Looks like 1.18 is very small and minor update, but it changed the whole generation of the world. It reminds us, that this game has not only mobs, blocks and items
I agree with you on that. 1.8 is the last "old era" version of minecraft. 1.12 is the last version that feels nostalgic because it's the last version with the old textures. 1.19+ feels not like Minecraft anymore for me, so that's why I stay on 1.18 and don't update beyond that version.
Yeah, feel the same, i was amazed and so confused when elytras and the rest of the 1.9 stuff came out, felt so weird. At that time i also kind of did not like it, but had to move on. 1.8 is still my favorite one, maybe also bc i started playing on that version
@@senfontijn8601I was like that too, but consider trying to play on mods on 1.20. You don't notice the 1.19 and 1.20 changes at all. It plays like 1.18 with maybe a few bugfixes and features that you might stumble on once upon a time
@@senfontijn8601why so stubborn? With such mindset you would be still playing pre-classic because "having mobs doesn't feel like minecraft, I only want to build stone and wood houses"
I love how there were weekly updates back then that would add small little things into the game and on one of those updates, they just casually drop the entirety beginnings of redstone which changed the course of the game forever for most players
@@quintencabo snapshots are a bit different though. Thats the dev team giving access to features that they have been working on for months so that they can hunt for bugs or user feedback. Snapshots only come out each week for only 6ish weeks before a major update (which concludes to 12ish weeks a year)
Something that we don’t really see in any minecraft updates is the code. The base of the game was added fairly quickly in 2010/2011, but the code was a mess. Part of the reason why the updates take longer now is because the code has to be standardized. Messy code is faster, but it’s harder to work with in the future.
reversed engineering in programming is not a new thing and they can do it, the problem is - they already did it… by releasing an separate game (bedrock edition)
@@qwertious Everything up until 1.6.4 is Minecraft . 1.7 is when Markus Persson knew he is going to sell the game , so its an experimental period , and 1.8 onwards is Microsoft Property (pink sweater epstein island bill gates's property).
No. No that's no fair. No. I remember playing the game and getting the Ender Dragon update. It's not fair. I can't be that old. That can't have happened in 2011
if it didn't break your brain that someone could group together all the Alpha and Beta updates which were individual significant moments in your life then you ain't even feeling old yeet
as someone who used to always play minecraft as a kid and then just now got back into it, this is really helpful! theres just been so many updates since I’ve last played that it becomes super confusing to me when I come across a new feature 😭. like smithing tables??? netherite??? no idea but it’s fun to learn more about what I’ve missed since then!
literally same 😭 i’ve been getting into minecraft content more recently but i haven’t really played in so long that ocelots and cocoa beans are still “new” to me. it’s practically a different game now haha
Me personally, I actually like the new minecraft. It amazes me how much has been added and I’m always excited to see what is next in line. They have yet to add so much more
I want to like it, but the universal moderation system that was added in 1.19 ruined it. Not even because it's a moderation system (though I'd argue that it's a bit overreaching), but because of how it logs conversations in a way that I'm surprised didn't result in the EU banning the game.
@@oliverspencer2390 Thing is, big multiplayer servers like Hypixel generally have enough moderation staff to handle it themselves. They don't need Microsoft butting in trying to do their job for them but worse.
it was really cool seeing how the original game progressed as a pocket edition player. i don’t tend to watch longer videos about it, but i remember when we had all kinds of carpet but we had no horses and red stone had no function and couldnt be crafted.
It actually was though. I remember opening up 1.17, playing around with the new blocks, and then getting bored and waiting for 1.18 to release so that I could explore the new caves and mountains.
It was actually the real one lmao 1.17 just added the blocks in random places, 1.18 actually added the new cave generation/biomes but I don’t like it tbh
1.17 added all the blocks from the caves and cliffs update and 1.18 added the new generation. In 1.17, it was impossible to get half of these blocks since the new cave and mountain biomes didn’t spawn yet. So they had to add ‘temporary’ ways of getting all the new blocks (using a cauldron for powdered snow was the only way to obtain it, moss from shipwrecks was the only way to get all the lush cave blocks ect) but these features ended up staying in the game. So that update basically added half of the blocks from 1.17.
Been playing since 2010 during Alpha, it's just insane how different of a game it is now. I tried to make an alpha world in Java recently using the old version launcher thing and its just so different.
That’s because early Minecraft was created by one guy, so the original version was naturally pretty empty and lacking in content. I’ve also been playing since Alpha, before compasses were even introduced, and Minecraft today is simply a far better game. @@MarcinKralka
@@Nephelangelo It isn't better. Villagers have now diamonds for sell, so you don't have even to mine, also mining is pretty fcked up. The beacon haste 2 was so useful, because you could instant break stone, and that was cool - until came in 1.18 update what added different stone, what can't be oneshoted, even with highest advance items avaible in survival mode. It's not anymore minecraft, there is only craft
Sorry, but I’ve been with the game every step of the way, and Minecraft is infinitely better than it was in Alpha, even in its broken state. @@ScarllordTheThirdLoyalGreedy
I also was playing since Alpha but seeing only two redstone interactable thing (which is doors and tnt) confused me. Was Alpha really lacking redstone mechanisms so much?
Think I bought it in 2010. Played it a little and couldn't get into it. 13 years later, I have a strange addiction to it, and my kids like to watch me play, lol.
@@GeminiWoods Got my kids playing Horse Update… about 8yo son, 6 daughter… Played silly made up games like, “13 Minutes to Diamonds” or “Dark Night Dark Forest” (overnight in dark forest wood tools only) Silly stuff. I’m so casual I’ve never faced Ender Dragon!
Heard about Minecraft for the first time back in 2011, but I was watching only videos in YT about it. Then, I left it for many years. I got interested for the first time in Summer of 2019 (1.14 Village Update) and played it about a few weeks in an unofficial launcher. But my real interest started in January of 2021 (we had the 1.16 Nether Update this period of time) when I bought officially the game and now I'm playing since this date!
@@tasglnpmrtdeep3832 My style is more exploring than grinding. Meaning I punch wood, get stone, maybe iron. Burn wood for charcoal unless I stumble onto coal, make torches, small or cook anything I might have found, plant wheat near a river or ocean, maybe make a bed and go hiking or boating. Seeds generated by phrases or things that come to mind. Current seed TheTraxler. I’ve seen the old brick pyramid, 2 or 3 pink pigs, one igloo, 3 temples, countless pyramids, accidentally found 1 end fortress, quickly left because I don’t do silverfish mountain mining, 1 mansion I was geared up to clear and call home…. Found giant duck, got bored. Saw invisible spider, brown mooshrooms, charged creeper, iron golem with red poppy, never saw skeleton horsemen or zombie horse. I just can’t grind, find Nether tedious, but often use to fast travel to new portal out. Funnest moment was playing hard core in a world I did grind a tad, I’m farming and “phszzzz” creeper, oh no! Too close, the slow motion million thoughts at once of a hardcore world at its end. Flying upward I see I’m half a heart! Yay! Next, “Philphy fell from a high place.” The comedy well made up for the finality of one of my few stay and play worlds. TheTraxler is stay and play, hope to proper finish… grinding.
@@maxtes252You gotta understand the early day updates were there to build the game from the ground up and it was largely worked on by 1 person who could add anything to his own imagination. These days, Mojang has to be very careful with their new updates so there's a lot of scrapped material.
@@artemis_furrsonif you are solo you are supposed to be slower than a whole team backed by Microsoft xD Yes working at the beginning of a project is quicker but there are far more employees working on it now and it is very easy now to add biomes, mobs, blocks
@@Fox13440 No. It is a lot more quick for a single dev to work on a game like Minecraft because the process is not as slow. The reason why Mojang doesn't pump out updates as frequently as they used to is because they have a bigger team.
aquatic, village and pillage, nether, and caves and cliffs were some of the best updates in the game's history and they were all so close to each other
@@thunderheadcinema6743 at first I was really interested in those blocks when they were added but quickly got tired of them and started to dislike them. Somehow it never occurred to me that it was an option to genuinely just not play the latest version.
Eh I think that's kind of unfair considering they essentially had 2 updates worth of dev time to work on 1.16 (considering 1.15 was virtually non existent in terms of content).
Okay okay, this changed everything. Everyone's complaining that Mojang is barely adding anything each update. But this... Kinda proves they're doing more than what they used to. It just looks like less because of how much they have to build off of. Adding the same amount each time looks progressively smaller each time.
Started playing around when horses were added and I think 1.8 was the best point of the game. I stopped playing around 1.10 I think then picked it back up around 1.14. Dropped it again after 1.17 and just recently started playing again in 1.20. This game defined my childhood 👏
New textures are so much better than the old ones. Yeah many of us like the old version because it feels nostalgic, but objectively speaking the new ones look far better.
@@JacksonNicolaides well I absolutely don't agree, sorry. The old textures looked clunky and unprofessional. Especially netherrack, it was a visually painful mess
This made me realize I indeed started playing the alpha version. I knew it started playing in 2010 but I thought it was the beta version and the years didn't add up. Seeing this, I don't think there were different woods yet. And I remember when the enderman was added.
Não consigo entender a comunidade do Minecraft. Reclamam que as atualizações são pequenas e pequenas. Mas não vêem a diferença absurda na quantidade de itens novos, mas consideram "grande" o novo bioma feito do mesmo bloco? Pasmen!
I recently got back into Minecraft. The last time I'd played before that was indev apparently, since we didn't have doors or minecarts. You can imagine playing it now feels like a completely different game
the purple shulkerbox was added in 1.13. when shulker boxes were added the regualr one was called the "purple shulkerbox". also brown dye was added in 1.14
Pre-Classic -> Beta Classical Era (Bare basics game that captivated the world) 1.0 -> 1.3 Golden Era (Peak Minecraft, when the game had the same feel but updates were exciting) 1.4 -> 1.6 Silver Era (When command blocks, effects, and more took hold of the game and it began to get a little complicated, but was still the same core game) 1.7 -> 1.8 Bronze Era (When they changed the textures and began making big changes to the game. No longer felt like the same Minecraft, it was a new game now) 1.9 --> 1.20 Modern Minecraft (The current feel of the game. Huge updates, lots of colors and blocks and mobs, every update has to be unique)
I'm feeling old. Started the game on the second version ever released. On the beginning you had 4 or 5 starting map, and no way to make a procedural world
started playing on PS3 around 1.5, broke the disc and got Java edition for my birthday after missing 1.7 AND 1.8... i was mystified by everything that changed. I played a lot of Java til around the 1.13 snapshots where my computer couldn't run it anymore (old af), so once I got a new one during lockdown I had 1.13, 1.14, 1.15 AND 1.16 to learn. Since then I've been keeping track of updates and watching minecraft lives... I meet a lot of people good and bad, but Mineceaft has always been the one thing we can get together through. it's satisfying to see how a game grows alongside me :)
It makes me feel so old to think that it’s been 10+ years since I used to sit at lunch with my friends and talk about the new updates. Specifically, I remember starting in 1.2 and I stopped playing Minecraft as my main game after 1.14. Fun times, fun times.
I've been playing minecraft since 2013 and played every update since then and you'll be hard-pressed for me to play anything older than the latest version for more than a month
I discovered the game in 1.3 and played for a while until 1.4. Then I left for a long time and returned to play at the best moment: just when 1.16 (the best update in my opinion) was about to roll out. It was a shock, so many new things!! It felt like "Minecraft 2", almost a different and more advanced game. When I look back at 1.3 I can't believe how simple the game was, now I can build amazing things that I couldn't even dream of back then.
No wonder no one was talking about killing the dragon when I was a kid. I remember some kids in class started playing Minecraft and when I saw it being played it was literally just running around and punching trees lol. So cool how big it has gotten
If id want any update to go away, i would pick triales and tailes. I dont like how many random features it has and tho its not bad, i wouldnt say its too good either
Oh and let’s not forget one of the most important changes in 1.3: the creative inventory went from one big long list of items to a tabbed menu - with a search function. That was HUGE for me as a mostly creative player.
I remember when I jumped off the highest part of the playground to fake an injury “I actually got pretty hurt”😂 just to get out of school because spawn eggs got released that day. Can’t believe that was 12 years ago. Feels like yesterday, I guess we’re all grown up now.
I don’t understand the nostalgic part of the game except for the new texture and the combat system. Like when a new update drops the majority of the old things are still there and you can definitely play it the old way. Started watching Minecraft videos back in version 1.2.5 and later getting it and playing on version 1.5.2.
This actually shows a lot about just how big the updates are getting nowadays. Imagine how outraged the community would get if this was all we got for a major update today: 0:40 Some people are saying that updates need to be bigger or more frequent but I think we’re just too spoiled. I really appreciate all the hard work that Mojang puts into each update and how hard they work to keep this game fun and enjoyable. Thank you Mojang!
My favorite animals in the game are pigs, cows, chickens, mooshrooms, creepers, bees, pandas, horses, parrots, dolphins, donkeys, mules, polar bears, llamas, camels, and foxes.
fun fact: Rubies were supposed to be in game for villager trading instead of emeralds. it got removed because redstone and ruby ores too similar so rubies were replaced with emeralds.
TIL I joined after Indev but right before Infdev. I remember ladders being introduced, and then later updated. People got upset that their abuse of a ladder bug (where they only had to put a ladder every OTHER block to climb up) was "ruined" and now they had to use "TWICE AS MANY LADDERS!!" (read: the obviously intended original amount of ladders, one per block) Don't base a build on top of a bug, people.
I started playing Minecraft since 1.12 (at 12 yo) and "stopped playing" before 1.15 was out. Now I'm back (18yo) and I've NEVER been so shocked, everything is very new to me and I feel like I've missed on so much knowing that 1.14 the village update was such a big update to me at the time it was out. I'm still so happy to see the game evolving and adding new things but damn those caves are huge 😀
Dude the nether update is goated, they added 4 new biomes, 5 new mobs, 1 of witch as an entirley new structure that has 5 varents, a Whole new ore, they haven't added one of those in ages, they added ruin portals, 2 new wood types, a new stone type, a new enchantnent a new music disc that is imo the best in the game. new armour and tools that look so sick along side some of the best looking blocks in the game. menwhile you got the buzzy bee update to before it up that added a new mob and 4 new blocks....
@@w_zizobuzzy bees update fixed somewhat around 700 bugs for java edition + performance optimizations as far as I know. Sure bedrock players didnt benefit from that, but they got bedrock on playstation
I know it's been months since you made this comment, but it's absurd so I had to respond... I want to know where you got that 1.20 is LESS than 1.15! Both updates have a very large disparity in terms of content...
