the biggest change I'm thankfully for is freaking Swimming! you have no idea how annoying it is to try older mods that were from like 1.12 and not be able to swim.
I kinda like the fact that you originally had to jump into 2 blocks of water to stop fall damage. That makes a lot more sense than jumping into knee deep water to stop a 5 story drop
The netherrack change is the one I notice the most blatantly between versions. Something about that original texture was immensely offputting (which it was probably supposed to be because nether lol).
11:00 - "thousands" is a huge understatement. You could literally sail for hundreds of thousands blocks before hitting another continent, as worlds were by design continental back then
It seems like the maps does have some north south pool vibe with tropic islands and stuff idk Minecraft still feels inaccurate with the map biomes and there just all mountains now..
Funny thing about the Golden Apple crafting recipe change: It happened thanks to Hermitcraft's UHC series (Ultimate Hardcore). It was a gamemode in which people gathered resources before fighting each others, the catch being they couldn't regenerate health. To keep it interesting they had a pricier custom crafting recipe for Golden Apples so they wouldn't have so many extra hearts from a single gold vein. The devs (I think it was Dinnerbone in particular?) liked it so much they made the new recipe the norm, that way it'd be easier for people to play the new gamemode.
Hermitcraft is a SMP that was inspired by Mindcrack. Hermitcraft started in 2012, Mindcrack started as a singleplayer let's play by GuudeBoulderfist in 2010 which eventually turned into a SMP. Mindcrack faded out of popular minecraft culture in 2015 after a lot of controversies and due to a lack of activity on the main SMP server. Most viewers jumped to watching Hermitcraft at that time, because they were the only other significant SMP. Eventually, many players from the old Mindcrack SMP joined Hermitcraft : Docm77, Etho, BdoubleO100, VintageBeef. Many things can be attributed to Mindcrack : the General concept of a RU-vidr/Streamer SMP, Ultra Hardcore (UHC), many other minigames including King of the Ladder, Build Battle, etc. Most viewers that didn't watch them don't know this because those viewers mostly followed other groups of players at the time like SkyDoesMinecraft, BajanCanadian, JeromeASF, etc. which never interacted with Mindcrack in a significant way. Mindcrack did occasionally collab with other RU-vidrs, but it was very rare. For example, they sometimes invited CaptainSparklez for certain events. They also sometimes played minigames versus Hermitcraft. The group still exists to this day, but they are very far from the popularity they used to have. They also are a lot less family-friendly than they used to be, which does push people off of watching them. Mindcrack's peak popularity was in 2012-2013 when they were in the 3rd season of their SMP. They eventually decided to start a 4th season, but not everyone in the group was happy with that decision. Despite that, season 4 was a good season with many new players joining the group. Eventually, they started season 5, but the season felt a bit rushed and many players got bored quickly. Mindcrack decided to try and become a corporation which some players didn't want to be a part of, so many players left the group, including Etho and BdoubleO (who are now part of Hermitcraft). Hermitcraft started out as an unofficial fan server of Mindcrack, but quickly became its own seperate thing. They started gaining a lot of attention in their 3rd smp season due to the world being in amplified terrain, which made builds a lot more interesting. Eventually, they outgrew Mindcrack in popularity and that is how they are here today. Hermitcraft did host its own minigames and events, but most of them were inspired by Mindcrack in the beginning. They did come up with some unique minigames, but some events like their UHCs were very heavily inspired by Mindcrack. Mindcrack still organize UHCs to this day. They have played over 30 seasons of the gamemode. Their UHCs sometimes gain some kind of popularity due to the nostalgia that viewers have of the group.
Yeah, I started in beta 1.5 and I still remember thinking how redstone blocks and anvils and the such were really cool additions to the game, now I take them for granted!
It’s funny, 2012 Minecraft was pretty frustrating and inconvenient in general, but you still can’t deny how good it was for both laying down the fundamentals and sticking with them. Tough-loving nostalgia, I suppose.
Fun fact: On bedrock edition, there is no world border, and you can still go into these phantom chunks. The community calls this place “The Farlands” and it’s little strips of ocean, villages, and whatever normally generates, and can only be navigated through ender pearls
it’s the stripe lands, you can’t even use pearls since you will fall through the map, far lands are different, it’s caves cliffs and other bugs for terrain
No, we call it the stripe lands. The far lands were a pc bug from when they first added infinite world generation, and they look and behave quite differently to the stripe lands. -(Not to mention that you can't get to the stripe lands in survival because you stop being able to stand on the terrain at a certain point)-
The old skeleton mechanics pre 1.9 (6:19 in the video) also allowed you to make rapid-fire skeleton machine guns if you stuck a bunch into one block. After 1.9 the new mechanics just cause them to hit each other instead, similar to what happens if a player stood in the same block as the skeleton.
Kinda liked how disconcertingly fleshy and bloody the old Netherrack texture looked, but the modern one is definitely more aesthetically pleasing, if less deeply unnerving.
I'm just gonna say it, I like most of the old classic textures better. They looked better, seemed to have higher levels of detail, and just overall fit the aesthetic of the game perfectly.
All these facts are so nostalgic, since the first time I found out about Minecraft was way back in 2014. I remember the time when the villager spawning mechanism was based on "houses" (blocks over one side of the door and not the other side). The old netherrack texture, despite being a little messy to look at, makes me feel insane nostalgia. The simpler days when the nether looks more rough and hellish than it is today. (At the time, I was happy that it changed to a texture that looks more like the other stones (namely, cobblestone and end stone).) Speaking of textures, in my own private resource pack I changed the emerald block, diamond block and gold block textures to the older versions, since I liked them way better than the current ones. Seriously. Honestly, I really liked the update called "The Update that Changed The World", which made terrain much better, and also made exploring no longer pointless. Same reason why I liked 1.18 so much, because I absolutely loved the new terrain. Things have changed so much that Minecraft is no longer the same game I'm used to as a kid. In my own personal opinion, 1.8.9 feels like the most original Minecraft, since all the features starting with 1.9 all feel "new" in some way.
15:29 Bro trolled bedrock players 🤣🤣(no it dosen't work) It must be a rectangle (least height=3 blocks and width=2 blocks) anything smaller won't work in both of the versions.
@@bluekirby6120 is ok wait you test it wtf thats uhhh idk like i played the game 1.2 update that maked me wired when i heard you said test weird portal
@@lukemimnagh2594 it's the blocky pixelated look to it. It's like the original DOOM hellscape. The new version is just too smooth and loses that retro feeling.
I'm still used to the double tap method to sprint after all this years, since it's now something automatic in my mind, it was anoying back in the days at first, but after some times you just get used to it !
13:21 I played with this A LOT from the release of 1.3 until 1.7, as that was the only thing in the current versions of the game at that time that was even remotely similar to the Far Lands with which I was fascinated almost since I began playing. I even tried to fly all the way there once in a version before the commands were added (and gave up around 300,000). Now, the world boundary is very uninteresting, with only the world border and no unusual effects occurring there.
12:20 It's not just removing spam clicking, they also changed the hit delay and reduced the amount of knockback the could be dealt. That's why it was so controversial.
@@Jeremonkey90 True. I've never felt that removing spam clicking was a terrible idea to be honest. However, it wasn't worth the longer hit delay and strange KB.
I first played the game back on the first day of the original Xbox 360 Edition of the game, which was about when official release came out on java. Feels like forever ago
I first started playing around 1.2.1 I remember building a giant wooden frame with glass walls. That was my “mansion” with a single set of standard double doors. It’s where I experimented with red stone really early on. Never got much done. I’m really nostalgic for old Minecraft. Is new Minecraft better in many ways? Yeah. Do I miss some of its focused simplicity? Definitely. Edit: I remember a lot of these. The wool in the desert temples, boats breaking easily, water and lava source blocks in inventory, melting ice in the nether. All that good stuff. Who remembers the old creative mode inventory? No organization, just a massive wall of items and your hot bar, (as far as I knew) you couldn’t even go into your inventory without a chest!
I remember 80% of these (the only ones I don't remember are the ones I never used or attempted to use). I honestly don't know how I remember so much, though. After all, I was 5 in 2012. I was playing minecraft since I was 4, but obviously I was just a little girl wanting to make houses out of wool. I did technically tag along with my family on survival playthroughs, and we kept playing through the years, but still a mystery to me how I managed to remember all of this.
Problem if the chests had their own wood types: Chests can be made even when you use "wood type - with - another wood type". And to fix this, either spend days and days making chest combinations, or remove the option to make chests with multi-combinations.
I used to play the Minecraft demo with my brother, so the things I was weirded out abt when I got my first computer and played Minecraft in like 2018 1. Durability 2.phantoms 3. Golden apples 4. all the new textures 5. Different types of wood
I remember being scared when they first added squids back in 1.2, I don't think we had any water creatures and I wasn't aware they were adding them. All of the sudden there's this weird water thing and I didn't know if it was hostile or not. Also the old creative menu was cool despite being a slog to get through.
10:35 I made a chest room with my friends that absolutely infuriated them (because they couldn't figure it out, and yeah it was kinda complex, but also, not really) using the normal chests and trapped chests, the walls and floors were covered in chests and each one had, at the very least, a sign on them so you could see what's inside. The Chest Room is mentioned rarely, but those who remember fear it, because they are weak
The enchanted golden apple used to have a crafting recipe, it was 8 gold blocks. They removed it sometime and it was broken but it was an easy way to live through stuff.
@Wake Up. Bruh it should till be on here. Also that logic is terrible considering the netherack texture changing at the same time the enchanted apple was changed
The rails one you said that was fixed in 1.15 yeah that one, it didn’t get fixed in bedrock you still gotta place 1 extra rail to position it as you want.
"then" is used to use as what happened next , ex : "I was watching RU-vid , then the internet went down". " than" is used for comparing. e.g : "RU-vid is better than tik-tok".
Controversial opinion : the combat update was one of the best updates ever for minecraft. Atleast people using autoclick macro's in pvp get punished by doing almost no damage💀 pvp is supposed to be skill, not who has the fastest autoclicker lmao
I actually liked the old End because the Dragon was actually tough back then cause you never knew if you took out all the towers, and it was a little hard to keep your eyes on the dragon cause it never perched. It just rammed you and sometimes sent you plunging into the void.
It'd be cool to have that ocean darkness affect plus new mobs and structures in a new ocean biome called the abyss or something that would form in under water ravines or "trenches".
In my first world I had a tower of reactor cores with a whole in the middle that went down to the void, not sure what 7 year old me was thinking but I didn’t know what they were for so i thought it was just a weird looking block
i was maybe 4 at the time and my mom and I would just mine for gold and stuff and then make the reactor, then we would build the shrine thing around it. The pigmen didnt have a face at the time, they just had their skull kind of. I thought i was the only person that remembered it
another thing, if you wanted to see underwater, all you needed was a water breathing and a nightvision potion, and then the underwater looked as clear as day.
7:06 I once lost a hardcore world to one of these. I had fought mobs all night and was super weak, but the sun came up, I thought it was safe, and I died.
I remember the lava texture, they used to be brighter than now, they were more realistic than now, I'm not talking about the physics, I'm talking about the brightness, lava in real life is bright as that old lava texture.
6:31 This still happens in old console minecraft (ps3) I haven't played it in years, but I remember being half a heart in a cave in a hole and a skeleton showed up, failing all the shots while being in front
The nether thoroughly traumatized me when I was 5-6, and I remember that off-putting texture quite vividly. A ghast blew up our portal and we couldn't repair it, and when we died we returned to a random place in the world, so we had no way of returning home. I felt panicked and sick to my stomach like I was lost and alone irl, even though it was just a game. To this day I still feel uneasy about venturing into the nether, and I tend to avoid it altogether unless someone agrees to come with me. The sounds and noises in the nether spook me too.. they did well in making a place that feels dark, terrifying, and far from home, I suppose.
@@Ксюша-ь5ш4ш Sheesh. As a 2007 kid, I can't imagine *not* having minecraft from the age of 4-5 (I played on a laptop when I was 4, but just placed pink wool everywhere on creative mode, from what I can remember). And I have this vague memory of "SpoutCraft" on my mom's computer... still don't know what it is, or what it was. Weirdly, I remember it being this "forbidden button" when she let me play on her PC.
I started playing in 1.5.2 Oh my god I forgot how many things got changed. Especially the end pillars. I remember trying to download 1.6 for free because of the horses and ended up sorta infecting my moms laptop with tons of things before giving up. I also remember when everything was enchantable with any enchant and the silk touch book had silk touch.
Dang I remember the first time I played Minecraft it was when the game in creative mode would start you with materials such as bricks and glass and other stuff
I'm impressed that you FINALLY showed the nether portal thing. I keep seeing different shaped nether portals in your thumbnails and yet this is the first one I've seen made. Aside from that. I love how everything in this video is stated as if it's superior to 2012. It's just funny to me to see an opposite point of view.
Wow this game has changed a ton. I haven't played since the game got out of beta. I don't even know what half of the mobs in the background even are haha. Also, super weird to know they put a barrier on the edge of the world. I remember one of the big things happening early on was that guy trying to walk to the edge of the world and seeing the landscape just ridiculously messed up after a certain point. Anyway random rant about childhood over haha
wow, I didn’t even realize some of these things had changed! I still double tap W to sprint, and I have avoided mining with TNT ever since the day I didn’t get any drops from the ores
In my old minecraft there was no sprinting in water and very big oceans the jump button and move button where on left side it tooks forever to be on land
I only recently started playing minecraft again after not having played regularly since 2014, so the 2012 stuff is basically minecraft how I remember it, since that’s the year I started playing. The current version stuff is all brand new information to me, and it’s nice to see how much the game has been polished over the years.
Strangely enough I remember being able to use one of those old autoclickers on the bow. It would for some reason fire the bow on fully charge and basically be like a mini machine gun. Thoughts and feelings from anyone else, the old days were fun.
Skip, the custom nether portals in bedrock edition don't exist. I've just tried the heart shaped one exactly how you've made it on my nintendo switch and it doesn't work.
8:10 I actually liked old netherrack texture... the only problem with new one is... well there are some other blocks that would have to be adjusted to it to avoid the mess(nylium, nether gold etc.) Also I kinda miss big oceans too... I get why they may be annoying sometime... but in some scenarios also usefull.
@@redblade5556 yeah and when on want to make a huge build on ocean from which land will not be visible... the ocean may often turn out to be to small for that. or maybe I'm just so unlucky.
@@Lyokoheros-KLPXTV Well there are TNT dupers...so if you manage to make it also drop sand after the lit TNT lands...then maybe you can deepen it. If not deeper but wider just bomb the banks (the land the water touches). Also is it just me or is there too many rivers on mine?
@@redblade5556 I don't know, but I prefer peaceful and on peaceful gunpowder is very scarce resource... also I hate TNT duppers, they are far to destructive to my taste, to say the least(also there's no reliable way to get much sand(and gunpowder too actually), and also they would require to destroy big part of the desert terrain. And I HATE destructive solutions in Minecraft. Also before You tell ma about sand duplication(or mob grinders for creepers): I hate exploits(and yes, I consider mob farms exploits too... i make literally like 2-3 farms in my life and even that was because the game's poor design kinda forced me as that was the only reliable way to get some resources)). Also considering how water affects TNT I doubt it would work well for widening ocean areas... That's definitely not a solution. Not for me at least. Also i don't notice the problem with rivers. Maybe it's just matter of Your seed (if you like to try new one You can check out Minecraft and channel... but I warn You, this guy has so many gat seed that it is very choose one. You can also ask him in the comments of some particular one(I mean the requirements) and he most likely will point You to proper video or make one with such seed in not so distant future)
@@Lyokoheros-KLPXTV Well...that's why I stick with peaceful creative. The world is a canvas...and you use your blood to paint on it in survival. And other reason is is that my device (an android os tablet and is pretty old) can't run a normal world without crashing. So to flat I go... Currently in the process of building a castle (I also attempted to build it on a mound of dirt akin to a river, with a curve, so I am at least simulating building near a river). Been going on for 2 weeks...since the King's ascension.
