I miss destroying whatever I built without the cost of having to rebuild, thanks to exit without saving

Playing splitscreen Minecraft with your friends is something that can never be topped. Legacy console was the goat

Going from GTA IV, BO2 to Minecraft was magical. I miss 360 gaming.

Console edition got cancelled not because Microsoft didn't want people getting confused between the two versions on consoles, but because they knew if players had a choice, nobody would pick the microtransaction infested, poorly programmed Bedrock or "Better Together" edition.

I remember playing Pocket Edition with some guy. Then one time he came over and played PS4 edition with me all day. I haven’t seen him in like, 8 years now…

People don’t wanna admit it but Minecraft fell of because they update it once a year 😭 and this vid brought back so many memories 🥲

The legacy edition of this game nowadays is like a time capsule of the good old days. I wish more people still played it.

I miss the mini games so much, they were so well done and you could matchmake with your friends super easily

Man seeing the og graphics and tutorial world is so damn nostalgic 360 was 1600 Microsoft points first game I ever got

I’d be more willing to play bedrock edition if they’d make it feel more like the java edition/legacy console edition. The lighting system is just off, the way mobs move and act just feel… wrong, there’s so many weird bugs that they still haven’t fixed after several years… and for the love of god, can we talk about how great the ui sounds were for legacy console edition? That’s a feature I’d want to see even in java edition. This video brought back so many good memories, and man I’d just love to relive them 100 times over.

The beautiful thing about Console Edition was. That it brought back those simple Alpha/Beta feelings of Java Edition.

Something not mentioned as much as it should've been was that there were roughly 10+ free texture packs with free maps which came with it. 10+ skin packs with 5 or more free textures in each.

As an ex-console edition (ps4) player, I can say that it wasn't "months" but at least like 3 YEARS to get the shield. Yes. Shields were added with 1.14. Elytras were added a bit earlier sure but that took at least a year after the java release too And yes on ps4 our last update was 1.14, the universal bedrock edition came with 1.15 Edir: oh yeah it just came to my mind, 1.10 came earlier than 1.9 to minecraft. We had FRICKING POLAR BEARS EARLIER THAN THE END CITIES DUDE

As a Minecraft Console Edition player, I agree that this version was goated and still is. And yes, there is a small community there and it's probably not leaving anytime soon. I'm apart of it. Also, the community there calls the edition "Legacy Edition".

Really good Vid bro! I really miss the the old Minecraft console edition. I remember when it would rain outside and I'd be inside loading into new new world with friends. I think it was a combination of the simple music, sfx, and softer pastel color palate/textures that really made it special. Since it was before the aquatic, nether and cave update, it really focused the "Craft" part of Minecraft and being creative with what you had, especially when building. Now Minecraft seems to heavily lean on the "Mine" aspect with the updates. I just really missed the simplicity of the legacy version and maybe it'll comeback revamped one day! Again great vid man, 10/10 ❤

The pink screen glitch actually got fixed this year or last year in one of the minecraft snapshots. I forgot which one it was, but I remember it did happen.

this version was so good but it sucks that the bedrock edition has so many mechanics that just dont work the same as java unlike the legacy console editions they functioned exactly like java mechanics wise

Very amazing video, here are a few additions: 1. You can't forget about the Wii U edition of Minecraft released in December 2015. Alltough it was late, it's were me and many others started to play the console edition of the game. 2. Voicechat. I feel like that was simply the most amazing feature in the Console Edition and was perfect for an 8 player game. Back then nobody really used discord or skype as most people only had their console, so being able to talk to your friends ingame was just different.

Athletic Steve mentioned I’m subscribing and liking this video very epic also that tiny little ewok sackboy very happy to know I wasn’t the only who still talks about these skins

I remember playing this on my WiiU and I bought this game when it first came out in 2015 and I loved every minute of it I met a lot of good people on Miiverse and on Legacy Edition,I always wondered how there doing and such gets me thinking about the good times we had

Hey man I just watched the video and agree completely minecraft legacy has a certain spark to it that makes me love it so much I was also pleasantly surprised to see my video pop up i was not expecting it lol but I do I appreciate it thanks man! 😂

I gotta tell you man great video, along with your other videos. Can't wait to see how you go from here!

Man after watching this video I could just remember going back home after school, finishing my food and instantly hopping on my xbox360 to play Minecraft. Golden era of my childhood, I mostly played the demo until I finally got the full game. Beautiful memories (my mom gave away my console few years ago but I still have the joy I experienced)

I remember one time i was on playstation edition and i joined someone and they had a full-fledged kit pvp world and it was so cool anyways great video, maybe ill come back to the old version and see how its doing

Subscribed because you are like the first PS3 player I've seen bruh some of them don't even know it came out on PS3 I swear

What helped Console feel complete was that the elements felt properly integrated like phantom membranes which were used for more than one use. The items had intuitive crafts that people asked for. What would fix Minecraft again is a dirt update with many new crafts using a single block like how nether quartz was so influential along with redstone. Armor trims helped diamonds out making over 6 crafts per ore. Tools, armor, trims, blocks, spyglass, redstone, etc. Stripped logs helped to give a new exquisite palette of blocks for the axe. The shovel, clock, and maybe hoe are now the only tools that have too few uses.

Wow this video is interesting! When you mentioned ibxtoycat and Stampy, I thought to myself "Two of my favorite Minecraft RU-vidrs!" Because I really enjoy their videos. Even though Stampy ended his Lovely World series, I still enjoy looking back on the series. 😊

i still play and love playing legacy minecraft, especially xbox one edition as it’s equivalent to 1.12 on java. i’ve made alot of friends who post content about legacy on tiktok and i’m shocked about how much the community has grown in the past year since i’ve seen many more people playing the game!!

I still play legacy ps4 edition almost daily, it just feels so much better to play than bedrock. It is a mix of Java and bedrock edition, it’s got the better Java redstone system, but some bedrock features like movable containers and dyeable water in the cauldron with leather armor. The minecarts are also like 2x as fast as Java and bedrock editions, and the game feels more polished compared to bedrock edition, and in some cases Java edition as well. You can choose to manually save the game whenever you want, so if you die you can exit without saving (or just leave it on autosave) And lastly, it has the old 1.8 combat system, which imo is better.

Going back and playing Minecraft with my friend on his old 360 last year was awesome, I miss those old days of the game

so happy u mentioned the OG console multiplayer servers with hide n seek and hunger games. my favorite hunger games map was the one that made you feel like a toy in andy’s room

Mini-Game nostalgia hits so hard, I remember winning so much that I would end up getting kicked from the server because the host was pissed lmao

Minecraft fell off the moment Legacy Edition was trashed and Microsoft decided to force Mojang to do Mob Votes and bare minimum

This man, just put half a decade of my memories into a 15 minute video. Congratulations on that

One of the things that saved PS4 Multiplayer was communities, allowed me to meet so many people, some of which i am still friends with. it was a large part of my childhood

underrated so hard this man needs to get 10k subs

I miss the good ol' Minecraft days on the 360 💚

Yep, I remember this one. I was the lucky 1% that managed to get a PS3 AND an XBOX 360, and even though I had an absurd ammount of 360 games, I always liked to spend more time with my PS3, and one of the games I played was good ol' Minecraft Legacy edition. I still love those mash-up pack worlds, wonder if anyone's ported them to pc yet, the LBP and halloween ones were always my favorites -it felt like there was always something new to find, and to this day I still return to that version just to find new stuff. Did you know that there's an entire 2 story mansion with an expansive graveyard and plenty of special decorations around the first stop in the halloween map? Well neither did I until a few months ago, and then you have the tutorial worlds, god! I remember the 1.7 tutorial world, wonder if those are archived in any way? I'd loved to play it again, good vid, brought back some damn good memories, cheers!

showing the first tutorial world really hit me in the feels, god i miss those days so bad.

I still play legacy lol. The community is still alive here, but the last few months or more has been kind of weird. Glitches have starting to appear there, for example, holding spawn eggs crashed your game (no longer does) and the same happens when trying to use the book and quill. The latest "change" was the lighting on the item textures. It changed for some reason.

the free skin packs was where it was at.

Great video! I hope that even if legacy console edition never returns, they at least port the mini games over to Bedrock.

Bro. Playing the trial of minecraft where you were locked to only the start of the tutorial world. Getting the disc was one of the greatest birthday gifts ever

1:39 you can still play with 4 players in splitscreen on bedrock edition on consoles

I still remember the first time I ever opened up Minecraft. I proceed to dig a whole in dirt just to hide from mobs because I had no idea how to play the game. Great times

i have so many core memories from playing minecraft on the 360... finding out about the nether in a secret room of the tutorial world, that one really cool, beautiful shallow lake in my most played world that i built a house at (i think i actually still know the seed for that world...), finally getting an HD tv and an HDMI cable and saying goodbye to my old CRT, first time connecting to the internet and updating my game to have jungles and emeralds(!!!), the sandstone tutorial world, building stuff i saw on youtube while playing split screen with a friend. like a chest looking storage house.... good ole times...

I still sometimes play the PS Vita version before going to bed at night. The small worlds give it a different feel from playing on PC.

Minecraft console edition also had alot of Texture pack content. Adventure time, Pirates' of the carabinan, Nightmare before Christmas, Halo & Fallout as well as a Christmas & Halloween maps.

13:17 I did the same on the PS3 a few days ago, and there are STILL people playing minigames on there. I also tried it on the PS Vita a few weeks ago, and there were people playing there too. I love that there are still people playing on these versions.

I liked the console version because the crafting is user-friendly (from what I’ve heard) and I also liked to play with my friends on the split screen. I also love the minigames! So simple yet so fun. Great video man!

The memories bro 😭

I started playing on Ps4 in December of 2016

wtf this was such a good video ur so underrated anyways earned a sub 👍

I was never crazy about minecraft but i remember i played the xbox 360 quite a bit. They had a tutorial world where there was a castle and i loved exploring that thing. The split screen multiplayer gives me so much nostalgia too

Ayo Athletic Steave hits kinda hard!!!

staring the minecraft video with lazer dims asian rock is wild i love it

My son back with another fire video 🔥😎

Man, I remember the day Legacy got updated to Title Update 5, aka Java 1.8.1 Beta. Got home from 6th grade, booted up my 360, and was surprised at a collosal 300mb update! I was so excited, but kinda sad that I couldn't play for 2 days while it installed. I ultimately decided to start a brand new world, and was surprised at the hunger bar, creative, and all the new and scary biomes, structures, and enemies I have fond memories of every Title Update video from Toycat and Stampy, and fonder memories when I got home to play them myself. My best memories were Title Update 9, the Ender Dragon update, Title Update 14, the Trading Update, Title Update 5, the Creative and hunger update, and TU19 with all the new blocks. Some of the most fun I had on xbox was getting my friends over for a sleepover playing Release Version TU1, which was an enjoyably buggy mess. All the sleepovers we had with every title update was so hilariously fun... I miss those days...

I remember so much from older console minecraft, like when they first launched creative and it didn't work properly cause you could still die and mobs would sometimes still attack you. I remember making a wold with the seed Rainbow Road and the entire thing was just mushroom islands with no trees anywhere, making the entire survival experience impossible. I remember the first time I played with my cousin we spawned in this canyon and not knowing how to craft we just punched different blocks and tried mining through a mountain with fists only, and getting really scared when night came to where we hid in a hole and didn't even cover it up. I remember being carried by an older cousin through the game who actually knew how to get diamonds and gave me a pick and I was obsessed as hell with it cause it was so cool looking I remember thinking the feathers zombies dropped were daggers for whatever reason Good times.

the smaller worlds on 360 really helped with the "community" feeling I got from playing with my friends, no one could truly be away from someone else

Lion Maker- wait a second, got me

Goated video, goated edition. Keep up the good work man 🗿

really sick video with nice story telling

~I also had a PlayStation , felt the pain of waiting for that 2013 version to drop , my grandma brought it for me same day . love you nana 🖤

great vid, the lucki reference made me laugh 😂

i love your positive energy and insightful content!

Very nice channel your editing is funny

As someone who hosts a server on legacy ps4 edition, it's always nice to see people talk about it.

Bro i miss the secret og battle zone you can get in when you get the eyltra💀😭

The world of console edition smps was honestly really interesting imo, people would literally dedicate their console to being a host for "servers" so that they were accessible at all times. Super nostalgic video. Have been on and off with java since alpha but i do have fond memories of my stint on ps4 edition

I had some good times with friends playing this version. We’ve all moved on in different directions but to me, our gaming days are the best memories I have during my childhood

goodass video, hope your channel succeeds

I bought Minecraft on my PS3 on 3-30-2014 when I was 11yo and still have the system and game as well as all my old worlds including the very first world I made, Minecraft is the one game that I as a kid had and was able to play w ppl my age. It is an amazing game.

lazerdim playing in the back is crazy

You can easily change skins on Java. If you switch skin in the launcher and disconnect-reconnect, your skin updates and you're good to go. Might not be as easy to set up, but once your skins are in the launcher, it's just as easy if not easier

As I watch this video, I think about the good times I spent with my brother but as life goes on things change, he plays GTA, but I still love to play Java and XB1 Legacy edition. I will always have a spot for these games in my heart. Also, I am playing this version right now on my 4 year old world and I'm going to try to make it 5.

I rarely played minecraft these days outside of mc beta because of just how overwhelmed I get playing it, and no inspiration or motivation comes to me at all. But I booted up my 360 a couple of months ago, and I played for hours. I even got better at building and made some really cool stuff and kept coming up with ideas. I haven't had that much fun playing since when I used to play as a kid/teen. It goes to show that it's not just because we were young that we loved this version so much, it was just fantastic and I will choose it over all the other versions to polay every time. Now I'm just paranoid about my xbox lasting haha

Ibxtoycat is goated, I’m glad I see a fellow fan. I’m hoping for the best for that future project

I remember first playing the game in 2011 (I think it was in January if I'm not mistaken). I was at rmg101's house to celebrate a birthday, and we went to see "Tron Legacy" in theaters in 3D. Some time after, I remember playing the Xbox One version of "Minecraft" at an Xbox store in a mall. And in 2019, when I was given an Xbox One, I remember the console version was like the Java edition, yet some time later, the disc's contents for some reason migrated to Bedrock for some weird reason. But I still got my money's worth with "Minecraft". I'm even looking forward to the upcoming Warner Bros. movie next year.

I remember waking up really early before school to play Minecraft on my Xbox. It was a magical time, but then it broke and I never got to do that again

the world border was amazing in my opinion, my friends and I would play factions on the xbox 360 version and having very limited resources, and land to build made it more challenging. we recently tried to do it but the bedrock version just doesn't feel the same nor does it have an option to add a border . I miss legacy

I remember watching the classic Java channels and modded videos we all watched, but I knew i wouldn't have a PC for a long time. This made getting an Xbox One in first grade a huge deal. This was about a year after Mojang was bought out but the 4J Legacy edition would stay for a couple years or longer before bedrock. This was the best version other than old Java that I watched, and it had more stuff than 360 like infinite worlds and most of the stuff that ended up in bedrock, but with more polishing and nicer lighting.

I definitely have fond memories of playing split-screen with my siblings on my brother’s Xbox 360. It really was a charming experience. It was totally an upgrade from the usual pocket edition, which we shared on an iPod touch (and eventually phones) back in the days of nether reactor cores and redstone being a glorified light source while mining lol. Even so, I look back on those memories with a soft spot in my heart while enjoying modern Minecraft with cross-platform compatibility on my Switch

Great Video, It Was Interesting And I Liked it Thumbs Up 👍

I'm back a month later! I've always played Java thanks to the teachers at my school not catching on to what I was doing but as soon as I got my hands on a 360 copy of the game, I played the crap out of it. and over time I'd make a new Tutorial world when the updates came out and survived on them until the next update rolled around. Now that I'm on pc 99% of the time, I've got ported versions of the tutorial worlds that I play on TU49 being my most favorite out of all of them. Believe it or not; I still play on any TU World I can get my hands on and if I have more then one copy of that world, I'll make a curseforge modpack centered around the world and it's theme. I'm holding on to every bit of nostalgia I can get my hands on!! Keep Crafting Fellow Crafters!!!

I played Ps Vita edition SO much that it led to the downfall of my Ps Vita, but I enjoyed every single moment of it. I remember playing with friends on the bus every morning and evening in AD-HOC mode. I also had xbox 360 edition (I met Minecraft through the demo version) and PS3 edition. These versions just had such a charm that I can't explain and I miss them a lot. I still boot up my PS3 occasionally and boot Minecraft ps3 which hasn't updated since TU31 and I refuse to update it as well

I will play on my Wii again thx for the video

The other day on my WiiU console world I rode a boat through an end gateway from the end city to the dragon fight and on the map it showed my arrow at the entrance gateway and the dragon healthbar was gone and I couldn’t exit the boat and breaking end stone worked normal but placing anything even entities deleted the block I placed it on instantly and I was in creative so I rode the boat ,while somehow being able to crouch/sprint, into the void where it deposited me at -63 and I was flying and the boat was hovering there, not falling. I checked out the see through end pillars because that’s a thing and I decided to fall into the void. I didn’t take damage. I fell ~ 40K blocks then I found out if you drop items it just goes back to your inventory and if you replace a returning item with another it gets squashed horizontally so I decided to save and relog and the game didn’t know what to do because it flickered back and forth and I couldn’t look anymore but when I decided to throw an ender pearl because it was pretty much softlocking me at the bottom corner of the end and I stayed at -63 this time still no dmg and still thinking I’m at end city gateway via map. And the pearl brought me back to the end city gateway. Pretty cool. Also in creative you can pickblock and break a kelp or fence in a 1*1 hole at the same time to get a water source block that can be placed in the nether and needs to be updated. Once you have one put it in an item frame and pickblock until you have enough. A Very useful X-ray glitch I found is swimming into a 1*1*1 hole and block yourself on all sides with blocks like dirt or stone not glass or furnace. You can see the normal up when swimming up and also up to two faces of the cube as transparent. If you save and relog, you teleport to the surface. Also bottom of nether is transparent but hard to find. To get to the nether roof bring a boat to get up chorus fruit to get down minecarts and rails to move around and tnt and ignition to break blocks and also anything else you want and maybe also bring food and armor. Warning that it isn’t normal nether roof. Draining water from a non flowing water column using a dispenser makes the water transparent. Killing mobs can give loot like Power 2 Power2 mending bow (yes, multiple of the same) and you cannot use books on these or it will simplify itself and the only time it actually has an effect is with protection. I got a fireprot7 (max of prot ) gold chest plate from Fire prot 3&4. You can spawn in creative an enderman on a block and above it air then block then air then block then air and it doesn’t put it on the bottom one but the 2nd bottom one Sometimes banners don’t stack and nametags with the same name don’t. You can break the block beneath a grown pumpkin stem. You can make headless pistons. If you set it up right you can have flowing lava next to flowing water. In creative you can enchant any item almost 20 times. Cauldrons can dye. U can craft Notch Apples and leather armor. If you have a bunch of snow golems around a end gateway and put a pumpkin on one side of one of the sideways bedrock on the gateway after 2 snow blocks on the other side you get bedrock in survival. note: it is directional. You can push the end crystals from the dragon fight using pistons I haven’t tested to know if it’s possible to get it to the overworld. You can dupe 9-item crafts with a dispenser that is filled with a material to craft ex diamonds and power it with 3 torches burning from redstone. Fish farms work. Simple 9*10 Villager breeders work. If you haven’t opened a generated chest yet in your world you can push it with any piston and it drops its items. You can reset nether and end. Sometimes when breaking something like a chest or shulker during lag it has a chance to appear as a visual bug that is intangible but appears the same. Happened 3x to me and the first one broke somehow because I probably updated it wrong. Rip minigames soon. Impaling ench works on any mob when in water or rain. Torches levers tripwires etc. be placed behind paintings and paintings can be placed behind sugarcane. Small end/ nether and overworld in order of smallest to biggest. Best enderman farm is the 1 minute one showcased in shulkercrafts vid but put a roof over the ladder so you don’t get attacked when leaving. You want a diverse world when creating a world to get everything and you want to keep it at minimum peaceful for totems or the achievements of killing an elder guardian I don’t have access to jungle, sunflower, an extra heart of the sea, red sand, shrub, playerhead, diamond horse armor unobtainables etc. Also make bulk sorting for anything over a double chest. I have not seen a diamond zombie or chicken jockey but I have seen a baby zombie on another zombie. Hmm.. Console is the best.

i had it on xbox and ps3 later i remember people questioning it being on the ps3 my friends didn’t think it would until it got dropped i was so hyped

I remember at the time I was really obsessed on watching Minecraft content creators on RU-vid like Popularmmos, Little Lizard Gaming, and ESPECIALLY DanTDM who was my absolute favorite RU-vidr (he still is to this day), and I always wanted to play Minecraft and used to be so jealous when I saw other kids played Minecraft on their phones or tablets. After maybe a year after I got my Xbox One in 2015 i wanted to get Minecraft for Christmas, after getting it I was so hooked and felt in love with Minecraft. I still have the Minecraft Xbox Edition Disc (free textures and skin packs) and it still works pretty well, I now have the bedrock edition for my Xbox but it just doesn’t feel the same, I usually get pretty bored very quickly and the game lags a lot in the menu and in game which completely ruins the experience. If I ever get a gaming PC in the future, the one game I would like to get is Minecraft so that I can get a smooth gameplay experience

Spleef and trying to cross the world border was so much fun. And all the free world packs. That was really my childhood.

I remember playing on the mass effect map with a friend of mine, doing our own role play. Those were the times man.

W video again Sav❤️

I still have my world from the console version when it was limited, when bedrock came by my world extended to "infinite " and you can clearly see where the border was before and i still play that world to this day on my ps5 🦍

I need "athletic" steve back. That was my DAWG bro.

Bro ecko and bigB....forget old console minecraft, i remember binge watching those 2 for a year straight 7 years ago, especially their pg3d and roblox vids...Two OGs!

i have a psvita which is what i used to play the minecraft console edition on and i started playing again recently, gave me a massive nostalgia hit lol

Thinking of going back to the Xbox one version and getting all the achievements. 🐐 game

They just updated the game I think. The textures on the creative menu haves shadows for some reason.
