Builds in early minecraft versions look very very cozy. I think thats because of the simplicity of minecraft back then, you didny have many options to choose what you wanna build with, and the alpha lighting also does a ton of work to make it look nostalgic
its also about the graphically changed versions over time. like cacti looked simple but fitting rn it looks great too on latest versions but just very detailed old versions had simple meshes whilst the newer ones overhaul the old ones with detailed meshes
People nowadays don't know how good they have it when it comes to crafting glowstone blocks - it took 9 dust to craft a single block in Alpha... and mining glowstone only dropped 1 dust!! SO frustrating
@Death to America gaming yeah censorship sucks. But most of the features that they added in general are cool. Like ancient cities or different kinds of wood
I feel like the extra legwork to build in older minecraft versions is what makes it so satisfying and rewarding to see to completion. I can get sucked into playing Beta or Alpha for so long despite how much less there is to do. You have a much more restricted palette of blocks and yet in some ways it's so freeing. Good vid.
yea i agree when it comes to content and adventure aswell theres a ton of really good mods on curseforge from back then that work still its like looking through old mod letsplay videos from years ago haha
What do u mean, are you saying the recent compositions incorporated into Minecraft aren’t of the same calibre? If anything the original soundtrack is too low quality for my tastes. Must have been recorded on an iPhone 4 🤮😂😂😂😅🥲🥲😂😂😂🤡
26:55 I couldn't agree more; I hope more RU-vidr's play the older versions of Minecraft and make it a new trend. I've spent 100 days in my own Alpha world and it's the most fun I've had playing in Minecraft in over a decade
One memory I will never forget about old mc is that I cried over a creeper blowing up my lapis block 😭 I was very scared of mining because of mobs, so I could never get diamonds. I put a lapis block in my house, pretending it was a diamond block and put two stairs near it to serve as a table. I somehow allowed a creeper to get in my house, the house was in ruins and my special lapis block was gone 😅😭
Because nowadays, they use just the bottom of the hitbox to detect the ladder instead of either the top or bottom. You can sorta replicate this by using trapdoors instead of the empty space, although this is Java exclusive, and trapdoors are more expensive than ladders.
This video brought me a certain happiness and nostalgia, especially at the end with the theme song. Reminds me of the first time I played Minecraft on my computer in the 2010s and later on Xbox 360.
As much as I love Minecraft now, this was the best game ever. You really had to get creative with the 5 world slots and very, VERY few blocks, and yet it went famous because of how fun it was. Pros and cons, but I prefer alpha and beta over modern day craft. My earliest memories of mc are me climbing up my bunk bed with MCPE on my iPad and dying to a spider while cozied up in a lil' blankie. And, it's kinda weird that Minecraft now, while having things like terracotta and more types of stone, just doesn't feel as good or realistic as original mc. Minecraft has always taught me to follow my own objectives in life. There is no ender dragon of your life, but you can set your sights as high as they need to be. Meet new people with cool skins, make houses together, get rich. Anything and everything I just said can be done with less than 100 blocks and some free time. Again, Minecraft nowadays is still crazy fun, but It's somehow less realistic than old Minecraft, and holds much less nostalgia then me getting dogged on by a Yoda skin on Xbox 360.
I used to play Xbox 360 but now sometimes I like to play Xbox One with my brother and sometimes I just like to play Minecraft on the Nintendo switch alone sometimes me with my sister and brother
funny thing is that banners kinda capture what everyone praises in early minecraft, because you're very limited with your patterns, so it feels really satisfying to pull off a cool pattern.
we're so used to do things in a hurry that when we play older versions, we discover that having a hurry to do things it's not as important as having fun. I hope that playing older versions and bringing that feeling that we had to the new generation of people who loves Minecraft becomes a trend.
I played the old pocket edition. While it wasn’t the same as Alpha minecraft it had similarities to Alpha. It also had its own unique features that dealt with device storage limitations.
@@darth3911 pretty sure when pocket edition came out (wasn't called bedrock until much later like 2016 I think?) It was whatever version right before beds came out lol good ol wool and stone "beds" were so common
Sameee. I was so surprised with the nether core device thing (i don't even remember what they were called) I thought that was a fake thing like the aether, very much surprised when it actually worked
My brother and I use to convince people we made the TU11 tutorial world. In retrospect, they probably believed us because we had an older version than anyone else because we didn’t have Xbox Live so we couldn’t update the game passed the version on the disc and everyone else had newer tutorial worlds.
This is actually an idea I’ve done for fun before. Starting with older versions and working up to get everything the old school way is fun. I like it for the nostalgia but I can see how a new player wouldn’t want to play this way
There ARE actually sounds, as well as skins, in all of these versions! All you need is to use the betacraft proxy java argument when launching the game, or use the betacraft launcher. It fixes A LOT of problems that have arisen in the 13 years since these versions released. If you ever were interested in a part two, I'd be happy to talk and help make producing the series easier (and look better ;P). Thanks for the video! all this coming from an old school minecraft nerd with too much free time :D
this was a ride of a nostalgia trip for me. Thank you for letting me swim in nostalgia, thinking about my first minecraft world on PS3. i think i still have the console i played on. im gonna check out my old worlds now.
24:45 I don’t remember what update it was, but it’s possible you were in the one where you took damage if the water was only a block deep. At some point the water had to be at least two blocks to avoid damage. (Depending on the height.) I don’t remember when that got changed.
This video was so inspiring, and it wasn't even intended to be inspiring. In other words, you did fking amazing brother, you did absolutely amazing in this video. I am waiting for 200 days, and shall be patient in hopes that your viewers patience will give you time to make the 200 days as good as this video. Thank you Elder!
holy the nostalgia of this video is crazy especially the music at the end (mc music) I remember when me and my dad were playing mc together and I found out how to go into creative and spawned like 1000 horses but it is so nostalgic
This was such a great video. Deadass I enjoyed this so much like it was really fun seeing you collect all the blocks and then building stuff in such a nostalgic way. I'm currently building a survival world in the beta 1.7.3 minecraft version and I wish I could be as good as you lmao
Seeing the simplicity of builds in Alpha really drives home how much easier it was to build stuff back in the day without having an anxiety attack trying to choose from 400 different materials to construct your base out of. Loved the editing of this video! Can't wait to finish it later while I'm building in my own world. Good stuff man!
This is one of the only videos of old minecraft I watched the past few years. This hit me in a different way. Minecraft is just a different game than other games.
I’m proud of you for playing the oldest Minecraft because people forgot about it and started to like the updates even more since mobs and animals became popular for some reason As I hear you explaining and talking about building the castle and everything I was relaxed, especially the music in the background and I’m happy about that I nearly fell asleep to it So thank you for uploading this video of an old Minecraft ❤
Watching this video brought so many good memories from when I played alpha as a child. Life was so peaceful and carefree back then. I will definitely revisit older versions of minecraft. Waiting for more videos like this one! ❤️
28:20 same, this happened once and it was a multiplayer world with my nephew and we both lost the base. Luckly I built a cobble tower and we found it again :)
@@saadaslsahli133it's also good though but it's not difficult as older versions you have to put like million of torches but in today's version noone cares or make torches(except for decoration) and lots of stuffs
The most exciting thing ever was when I found a dungeon sticking out of the side of a mountain and I didn’t even know what it was - I just knew it was scary and I liked the mossy stone so I took it home and made walls out of it for my house . The ambient cave noises scared the crap out of me back then too hahaha
Got nostalgia flown all out of my head when i see this, i even cried because like its old and i rememberedmy biggest build in alpha so thanks for making this video
