minecraft beta is adored by many, but why? in this video, i attempt to explain why older versions of minecraft keep players engaged, and how these relics from 2011 provide a completely different survival experience that is still fun to this day

additional notes:
the server mentioned at 1:53 is called Modern Beta SMP and can be played on 1.20 and 1.21, in addition to beta 1.7.3. from my time playing on it, it's super cool but i'm not affiliated or associated with the team in any way. learn more here: www.reddit.com/r/GoldenAgeMinecraft/comments/1gyogoq/monthly_server_thread_november/
the seed mentioned at 6:07 is called The Sky Lagoon and comes from this forum post: www.minecraftforum.net/forums/minecraft-java-edition/seeds/301318-the-sky-lagoon-beta-1-5-2-version

seed for shot at 5:54 comes from this forum post: www.minecraftforum.net/forums/minecraft-java-edition/seeds/304507-1-7-3-awesome-mountain-seed

lush mineshaft seed for shot at 2:51 comes from this reddit post: www.reddit.com/r/minecraftseeds/comments/rls0z8/found_a_giant_lushcave_with_a_mineshaft_in_it/#lightbox
here's the seed: 1596838428337616473
also i have to come clean about the fact that the waterfall in the floating island shot at 5:58 was placed by me lol, i couldn't find any (so maybe they don't actually spawn naturally? which is my bad for the misinfo if true). also, for some reason the Sky Lagoon seed doesn't spawn the waterfalls in beta 1.7.3, but they should in beta 1.5.2, which was the original version the seed was discovered on
