The Simplistic Beauty of Minecraft 

I agree, i like to imagine that this video will blow out just like many 10yr old videos out there, and people will watch this from versions beyond 1.20 or even sequels, and would feel... Nostalgic.

Poetic. Thanks for this, it has awakened a lot of memories of my inner 11 y/o starting a 1.5.2 survival world. Loved it.

i remember my "first world" was me trying to figure out why using the arrow keys to move didnt work. it took me 3 worlds to figure out how to move

The old minecraft brings back the times that I always wanted to feel

You reminded me when my friend started a server, main feature of which would be to start from old god-forgotten version, and slowly (once in a month) update 1 version ahead. We got lucky, and had the server blown up (60-80 players online), and as far as i can tell, this nostalgic felling was present there until 1.8. In this specific version they removed bedrock particles. They changed some rendering stuff, and made game feel "modern", they removed old illegal items (such as fire with animated texture, lava block, water block, portal block, yeah literally), and dupes (yep, we are anarchy players, and these are also part of our nostalgia). Old hacked clients such as nodus (i bet you remember this one) could even break liquids by hands. So yeah, old hacked clients also were part of my childhood, and i miss these times just like anybody else.

minecraft, no matter how many new structures and no matter how many updates they add, its always comforting to know that you can always go back to the older versions, at least on java

I remember doing weeks of chores for my parents to buy the game when it came out too, and watching that trailer over and over because I couldn't wait lol. Nothing will ever beat that simple joy and peace of experiencing and creating in my own little world, where the only limits were my imagination. Thank you so much for sharing this with us :)

I started on the Xbox 360, i still have it too. Minecraft was the first game I ever played. I still habe all of my worlds from when I first started and I visit them every now and then.

I still play on my original survival world from Xbox 360. Now I play it on my PC. It is fun to do all the new stuff. But, part of me loves the old parts that have not changed. The old mines compared to the new ones in caves and cliffs. The old jungle house I built and lived in, compared to the huge house I live in now. It really is a nostalgic feeling about this game and watching it grow up as you grow up in life too. One is for sure, I miss the old music.

dam bro, shoutout to paulsoarjr...i loved watching his minecraft with son series and also eventually watching his multiple unturned series

that hit me like a truck, thinking back on all those old memories. I wish I could go back

When I clicked on this I thought it would be way more popular, I don’t know how it isn’t it all looks so professional great job man!

5:08 ¡¡¡VAMO ARGENTINAAAAAA!!! Also, very good video.

My first Minecraft experience was in pocket edition 1.11. The memories go hard with that one.

I think that what made old minecraft so special was that feeling of isolation,the first structures like villages or desert temples were rare enough to make the world feel huge and lonely. Now you have over 14 unique structures that spawn way too often.

thanks for this, i was getting bored of Minecraft after playing it since its release. the pvp community really done a number on me, i got so competitive and better at pvp for the past many years, that i slipped away from my childhood, which was the infinite creativity in survival and creative. ive been trying to get back into survival, but ive lost that gut feeling of entertainment. this video genuinely has encouraged me to do survival. ty

Minecraft soava diferente, Minecraft soa diferente, Minecraft soará diferente. Sabe, eu ainda sinto saudades daqueles tempos mais simples, 1.2.5, 1.5.2 e 1.7.10, Minecraft é dificil de descrever; o sentimento que ele passa, mas o importante é aproveitar os bons momentos antes que tudo isso vire memória... Ou já virou!

Youre the most underrated RU-vidr on the planet i thing you deserve at least 50 thousend subscribers. And i would Say that instead of beta 1.6 i would play beta 1.7.3 its Just better and it still have the same feeling. And i thing that you should make more minecraft content like that i really like it and i guess 2 thousend people also like it So it would be nice if you would do this kind of videos. PS now im really nostalgiczną and playing beta minecraft server and its the most fun i had in minecraft ever.

Damn bro, time really flies doesn't it?

In my first world which is now unfortunately lost to time, in a birch forest I had built this sprawling "tree house" that went from tree to tree. Man I miss those days.

I started playing minecraft in the summer of 2015, and I still remember how I made a lot of worlds on my laptop (most of them were in the 1.7.10 version) and the time I had while playing on the old Polish servers. A few years later, I had to play on mobile instead and in 2020 I lost all of my worlds on my laptop. I eventually came back to playing on a laptop and I used to play on a server with my classmates, but then it died and I created a new world in 1.7.10 because of the nostalgia and I also have a world on the newest version (currently it's on 1.19 because I still need to upgrade my tools to netherite). I have a lot of stuff planned for both of these worlds

My first world was on oldschool pocket eddition and it was pretty bad but i was also realy young. It was a world with a mountain and a little clearing where my hime was (old pe worlds were eather realy small or i was just in the corner. I remeber my house was just a medium box made of random blocks with a big weat feild with a scare crow and a basement full of chickens. I also had a chest room next to my house (outside for some reason). I also realy liked stampy long nose so i died yellow sheep and called them my helpers. I then made a waterslide of yellow wool. I didnt even know how to craft tools so i just used a bone as a weapon. Sadly i deleted the world so i cant ever see it again😢

I have a pretty bad memory but I still remember playing on mine or my older brother's worlds and just figuring out the mechanics and stuff. It was still 2014 and I was having fun just fishing beside a flat village with a hole I dug a 2x2 water hole. I still remember some of those vague memories and I'm happy I could share them

your channel is so underrated! im wondering how are you still not popular yet. great video tho!

hearing about people's start into minecraft is such an incredible thing, thank you for sharing, sincerely

Love those Alpha memories. So much nostalgia and fun wonderment back in the day. I agree that new Minecraft just has a _bit_ too many mechanics now. Good video dude.

dang ive never watched a 5 min video abt a block game that deep

This video of yours is absolutely poetic. Practically fills me with tears of joy for the good old times. Thank you for sharing this with the world, I can't wait to see what is next for your channel, and for Minecraft itself. I'm not a Minecraft RU-vidr, but this game has held a special place in my heart for much longer than what I do now. I understand. Wish you and all the other Minecraft players the best!

Very nostalgic video. I remember that in my first ever Minecraft world, I was blown up by a creeper when I saw him being sad. But I have the same effect on some Minecraft servers, that with the time, got unplayable because of the new updates. And all the time that I went mining, I have flashbacks of me mining in the past, with the Beautiful musics of Minecraft in the background… Very nice video, usually, we don’t expect such good quality from small content creators, but you are clearly one of the rare exceptions. +1 sub Have a good day :D

my first version was 1.2.5, I wish I could return to those simple times

my first time playing the game was in 2012 shortly before the 1.4.4 update. my cousin introduced it to me a week prior after seeing me play a roblox game in which i was surviving creepers attacking a fort. he bought me the game and i made my first world. I wanted to see some of the stuff in the game so he switched into creative mode and started showing me some blocks, items and mobs. when he got to the creeper i said “hey they stole that from roblox” and he explained to me it originally comes from minecraft. then he got to the enderman. he told me if i looked at it, it would suck my soul out. being a stupid 11 yr old i thought he meant irl and began bawling my eyes out and he switched it to peaceful. I then made my first “”house”” in a mountain biome. i dug a staircase into the ground with a 1x2 hall and put the decorations into that small tunnel and surrounded the stairs with anvils to act as railings. this eventually lead to me getting super into video games and becoming interested in writing for them. Im 22 now and have a certificate in creative writing with A’s across the board. its the best memory i have with my cousin and overall in my life. he killed himself 3 years ago when he was 27 and im so happy he left me with that life changing memory. thanks larry for all the awesome stuff you did for me, wish i could have been there for ya like you were for me✌️💚

My first Minecraft version was some late version of beta, because I remember that not long after I started playing, game get an update to 1.0 version and added enchant table to the game 😊

i was also like 8 when when I saw minecraft

Cant believe this only has 5000 views

minecraft is an entirely different game now

that's how i felt playing pc gamer demo when i was 7 or 8, I had absolutely no knowledge of Minecraft, didn't even know how to use items (i dug a hole in the mountain behind the spawn) or how to build, even after playing it for the next 10 or more years through various versions, most notably 1.5.2 (I got stuck flying in creative and had no idea how to stop flying), 1.7.2 (had a minecraft world with my cousins over lan) and 1.8 (when I started playing on servers where I got to know most of current friends), the pc gamer demo still feels the most nostalgic, the sole map brings back memories of wandering around it, going into the underground lava lake, into the water cave, to the dungeon that spawned on the beach or to the sandy section behind it, the worst thing is that it's impossible to re-live these memories, exploring Minecraft worlds now feels way less exciting because of the amount of experience and knowledge about all the mechanics and mobs, there's just nothing to explore anymore and I hate this feeling with all of me, even if I wanted to play Minecraft it would get boring after an hour of playing it edit: guess who's having a nostalgia attack after finally finding their old world and looking at old screenshots from 2016

This dude finna blow up probably, there aino way you ain't with this video quality. All I can say is raise the mic volume in OBS, then move a little farther away from your mic, it'll improve the audio quality.

1.0 - 1.20 We've come a long way with Minecraft, whether it's Java, Bedrock, or 360. Minecraft will always be remember ❤

hello, to the new players in 5, 10, 15, years to come, I hope you enjoy Minecraft the same way we did as kids and even adults, I hope you cherris these moments. be you!, goodbye

200th sub

so proud of you!!!!

I also started on 360. I should really look at my old worlds...

I discovered minecraft bc of legos when i was 7-8yo 😂😂

you really deserve more subscribers bro, doesn't felt i was watching a video of a youtuber with just 55 subscribers, don't worry this video will blow up, well done you got me so nostalgic watching the video, when i started minecraft 3 years ago during the covid period during my online classes, i played 1.16.3 at that time the feeling of not knowing what to do in your minecraft world was so good not knowing how to get things, how to craft things, how do things work was epic discovering new things, working out on your home builds , exploring the world, not following cords and forgetting where your house is and dying and losing stuff was what i miss now i know almost everything in minecraft now and so there isn't a thing i struggle about how to start the game, get geared, beat the dragon doesn't bothers me now i remember my world that time, i played with my friend, we connected roofs of 2 of the minecraft oak village's church homes together and then placed rails and used minecart, it was so so fun there was no knowledge of sprint jumping and you would just wander about i don't know about you but i would just made chests full of stone tools so as to save iron and not use its tools, i would never wear armors and would decorate armor stands with them so as to not break armor and decided to wear it only when i went on an adventure on my boat it was so fun friend that is my best world ever and its very very nostalgic i've still saved the world i got minecraft playing like 10 12 hrs a day i loved and love it but the fun of playing it like a noob who doesn't knows was best no matter how much i try, i can't play like that ever again and the vibes minecraft gave those times , i can never get them back again :)

Great video man, bravo!

here at 5.1k views

I like your content!

This is probably the most nostalgic video I’ve watched. When I started playing, I turned off music but recently I have turned it on and it gives a little bit of that same feeling

I like these Minecraft philosophycal videos

Great vid dude

Ive stopped playing Minecraft a long time ago, but this video hit me hard.

This is great. Takes me back to when I first started playing in 2013. A let's play of your new world would be an awesome story to follow!

I'm the only one thats actually kinda crying???!

Well said.

This is so good I just got a reminder of this nostalgia so good you earned a sub

I feel like the thrill of playing Minecraft for the first time isn’t the same as playing Minecraft for like the 1000th time, it’s like you know what’s going to happen, even if you create the greatest roller coaster in your world, you start to feel bored. Same thing with games like Roblox, or Like the Lego Games, what I’m trying to say in this message. The more time you play the games that you loved, the more boring it becomes

It's interesting i get that feeling of magic and nostalgia playing beta 1.7.3 even tho my first minecraft was way after the release. Old minecraft really feels special. Btw you should make a world tour video!

I always loved leaving the real world. My personal world was just better. More peaceful with no work, no pain and no trouble

Very good video, really captures the essence of what it was like back then. Little narration tip; you may want to edit out the breathing between lines, especially after a sentence. It gives the statement a bit of a tired feeling sometimes, like you're out of breath. Just my take though, keep it up!

Nowadays Minecraft is filled with useless updates. Back then each update had a meaning and was actually useful. Now we wait a year or even longer for useless mobs and features.

Started in Beta 1.2_01 on a cracked client, on a potato laptop. The game has indeed lost a bit of that core magic it had back then. There was no Ender Dragon, no advancements, no grand goals. It was you, the fantastical world generation, simple soothing music, extremely simplistic yet dangerous enemy coding, and the restriction on blocks and how you could even place them (no upside down stairs or slabs for example) made you have to work alot harder to make something that looked really, REALLY good. No sprint or swimmode back then, aswell as the old janky behavior of boats, letting you make waterfall elevators, EATS roads and advanced (espescially with the limited blocks and forms of it) redstone contraptions to get around. It truly did feel like digital Lego, but where your selection of available piece types was limited. No overwhelming amounts of choice, no mechanics overflow, no distracting Main Goal. Just you, your time, and imagination. And the custom premade maps. These words will trigger extreme nostalgia in some readers: Vex' Super Hostile map series.

At this point, I consider old and modern Minecraft as a different game. My first experience with Minecraft was with version 1.5.2, I ran a server from 1.13 up until 1.16 which was when I played most actively. After which, I have swore off modern Minecraft for game design and chat moderation reasons which I disagree with. But recently, I discovered Better than Adventure, which is a modification based on Beta 1.7.3. Despite being based on an older version than I know and being significantly more buggy, it immediately felt just right. I soon jumped in hosting another server for it, seeing where this lands. Currently this server is the 4/5th biggest BTA! server and an amazing place to just play a version of Minecraft I still enjoy. I also have a server for Vintage Story, but as incredible as this game is, it does not have the same magic to me. It is a game which I continue to return to, it goes through a similar process as early Minecraft did but is more polished. But the same can be said of BTA! and this focusses on the simplistic beauty you are talking about here. While adding fun and unique things that keep the game feeling Vanilla, but still interesting.

Dude good job this hit me in the feels

I remember the first time I saw Minecraft was in May 2011 at age 15 when an student at our school played it on his laptop. I remember being confused about the graphics, but also interested in the game mechanic of building everything from blocks. Then later in September 2011 I discovered it again by the german youtuber Gronkh who made a Lets Play series of it (his Lets Play series actually has over 1000 episodes and lasted a few years) and immediately got interested in it and loved it due to the creative possibilites and unique concept. I downloaded the PC gamer demo version (the one where you can only play 100 minutes), and then later in 2012 I bought the game (11. February 2012, Full Release Version 1.1, I still remember it exactly) and immediately loved it. I watched a lot of Minecraft youtubers back then for inspiration and early on started experimenting with textures. Most people say Minecraft is childhood nostalgia for them, but for me it is late teenager/early adult years nostalgia. 2012 to 2014 was the first golden age of Minecraft, the time I was 16 to 19. After that I reduced my interest in it (partly due to my studies and other things in life), but a few years ago, the nostalgia made me come back to Minecraft, also the many great new updates that added so much amazing new stuff. One freebuild server I played on since 2013 is actually still alive and active today with the same old map since 2011, and I still play on there sometimes today.

Beta 1.7.3 is most nostalgic, I remember in 2013 i saw a video of Romanian playing version 1.0 and its so nostalgic.

i hate how people can't get over the "good old days" of minecraft. The alpha/beta stage lasted like 2 years out of what, 12+ years of minecraft's existence? All the quality of life features are missing from even beta 1.7.3, not to mention the building blocks and exploration stuff.

Can totally relate. Love the good old times, where everything was so simple. Just go, create the first world, try to survive the first night and lived like the most time in like a "dirt hole" because I was scared of the mobs. Then fought my fear, build the first random big houses or castles, just lived in my own little peaceful world. Then later on the first multiplayer experience. Played with random people from different cities or countries, made new friends which I played like everyday after school. It's so nostalgic thinking about this simple times, when also the game was just "simple". The athmosphere, the sound, the music, the mechanics. It was the best feeling in the world for me and I still think back to this times. Everytime the Minecraft music plays, it's like it "zaps" me back to this point in my life. For me, like the best game in the world and the game I enjoyed the most playing it and will always come back too. ❤ "It's not just about the game, it's about we felt, playing it."

Can you talk about among us next

gosh how i miss playing this game in my xbox 360, in 2013, when i was 6 i used to love that tutorial map with the castle with a nether portal innit, the part i loved the most was the "farm" on the east side of it. when the sun was coming down, i was there, with the animals, bc they were like company to me i really want an xbox 360 just so i can play that minecraft version and feel what i used to

I think i found minecraft because of xbox 360, used to play it with a friend and I had my own console but i was never ambitious with my builds lol

Man, thank you really

I am 3 months and 25 days old when Minecraft offically released

thankyou for creating this masterpiece of a video

Such a great video.

Thank you for making this video. This was very nostalgic

Weird RU-vid recommended but This is Great 👍

Solid video man

you referencing your tiktok feed is pretty funny dont know why. also why isnt there enough time to talk about in the day about your first minecraft world dont say its becuase that reason its becuase most viewers wont be interested.

Minecraft is the best game ever!

I started playing minecraft on pocket edition. I was actually given a PC version in like, 2015 or something, but I was given this really shitty old XP computer that ran it at like 5fps :(((

Lovely video ❤

2:11 why do I hear French music 👺
