcore series, if so ill resub

[@HappyPlaysWasTaken]

Can you give the link of the posts in this video

[@smelloodle1070]

A lot of the ideas seem like worse executed Terraria features, like being able to equip items and gaining health as you progress.

[@gabrielleblanc287]

Yessss, he's back baby!

[@Infisrael]

What is the reason you first uploaded it as a short and then as a full video?

[@istvanbarta]

I don't like the others much, but the XP dependent HP sounds a fun challenge actually.

[@TJ-hg6op]

It would just be an extra slog after drying really. You die, kill like 10 mobs and go back to how you were a minute ago before searching for your items again.

[@boxtopy7286]

No way he’s back lets fucking go

[@JasmineKhatri]

They should make it so that we only have 1 inventory slot, and you have to craft more

2:29 the leather items look like the old Minecraft textures. Also quiver

[@LeeSpork]

Yes, those and the sword and apples textures were originally from that game and re-used for Minecraft

[@SawBSketch]

i would imagine that less hearts, like 3 or 4 similar to zelda or isaac, the damage could only be dealt either half a heart for common damage, or a full heart for rare heavy damage.

[@tomilesean]

You should make a video on that
