i've taken to playing this game more recently. there's something about fishing at a dock you put together in a few minutes, in a server with nobody else in it, at two in the morning. when it rains it just adds to that calm in game...... i welcome it. both for the sound and the loot, haha... i'm going to forever treasure the comfort this game and it's soundtrack brings.
@frog goliath yesss, I don't go fishing but being outside at night or sunset with no one else around is so peaceful and relaxing. There's a feeling that comes with it that's difficult to explain but it's s great feeling
Well said. I share the sentiment. The game is so relaxing. Although I play on the grandfathered (rather discontinued) ps3 Minecraft version. I like it with its non-upgrades. It’s simple. I like it. Happy crafting to you.
I immediately recognized those old textures every time I see them I think back to 2011 I’m at grandmas eating chocolate ice cream and playing Minecraft on a cool humid summer night the windows are open and them circulating fans are on max good memories man
I love Minecraft and what they've done with the game, but it'll never have the same feel as it used to. The old textures, the simplicity of it. Brings me back to when I first started playing, I was young and playing with my dad, and we didn't know how it worked and couldn't figure out how to turn the music off, so we just played with it on. I remember downloading FyreUK maps and exploring them, being so excited when new updates came out. Looking back on it all, I miss it. This video is the soundtrack of my childhood.
I was just talking with my mom about this the other day, she says she misses the game. I got it as a kid nearly eleven years ago at this point. I still try to play it every now and then but it just doesn’t feel the same anymore. I remember Minecraft as a game I could do anything in, I didn’t know everything but I had a good understanding of the game. Now I can barely keep a world open for more than an hour, it just can’t hold my attention like it did when I was a kid. I still always keep it installed, but it’s so hard to get into. Nowadays when I load up the game and see an in game store on the main menu, I can’t help but wonder why things had to change, I miss the game I grew up with, but I know I won’t get it back. It doesn’t even feel like it was that long ago I was building rollercoasters, making wool pixel art and recreating houses that you tubers made. I was probably around 8 years old when I first started playing. I’m 19 now. This game will always have a place in my heart, it will always be a happy memory for me, and that’s what makes it so hard to come back to
I was on this path too. Minecraft would almost make me too sad to play, because of how much I missed it all. But just a few vanilla+ mods... mods I didn’t research. Just had peaked interest in as I’d see them,plunged me right back into Minecraft again. I’ve finally put more than a weeks worth of time into my world. Playing nightly as I settle down has turned into a treat for me. Sound mods, visual mods, mob mods and biome mods, still keeping that classic Minecraft survival feeling. But I’ve made it more challenging and more... curious! I have to be more cautious in my world, and it’s awesome. New elements but still the game I knew with my buddies years ago.
The old textures and lack of smooth lighting makes me smile. It reminds me of when I first encountered this game at my childhood best friend's house. I didn't understand what was so intriguing about the game at first. This was way back in the alpha phases of the game. Every day I was at his house, we'd play this game, it got updated, and I started to really look forward to and enjoy it a lot more. I'd just sit in the chair next to him as he would play, sometimes early into the morning. Now he's married, he has a job, he's moved away, his wife doesn't like me or my fiancee, I don't see him as much anymore... but before he moved away, somehow someway, we reconnected. When the world shut down in 2020, he moved back home from college and we stayed up late, ate pizza, drank beer, and played Minecraft together again on new maps we created for the nether update. It was fun. A ray of sunshine in a dark time. Now thay ray is gone, and I miss him and miss the days of old. I miss getting off the school bus and going over to his house to play minecraft all night and having sleepovers and playing until 4 in the morning just to wake up some 4 hours later and play again. I miss you Brandon. You're my big brother and I love you man❤
This game was the best. Back when times were better and lives were simpler. Sadly, time to "grow up" Don't ever forget those late nights in the mineshaft
@@SnailEvok the Minecraft parody songs made up my taste in music as a kid and I can’t hear the original songs without singing the Minecraft ones. I remember so fondly they were among the first bits of music to induce my maladaptive daydreams and they’re always gonna bring a strong sense of nostalgia to me
my older sister used to love minecraft. she was in high school and i was only 11, i didn’t understand how the game worked at all, but i loved coming to bother her and end up sitting next to her, watching her play with my head on her shoulder, just talking for hours about anything. sometimes i’d ask her to use commands to set the weather or time differently and she would, and she taught me about endermen. moments of peace like that in the midst of a troubling childhood were one of the things that kept me going, whether i knew it or not.
I never got any good moments with my siblings to share these kinds of experiences with, I turned towards these kinds of games and media to escape them for the most part so I could feel normal, but it’s always nice to hear that others are much closer to their siblings :)
Played this game since 2012, consistently on and off. This genuinely brought a tear to my eye. Remember the days of playing on my iPad before school, pulling all-nighters on the Xbox 360, with the rain pattering on the pavement outside. Hate how sad these nostalgia trips make me. Those were good times. You can leave Minecraft, but you can never quit it.
My brother, now deceased, back when Xbox 360 first came out, taught me how to play it back in that first summer. I don’t remember how long ago it was but it was such a fond memory. I don’t like listening to these much because it feels so depressing listening and thinking back to what has been. I miss us playing this back when I was 9 or 10. Now, I’m about to graduate high school and move on with life. Minecraft played a big role in who I am because of the memories I made with it. I just feel wrong being on it or listening to the music without my older brother here to share it with me. I wish he would come back one last time. Just to play it with me, but that’s impossible. I’ll always think about him. Thank you for the person I am today Max. I love you and miss you so much. And I’m so sorry you left the earth the way you did. Save a spot for me up there one day. ❤️
Minecraft always had a special place in my heart; the ambiance, the quiet, the wide spaces, and infinite possibilities never fail to make my inner child feel safe to explore his curiosities. despite my strong feelings for it I always ended up bailing on the game after reaching certain milestones because I got bored of playing alone, I never had people to consistently play with meaning I have never defeated the ender dragon, so it's hard to describe what I felt reading the subtitles considering I've never seen it in the end credit. to most people I assume it gives them a sense of closure and new possibilities, to me however I don't know how to describe what's making me feel like I have a lump in my throat. I'm 20 years old. Recently we've started a server with my university friends, a good bunch of people I enjoy being with, they're waiting on me to start the server while I'm typing this down. I have never defeated the ender dragon before, but this time I will.
This makes me sad for some reason. I was 10 years old when I first played Minecraft. It’s hard to believe it’s been 11 years since me and my brother discovered it and now I’m in collage stressing about grades, keeping a girlfriend, and just hoping life turns out the way that works for me. I wish I could close my eyes and go back to that time one more time in a dream but, that’s what made Minecraft something I’ll always remember.
this game is such a safe place, it really did raise me when I felt as if no-one else could. Even today, as an 18 year old, it's a different type of comfort and memories. Whether those memories be me at 10 playing non-stop while watching stampy, or me at 16/17 playing for hours and hours on servers with friends I'm no longer friends with. Happy or sad memories the game, music, sound affects, design everything will bring a smile to my face.
I remember reading the poem after defeating the Ender Dragon for the first time. My friends all gathered around the TV to read the poem. It was such a unifying experience for all of us. I can't believe I had forgotten that memory until I started reading the poem again in the captions. Thank you for that
this is getting me thru finals week fr edit: i passed all my finals !! nearly got straight A’s but the only B i got was an 89.9 so we’ll see if this hardass professor rounds it up
Thank you. You made the universe a better place by creating this. And you made me a little calmer, which is something i’ve struggled with again these past few days. I hope good things happen to you.
I remember when all i cared about was Minecraft. Minecraft played such a huge role in my life and its sad knowing that Ill never be able to feel the way i first felt when i played minecraft back in 2012. Part of me is glad to be where I am today, but another part wishes that I could turn back time, playing minecraft with my best friend, having a sleep over, eating pizza on a saturday night, building and exploring together. :) I just shared the video with him and we talked about those nights. Its all so bittersweet and it was only 10 years ago... I wish everyone who reads this a pleasant day/night and im proud of you for how far you've come, If anyone else is like me and always looking for a refreshing experience, surprisingly enough, going back and playing older versions of minecraft has an unexplainable level of nostalgia, sadness, and joy, i definitely reccomend giving it a shot if youre like me and have not already. Much love everyone :)
It’s Friday afternoon, I’m standing outside of my middle school gates ready to leave for school and to go home. Tired and sweaty from my pe class as my final period, our teachers let us wait by the front gate today, for it was gonna be summer break! I could hear my footsteps getting faster as I race home, my hearing pounding out of pure excitement so ready to play Minecraft with my friends. Finally reaching the front door, throwing it open with a smile to then see my family eating pizza just as I get there, telling me it was a surprise. Now with a summer to look forward to and pizza to start it off with, I can now end my last school night, with Minecraft. 😌
thank you for this - from march 2020 until spring 2021, I used to play on a minecraft survival server with a group of friends who I'm no longer in contact with for reasons, and this takes me back to those happy times, especially when I would be on late at night finishing a build or collecting materials, or when we would be on a discord call and everyone would just go silent as they were focusing on whatever tasks they were doing and the background music took over :). I do miss playing with them, and having that outlet of the server to go on and just mindlessly play and build whenever, but this brought me back to those happy memories despite being not happy times in the world. I also appreciate the subtitles - I was confused at first but once I picked up what was going on with them, I stayed to read through all of what you had written and I loved every second of it :) thank you. edit: y’all - i know that the subtitles in this are the end credits of minecraft - it’s just been a hot minute since i had read thru the credits - especially since i used to just skip thru them when i was younger - so i didn’t remember at first lol but thank you all for reminding me - bouta go start a new solo survival world so i can see those end credits for myself again
I had found a towny server like that, the friends I made there, we never talked vocally. But we talked over chat alot. It initially started as me wanting to play survival with a friend, and it evolved into something greater. The community was small, but the people there were welcoming. Eventually my friend stopped logging in, and it was just me logging in everyday to play. After a while, I was one of the only ones left on the server, and these griefers joined the server. They had hacked owner roles, and they completely destroyed everything I had done. Not just mine, but alot more. Every build was gone. All I had left was a small shop in the corner of my plot. The most the mods could do to help after it all happened, was to replace the floor and get rid of the lava. After a while, the server reset, and I kinda stopped playing. I had them on discord, and we occasionally talk to this day. But since that moment, I've just lost my drive to play Minecraft entirely. I'm never gonna forget them, thank you Radiant Realms. :)
this brings me back to the first time i played minecraft with my brother on our playstation 3. i had no clue how to play but my older brother had already gotten a grasp at the basics. we were in creative and i remember the first house that we built, just a basic obsidian block house. he used obsidian not because it was strong (we had no clue about differences in block strength) he just used it because it looked cool. Then I remember the city we built together; the airport, the city hall, the computer store, the houses, the cobblestone street with the slab sidewalk. we had so much fun together, building our time machine, taming ocelots, enjoying some friendly pvp. i mean, pretty much everything i know about minecraft now, i learned from him. i also recall watching him and his friend play together on split screen, building their world up from nothing. but then he just stopped. i would ask him if he wanted to work on the city and he always said no, i guess he was losing interest. and i always thought “how come he doesnt want to play anymore?” like i thought that minecraft was the best game ever created and that i would always play it and enjoy it. but now im experiencing what he did, its just so boring now. i cant stay on it for more than 2 hours without being bored out of my mind. i guess the one thing thats different between him and i, is that he just stopped playing. i just dont have anyone to play with anymore. he was the only one, but then he stopped, and i guess eventually.. so did i.
Sometimes things get really hard, but I know deep down this music, atmosphere and most importantly this game will always be there. Maybe it's stored deep in my memory vault, out of sight, but it'll always be there no matter what I go through. It will always be here...
Below are some nostalgic minecraft stories I typed out for anyone to read. I had a friend I met online in 5th grade. His name is Patrick. We were extremely close for years, despite never meeting in real life and living a few states apart. We grew up together. I remember a summer we spent playing minecraft, we were probably 12 or so, on my old Mac laptop while talking to him in an xbox live party. We played all through the night, until the sun rose. I would keep the window open to keep my room cool, and I remember playing until the sky got light, then we'd go to sleep. We talked all night long about everything in the world. I'll never forget those days. We would go on random servers, anarchy servers, servers with plots of land to own and currency systems, and we would make our own places to live. The first multiplayer server on minecraft that I ever remember joining was an anarchy/hunger games server. Spawn was in the middle of a very large ocean, and all around it there were dozens, if not hundreds, of ruined structures dotting the small islands. We scavenged and found materials, before running onto the mainland. We found a massive abandoned mansion that had been griefed and had its torches stolen. I searched it for loot and fought all the mobs inside of it. We found a brick house, what felt like an eternity from spawn, and stole all of its bricks and built our own house somewhere else with the materials. It really felt like a desolate land, where many had fought and died, and their battle remains were all around us. It felt like there was this grand sense of history and conflict, and you would imagine the stories of those who built these structures, where they were now, and what had happened to them. We went on one server where you got currency from killing mobs, ran far from spawn, and found an abandoned house within a waterfall. We squatted in the house and I built it up while Pat killed mobs for money. Eventually the owner returned, but he liked what we did with it, and we all lived together. One server we went on had a sprawling city, and plots of land you had to own to build on. We got a plot of land, and I opened a farmers market/bakery. On this server, however, you couldn't own buckets due to them being a griefing hazard. (lava) If you were caught with them you would get in trouble. This led to illegal cake making. We had a chest where we would hide the buckets we used for cake making in hopes the admin wouldn't find them. Eventually we got found out, and he killed me and found the buckets in my inventory. He wasn't upset however, because we were just simple bakers. My final story is that of a simple night. We found an empty server, a ghost server, with nobody online and very few structures around spawn. We ran very far from spawn, until we found a lake. We built a small island in the middle of this lake, with a house on it. I began fishing, and every once in a while I would add a tree to the house, until it towered to the sky with trees, which I made stairs up to the top of. I just remember sitting on the edge of the dirt island we made and catching fish, trying to survive out in the wilderness of minecraft. Minecraft was filled with these unique and formative experiences, where you could lose yourself in the world, just making a simple life for yourself. Im 23 now, I have a full time job in IT and im out of school. My childhood is officially over, but I'm extremely glad memories like these were apart of it.
Update: after 7-8 years of playing and ditching/getting ditched on, i finally defeated the ender dragon with a very special person. It's a core memory now, i will always appreciate it. First thing i did when the credits started playing was play this music in the background as it was too quiet. My eyes would regularly water up as i read through the text and almost cried. Its hard to describe, it was just so good.
I study a different language at school, but I understand English sensitively..Thank you for the subtitles and for this atmosphere(vibe minecraft), friend
Thank you for the captions. Really reminds me of those late nights playing in the middle of the night with a box fan and some soda, just finishing the game at 2am and listening to Alpha play through my speakers.
As things rage on, there is still calm. In small islands here with you Small great world smiles through the screen and dreamlike memory. Now a part of me
I've played this game all my life, when I was little I'd always say "I wish I was 16 so I could drive anywhere I want" and I remember my parents always saying don't wish that because when that time comes you'll regret missing out and making memories that'll last you your entire life. Well now I'm sitting here listening to this with tears in my eyes because I'm remembering those moments so clear and just wishing that for one day I could go back and see what my worlds used to be. Just so I can see the nostalgia that Minecraft doesn't really make for me now. Anyways y'all I wish you all the best of luck in life and what it has in-store for you.
I find myself loading back into Minecraft every now and again when I start to feel overwhelmed with the pace and direction of life. It helps bring some perspective back. The music is like the lullabies my mom used to play for me as a toddler. It helps calm the mind and remind me there’s more beautiful and valuable states of mind I should be seeking.
I cannot describe how this video makes me feel. But it's wonderful. So nostalgic and emotional but full of love and joy. I have so many memories playing Minecraft over the years, I met so many other people my age playing this game. So many friends made that I am no longer in touch with. It saddens me but it doesn't take away the gratitude I feel for this game and the memories made with those friends. Thank you for this ☺️
I feel like everyone that's ever played Minecraft always earns some deeper connection on the way. Theres this surety that you can always come back to it, a world of infinite possibilities and infinite simplicity. Whether you started playing the game when it first came out or if you just started, Minecraft is coming and nostalgic. No matter what's going on, a simple new world to just live, fish, and roam in can bring more than just a little bit of happiness, it gives you a sense of peace. I think that's so special about it, especially paired with the soundtrack as well. The game had always been so unique and diverse to me, and despite my love for the old textures, the new updates have been astonishing. It's so calming to have somewhere you can go to just escape.
i started playing minecraft about 2 years ago and i am always coming back to it and it already feels nostalgic to me. I am 34 years old and i love this game
I have never read the ending poem of minecraft because I've never actually finished it. I never finish my worlds. This is the first time... My God. I actually shed a few tears.
I’ve discovered how relaxing Minecraft’s music is, and I now love sleeping, listening to it. That you soo much for putting together this masterpiece. The music and the rain are just perfect
I bought minecraft 360 edition in 2012 without ever seeing a YT video about it or anything and I'm so glad I did, discovering how the game works as you're playing it is an experience that can never be replicated, I miss it so much
This takes me back to 2012 (I was 12 at that time) when I first heard about the game from a friend. That same friend started hosting a Minecraft server on his PC and some other friends and I started playing daily on it, just having fun, building simple houses, mining together, trolling each other, ... At the same time I also started watching let's plays of Minecraft. Afterwards I was also introduced to mods by my friend who made me play the game in the first place. I still remember having to install the mods manually, without fancy "one-click" installers like we have them today, having to delete the META-INF folder and praying for the installed mods to work without some cryptic crash message that I couldn't really understand back then. I started having a lot of fun with mods like the Industrial Mod, FTB, Too Many Items or the More Explosives Plus mod but the best out of all was the Aether II mod. I was unfortunately too late for the original Aether mod but it was still the best experience ever. So many new mobs and vegetation, very cool floating islands with bumpy clouds, rideable pigs and cows that could fly and of course the magical music of the Aether mod. I still play Minecraft every now and then with another friend on a server that I host but the magic of those days is long gone. It is still a cool game but now I focus more on the technical aspect of Minecraft (building automated farms and all kinds of machines with my friend). Unfortunately all my other friends, including the one that introduced me to this amazing game have stopped playing by now and what's mostly left now are the good memories of 10 years ago and the sad feeling that those times will never come back but will only exist as an ever fading memory which will slowly distort and fade into the distance as the years go by. I am still grateful though for what the game was able to offer me and for the great fun I had with this game and still somewhat have to this day even though the experience is not the same anymore.
This video brings back so much. This video brings back the many awesome times I had with friends back in the 5th Grade when we all had Xbox 360's and played for hours and hours upon end. A time where we had nothing to worry about, a time where me and my friend group had just each other and no one worrying over getting a girlfriend, a time where we were so happy. Some friends from that time have drifted away since then, but I'm happy to still be best friends with the ones I'm still with. Now all of us are about to start our second year of college. We all still play games together, no doubt about it. But I'll never forget the fun, the laughter, the nights we stayed up so late to play. I'll never ever forget those awesome times.
this reminds me so much of when i would play minecraft almost everyday and just sit there silently without moving, thinking about the soft, music that brought so much comfort. i cant even explain the feeling. its so nostalgic, and its bitter sweet. it gives me a feeling like im floating. minecraft will forever be such a calming game to me that i can relax to. man,, this music just makes me so happy but makes me wanna cry so hard at the same time its so indescribable. i hope u all have an amazing day or night. lets also take a moment to appreciate this work of art that this person spent time on. thank you so very very much for having this feeling return to me,,i really mean it. plz keep up the amazing work
Frail and young as I was, I remember the times I was allowed to play minecraft on my tablet to be those times I felt at peace. My mom and dad were divorced. I barely saw my dad, one day in the week, every saturday, 6 hours. That's all. I got to play this game. Me and my brother would go and create mansions and other things minecrafty together. We were thriving. It was our world. In my eyes, looking back on it now, all I remember are the funny and good times. Minecraft was an escape from reality I needed during a very troublesome childhood. To this day I play the game. Though different, though new, though not the same as it used to be, and doomed to be never that what it was, though all the change I hold this game close to me. These songs are the kick-starter for my nostalgic emotions. They immediately activate when I hear the softening opening of Wet Hands, the consistent chorus of Sweden, the catchy melody of Moog City and the well known kalimba of Haggstrom. These songs resignate with a time I cannot remember. A me I cannot recall. Vague memories. Small flashbacks of worlds I used to have. I remember it all. Its all behind me. But oh, if I had the chance to go back for a day and enjoy it all again, I so so would. This game shaped my childhood. Thank you, Notch. Thank you, Jeb. Thank you, C418. Thank you, Mojang. And thank you, reader. We both loved this game. Without our support and everyone else, we wouldn't be here.
Just realized that It’s been over a decade since I started playing Minecraft as of this year jeez, I’ve played that game out and don’t really find it enjoyable anymore, but the ambience is just as relaxing as always
with this video and comments, im sure the minecraft community is the best. Sometimes when I'm alone on those nights I wish I weren't, memories come to me, good memories where I could play quietly and without worries, that was when I was younger and life wasn't hard. Now everything is different, I remember minecraft as one of the most pleasant places of my life, it helped me a lot and especially in fishing times and soundtracks, that's why, when youtube recommends me videos of the type "10 hours soundtrack minecraft" I enter to listen to the music and read the comments, because in some way it reminds me of when I was a child, and I get a feeling of nostalgia and tranquility. For that I thank the community and the game in general. Thanks for everything.
I don't play Minecraft anymore. Haven't for years aside from getting on with my friends on the school computers a few times. I used to play so much and met one of my best friends on there, built a mansion with my older brother, made a cool massive base inside of a mountain. It was the first game I got on my 360 when I was in elementary school. I graduated three days ago. I turned 18 three days ago. I ship out into the Army in one month as a 68Whiskey Combat Medic. Those few notes fill me with nostalgia unparalleled to anything else. I'm glad a mere melody can cause me to reminisce on times long past, reminds me of a time when life was easier.
This video put me to sleep so quickly! I’ve been having trouble falling asleep lately but there is nothing more soothing than childhood nostalgia.. Thank you!
There’s just something about the vibe that the first versions of minecraft gave. I myself never had the chance to play it as a kid but I always used to watch all the let’s plays, the mods, all of that stuff. Even though I haven’t ever experienced that version of minecraft, I still can feel very calm when looking at this pic. You can just tell how much and how little has been accomplished in this world. But with all the good also come the inevitable bad. For example. You can just tell that Herobrine is hiding somewhere in this world. He’s out there millions and millions of blocks out, HES COMING FOR YOU. Ight jokes aside, not only can u feel all the joy and relaxation that this player experienced playing in this world, you can also feel how they drifted away from the world. How they slowly stopped logging in and eventually there comes the death of this world. Idek wtf I’m typing out, but I’m glad we had this as a part of our lives. Well... why dont the trees have leaves.. what is th...
All of a sudden I’m so into Minecraft again. It’s like therapy for me. Listening to the wood break, the blocks being collected, placing down that wood, then having everything come together as you’re listening to the most relaxing music possible. I shouldn’t be spending so much time on it but I literally find myself on it for like 6 hours and don’t realize the time. It’s just so relaxing to me. A great way to unwind.
This peaceful audio makes me think of those quiet summer nights, where you just had some s’mores after a long day of fun. Sitting around the fire pit, leaning on each other as the quiet yet imposing squeaking of the crickets echos out through the warm, silent night. They bring peace, as the beauty of the night sky unhindered by clouds sparks true wonder in the hearts of the many who watch upon it. Thank you, for bringing peace to one troubled by a week-long sickness, plagued with nausea which melts away under the peaceful melodies of the game.
Sometimes I forget how obsessed I was with minecraft; it was a way for my young creative mind to unwind. I remember I used to like creating massive structures based off of buildings in real life. I would hit the 256 block limit and be sad that I couldn’t build any higher. I would build miniature cities with grey wool carpet as streets and various blocks for buildings. Funny all this shit is coming back to me just from this video. Oh damn - I totally forgot about adventure maps. Those things were fun asf. This game is probably one of the most creative games out there along side geometry dash. So much nostalgia… this game was my everything from 2012 to … whenever I stopped playing. Hard to believe that was ten years ago. Life feels bleak and depressing now, as I am about to turn 20 and everyone knows that your 20’s are the hardest years of your life. Slowly figuring out who you are as a person and what you want to do with your life. Realizing that everything is a massive joke, a game. Everything we know is controlled by billionaires and massive corporations that only care about money and profit over all else. Think about when Microsoft bought minecraft, the game suddenly had multiple new things you could buy. Sure, they improved on it, but the simplicity of the earlier versions are what made it so special. You had to make things work with what was at your disposal. Now, I’m finding that’s what life is about. I can’t change the world and myself over night, it’s about using the tools I already have to build myself to where I want to be. Unfortunately, humans are never satisfied despite having achieved a goal they thought would make them happy for eternity. I wish I could go back to the simple days of minecraft, where I didn’t have to worry about the endless rat race of a capitalistic lifestyle.
Nothing will ever compare to the long nights spent mining with your friends. 2012, you were so awful to me but you also gave me these quiet moments in my bed, with the window open and the sound of the Georgia crickets humming all night long. I didn't know how much I'd miss it until now.
I’m no longer in contact to the my friends that used to play Minecraft together. We’d never met in person but we were mostly happy, we’d spend countless hours on a server building mining having fun for over five years.But things happed and now I’m no longer in contact with them.And everytime I hear the music I want to cry. I love the music I don’t want to feel this way.
I remember when they first added zombies. Didn't know what they were, I thought maybe they were other players and ran up to one. I started being damaged but I didn't understand at all. Respawned, was so confused why I teleported, then did it again a few times until I finally understood. I also remember when they first added endermen. The most terrifying thing I had ever experienced. Took me a long time to understand whatat it was, and because I was staring at them that they were going ballastic on me. Minecraft got me through a bomb threat in highschool, it helped me cope with my family issues, helped me bond with other people, it was an escape, it will always have a special place in my heart!
I can't even explain all the amazing things that this game gave me,that feeling of coming home after a shit day of school, only to be taken to a new world. It was nice,calming,relaxing. That first awful house you build still feels amazing to look at somehow or even think about it. And that first village you help fortify and upgrade alone, I miss it. All the things we built. All the tools we made. The workbenches and furnaces we created. The houses we built from the ground up, and the first world we start with friends on a local server. And then, the one time we are just extremely mad or sad and it starts getting dark,and starts raining so we just embraced it and let our emotions out. Not necessarily by crying but just being where we were, thinking, looking, and embracing. I really do miss it. I wish.......I wish I could go back and feel what I felt then. Even for an hour at least. Yours truly:mma
I cant describe how addicted i was to minecraft in my childhood. So many good memories come to my mind when i remember it. Playing with my friend on outdated xbox 360 version in 2012 in the village when i used to spend my summertime. All this long nights in skype with friends spent on building whatever we wanted. I remember coming to my friend’s house on a sleepover to play together all night long. I still remember my first world on a free mobile version with no save function(there was sooo many strange buildings).Nowadays i remember these days with so much nostalgia. I guess now my childhood is completely over and im not regretting that.
When i first got minecraft it was on xbox 360 because at the time I couldn't afford it on pc, i played and played day and night with my friends on it and i remember this one time i used herobrine skin and my friend gave me permissions to fly and turn invisible so i turned invisible and kept messing with them lol. I would say 2015 i bought minecraft for pc after 4 years later, i was excited to join servers and stuff i see youtubers do but i didnt really have many friends like i did before. minecraft really helped me through tough shit and i could never say i hate the game or i dont play it no more because no matter how long i stop playing the game now in days i always go back to it and play.
Never I felt so cozy and protected on a youtube video about Minecraft, I feel I'm again in 2014 (my favorite and golden year of my life) and I love the vibes it gives out, feeling back of that year when everything was simple yet beautiful, thanks you 💟
i always loved this game, and i've bought this game a total of five times. (PE, java #1, wii u, switch, java #2) but i always felt like i could never get as much out of it as other people did. i was deeply afraid of the hostile mobs, and oddly enough, of squids (it's not even the mouths it's the rest of their textures). and because of this, i could never really DO most of the game. i was too scared to ever go mining, i couldn't go near any bodies of water, and i couldn't even play in survival and become "good" at the game. i also had no friends, so i felt so locked out of a lot of what people enjoyed for a long time. even then, i still found ways to enjoy it. creative mode was the only way i ever played the game. it was my best friend. i remember flying to jungles in java and building crude airships out of emerald blocks, and creating mega man pixel art in the mountains, and making custom superflats with layers of TNT going down for miles and just watching them explode and create these huge caverns. but most of all, i remember when i first played this game. it was in 2012 i think. i got pocket edition for my tiny little iphone 3g. this was before they implemented infinite worlds or mob spawning in creative, or even the ability to detonate TNT in creative mode. i liked to go into a world in creative mode and do anything i wanted. it was just me, in my tiny little world. i felt safe there. free to build, free to explore, free to do anything i wanted. it was like my own little personal playground where i could be alone. one of my favorite things to do was to go to a corner, dig out a hole, seal myself inside, and look at the void, viewing it less like i'm staring out into the edge of the universe, and more like i was comfortingly contained inside this world like a playpen or even a crib. these four light-blue borders were not voids to me, they were my bedroom walls. they kept me safe from all harm. i don't know why i did it, but it gave me a sense of control and safety in my life. i've always been a scaredy-cat and a worrywart. but here i could relax and nothing would ever hurt me. eventually i stopped playing pocket edition for a while, and then when i played it again after a couple years, i spawned in the middle of a deep ocean, surrounded by squids. i deleted the app after that and never played pocket edition again. it just isn't the same anymore. the updates are undoubtedly fun and beneficial to other players, but i just can't go back anymore. my playground is gone. I would later get minecraft for the wii u, and play it for years on end. it was a lot of fun, but i still could never go down into caves (afraid of spiders & cave spiders), or explore oceans (afraid of squids) or even *look* at survival mode. i still had my fun, but i felt so bitter over my irrational fears. i tried to get over them more times than i can count, but it just never worked or stuck. but time still keeps moving onwards. i keep growing, as do you. i found new friends. they revitalized my love of this game. i've recently redownloaded java. i even gave myself a fresh, new skin of my own design based off my most popular original character. i've got a good friend group now. although i dearly miss the kalimba music, the lack of smooth lighting and old textures, the emerald airship, and the psychologically safe playground, i'm willing to accept that those are in the past, but they will always be part of my memories. i hear there are (trusted) mods for java that remove squids and spiders from the game. my friends are in similar timezones and are really accomodating people. and everyone knows that even the Deep Dark is less scary when you have friends by your side. i'm excited for what the future holds. i might even play in survival.
Minecraft was one of the only games that really brought me and my siblings together… I haven’t played it with them in years, it would be nice to relive just one moment like that again
You have done a really good job with your arrangements here. I encourage you to make sheet music/midis out of this, even if there are some creative liberties taken in your version. There is a real lack of accurate minecraft sheet music on the internet.
Bro this brings back some memories. I used to visit my grandmas house and spend hours on Minecraft with my cousins. We would all sit together and eat nice warm homemade cookies. We’d explore and build for hours together. Sometimes I wish I could just go back to those times, but we all gotta grow up at some point. But for now I’m thankful to still have these memories.
Back in those younger day where I watch some popular youtuber and youtuber that just chilling build rail track, designing house and exploring was the most thrilling. For me it just enough and thankful that I get to feel the same nostalgic feeling as your guys even thought I don't play the game and the chilld hood keep on living much love for you and me
I remember playing Minecraft demo with my cousins on the iPad, we always played multiplayer and built houses together, even if our worlds didn’t get saved. I remember when we thought zombies were scary and we hid underground to stay safe from them. Man I miss those times, I wish I could go back.
this is beautiful, thanks to the youtube algorithm for giving me an opportunity to focus on studying with some good music, about to go to sleep with it too. reading those end credits made me forget about grade 11, school friends, work, family, everything. thanks to you and thank you very much to the wonderful writers and composers of these pieces, for all the beautiful, unforgettable happy memories.
yo need at least 3 mil because of these, i have not found a single good one thats soft enough for me to sleep. at first i just left my mc world on close to my skeleton farm or just looked into the distance but this, THIS has given me true peace when sleeping. THX bro i really needed it.😁😪🤤😭
I love minecraft. I have been playing since the week it came out. I still have all the minecon capes. I used to play everyday I get home from school and hop on with some friends. But nowadays are different... My passion for the game is still there, just not as lively as it was when I was younger. I have gotten to the point where I played the game and beaten the game so much it became a game that isn't fun anymore.. atleast not without friends. I used to have friends. After repeating 5th grade and middle school they grew up without me, completely forgot about my own existence. Ever since that day all my friends left me when I went into high shool, Minecraft just will never be the same as it was all those years ago and I am very sad and disappointed in myself for not trying to get those great friends I once had. It is 2022 and I haven't played Minecraft in 3 years.. The same world me and my friends used to play until 2019 was still on the my worlds list.. Everytime I would play Minecraft nowadays I would boot the game up stare at the title screen for an hour, look at the same world me and my friends used to play and then simply exit out of the game. The game isn't the same as it used to be.. it doesn't have the same spark like it did all those years ago when I first bought it. Mabye it was because I have beaten the game so many times to where it just isn't fun anymore. Mabye it's because I was clueless of everything around me while playing the game each and everything that happened to me in the game was considered "fun" to me.. Punching my first trees.. to building my first house.. to getting diamonds.. making a nether portal.. It just.. doesn't have the same spark like it used to.... Those memories of me sitting in the kitchen on my laptop my mom making breakfast at the stovetop the sound of chirping birds in the background and the cool wind that rushed through the house and the smell of bacon and eggs sitting on a plate on the counter i would play minecraft at. The memories of the good old days is what I cherish most about Minecraft. I don't know when I will return back to the game.. but I know for sure when I do.. I will make some friends to enjoy the game with whilst popping a coke. The end.. (This story is actually true and I as I am typing this comment I still haven't touched the game)
Hey! Love the video helps me sleep, I was wondering where you got the kalimba audio from or if you made it yourself. If you got it from somewhere could you tell me or link it? It’s a lot softer and calmer than what other stuff I’ve seen online so I was hoping you could point me to that. Thanks for the sleep.
This was my childhood. I have so many memorys in my mind. Its incredible. I first played it when i was 10 years old, and this year I‘m turning 18. When I listen to this wonderful memories of my childhood I remember how growing up sucks. Thank you for making my childhood a better place.
i've taken to playing this game more recently. there's something about fishing at a dock you put together in a few minutes, in a server with nobody else in it, at two in the morning. when it rains it just adds to that calm in game...... i welcome it. both for the sound and the loot, haha... i'm going to forever treasure the comfort this game and it's soundtrack brings.
We be fishing for treasure and memories ;)
@frog goliath yesss, I don't go fishing but being outside at night or sunset with no one else around is so peaceful and relaxing. There's a feeling that comes with it that's difficult to explain but it's s great feeling
Well said. I share the sentiment. The game is so relaxing. Although I play on the grandfathered (rather discontinued) ps3 Minecraft version. I like it with its non-upgrades. It’s simple. I like it. Happy crafting to you.
Whack, I can’t listen to Minecraft music past like 2am cuz it starts to scare the shit out of me and the rain is even scarier
Maybe on peaceful
Well said my friend. Minecraft is not just a game. It’s part of our souls and will live on inside us until the day we ride into heavens.🙏
I immediately recognized those old textures every time I see them I think back to 2011 I’m at grandmas eating chocolate ice cream and playing Minecraft on a cool humid summer night the windows are open and them circulating fans are on max good memories man

Exact same haha 2012 on my nans ipad playing with my sisters :)

@@emilygreen853 we all lived the same childhood in different houses my brother.
Sounds like a great upbringing. It really is about those simple moments eh?
I love Minecraft and what they've done with the game, but it'll never have the same feel as it used to. The old textures, the simplicity of it. Brings me back to when I first started playing, I was young and playing with my dad, and we didn't know how it worked and couldn't figure out how to turn the music off, so we just played with it on. I remember downloading FyreUK maps and exploring them, being so excited when new updates came out. Looking back on it all, I miss it. This video is the soundtrack of my childhood.
I wish I could come back... it's just not the same. It never will be
I was just talking with my mom about this the other day, she says she misses the game. I got it as a kid nearly eleven years ago at this point. I still try to play it every now and then but it just doesn’t feel the same anymore. I remember Minecraft as a game I could do anything in, I didn’t know everything but I had a good understanding of the game. Now I can barely keep a world open for more than an hour, it just can’t hold my attention like it did when I was a kid. I still always keep it installed, but it’s so hard to get into. Nowadays when I load up the game and see an in game store on the main menu, I can’t help but wonder why things had to change, I miss the game I grew up with, but I know I won’t get it back. It doesn’t even feel like it was that long ago I was building rollercoasters, making wool pixel art and recreating houses that you tubers made. I was probably around 8 years old when I first started playing. I’m 19 now. This game will always have a place in my heart, it will always be a happy memory for me, and that’s what makes it so hard to come back to
@@SammyAnimation-zy7cx minecraft didn’t change, you did
Nostalgia is one hell of a thing man
I was on this path too. Minecraft would almost make me too sad to play, because of how much I missed it all. But just a few vanilla+ mods... mods I didn’t research. Just had peaked interest in as I’d see them,plunged me right back into Minecraft again. I’ve finally put more than a weeks worth of time into my world. Playing nightly as I settle down has turned into a treat for me. Sound mods, visual mods, mob mods and biome mods, still keeping that classic Minecraft survival feeling. But I’ve made it more challenging and more... curious! I have to be more cautious in my world, and it’s awesome. New elements but still the game I knew with my buddies years ago.
The old textures and lack of smooth lighting makes me smile. It reminds me of when I first encountered this game at my childhood best friend's house. I didn't understand what was so intriguing about the game at first. This was way back in the alpha phases of the game. Every day I was at his house, we'd play this game, it got updated, and I started to really look forward to and enjoy it a lot more. I'd just sit in the chair next to him as he would play, sometimes early into the morning. Now he's married, he has a job, he's moved away, his wife doesn't like me or my fiancee, I don't see him as much anymore... but before he moved away, somehow someway, we reconnected. When the world shut down in 2020, he moved back home from college and we stayed up late, ate pizza, drank beer, and played Minecraft together again on new maps we created for the nether update. It was fun. A ray of sunshine in a dark time. Now thay ray is gone, and I miss him and miss the days of old. I miss getting off the school bus and going over to his house to play minecraft all night and having sleepovers and playing until 4 in the morning just to wake up some 4 hours later and play again. I miss you Brandon. You're my big brother and I love you man❤
Para que tener todo el dinero del mundo, si no lo puedes disfrutar
I know the feeling 😔.Hope your doing well man. God bless
You might actually be gay, homie. Something to mull over
Remember when you could throw splash potions a mile away in creative
This game was the best. Back when times were better and lives were simpler. Sadly, time to "grow up"
Don't ever forget those late nights in the mineshaft
@Banter Maestro2 Awesome to hear man! Thank you, I really needed this.
Don't Mine At Night... 😭😔
I’m so fucking sad now. I’m tired.
@@SnailEvok the Minecraft parody songs made up my taste in music as a kid and I can’t hear the original songs without singing the Minecraft ones. I remember so fondly they were among the first bits of music to induce my maladaptive daydreams and they’re always gonna bring a strong sense of nostalgia to me
The old textures and lack of smooth lighting is oddly nostalgic.
my older sister used to love minecraft. she was in high school and i was only 11, i didn’t understand how the game worked at all, but i loved coming to bother her and end up sitting next to her, watching her play with my head on her shoulder, just talking for hours about anything. sometimes i’d ask her to use commands to set the weather or time differently and she would, and she taught me about endermen. moments of peace like that in the midst of a troubling childhood were one of the things that kept me going, whether i knew it or not.
As an older sister I can tell you she probably cherishes those memories of her little sibling leaning on her shoulder just as much as u do 💖
Exactly the same situation here, while im not living at Home, sometimes when im here I help her when she plays minecraft.
That's so sweet
I never got any good moments with my siblings to share these kinds of experiences with, I turned towards these kinds of games and media to escape them for the most part so I could feel normal, but it’s always nice to hear that others are much closer to their siblings :)
We had the same childhood, i feel that too
Minecraft music makes me sad it gives me the sense that I’m alone and I’ll always be alone but here I am listening to Minecraft music to fall asleep.
it’s odd how some things give us a sense of sadness and comfort. i feel you
Relatable :")
Played this game since 2012, consistently on and off. This genuinely brought a tear to my eye. Remember the days of playing on my iPad before school, pulling all-nighters on the Xbox 360, with the rain pattering on the pavement outside. Hate how sad these nostalgia trips make me. Those were good times.
You can leave Minecraft, but you can never quit it.
My brother, now deceased, back when Xbox 360 first came out, taught me how to play it back in that first summer. I don’t remember how long ago it was but it was such a fond memory. I don’t like listening to these much because it feels so depressing listening and thinking back to what has been. I miss us playing this back when I was 9 or 10. Now, I’m about to graduate high school and move on with life. Minecraft played a big role in who I am because of the memories I made with it. I just feel wrong being on it or listening to the music without my older brother here to share it with me. I wish he would come back one last time. Just to play it with me, but that’s impossible. I’ll always think about him. Thank you for the person I am today Max. I love you and miss you so much. And I’m so sorry you left the earth the way you did. Save a spot for me up there one day. ❤️
Minecraft always had a special place in my heart; the ambiance, the quiet, the wide spaces, and infinite possibilities never fail to make my inner child feel safe to explore his curiosities. despite my strong feelings for it I always ended up bailing on the game after reaching certain milestones because I got bored of playing alone, I never had people to consistently play with meaning I have never defeated the ender dragon, so it's hard to describe what I felt reading the subtitles considering I've never seen it in the end credit. to most people I assume it gives them a sense of closure and new possibilities, to me however I don't know how to describe what's making me feel like I have a lump in my throat. I'm 20 years old.
Recently we've started a server with my university friends, a good bunch of people I enjoy being with, they're waiting on me to start the server while I'm typing this down. I have never defeated the ender dragon before, but this time I will.
I feel less alone knowing now, im not thé only one who didnt finish thé game. U didnt give up, i wont either
@@polarbear2154 gotta show that dragon who's boss at some point in our lives 💪
Lmao
@@krisbailey8537 what's so funny kris
Wish you a good journey to the end, brotha!
This makes me sad for some reason. I was 10 years old when I first played Minecraft. It’s hard to believe it’s been 11 years since me and my brother discovered it and now I’m in collage stressing about grades, keeping a girlfriend, and just hoping life turns out the way that works for me. I wish I could close my eyes and go back to that time one more time in a dream but, that’s what made Minecraft something I’ll always remember.
this game is such a safe place, it really did raise me when I felt as if no-one else could. Even today, as an 18 year old, it's a different type of comfort and memories. Whether those memories be me at 10 playing non-stop while watching stampy, or me at 16/17 playing for hours and hours on servers with friends I'm no longer friends with. Happy or sad memories the game, music, sound affects, design everything will bring a smile to my face.
I remember reading the poem after defeating the Ender Dragon for the first time. My friends all gathered around the TV to read the poem. It was such a unifying experience for all of us. I can't believe I had forgotten that memory until I started reading the poem again in the captions. Thank you for that
God I miss my childhood.. simpler times staying up all night playing Minecraft. Nothing more I regret than saying “I wish I was an adult.”
this is getting me thru finals week fr
edit: i passed all my finals !! nearly got straight A’s but the only B i got was an 89.9 so we’ll see if this hardass professor rounds it up
Congratulations!!
Did he round it up?
good job homie !
Nice! Hope they round it up! My finals are next week😭
Thank you. You made the universe a better place by creating this. And you made me a little calmer, which is something i’ve struggled with again these past few days. I hope good things happen to you.
Thanks man wish you the same
I remember when all i cared about was Minecraft. Minecraft played such a huge role in my life and its sad knowing that Ill never be able to feel the way i first felt when i played minecraft back in 2012.
Part of me is glad to be where I am today, but another part wishes that I could turn back time, playing minecraft with my best friend, having a sleep over, eating pizza on a saturday night, building and exploring together. :) I just shared the video with him and we talked about those nights. Its all so bittersweet and it was only 10 years ago...
I wish everyone who reads this a pleasant day/night and im proud of you for how far you've come, If anyone else is like me and always looking for a refreshing experience, surprisingly enough, going back and playing older versions of minecraft has an unexplainable level of nostalgia, sadness, and joy, i definitely reccomend giving it a shot if youre like me and have not already. Much love everyone :)
It’s Friday afternoon, I’m standing outside of my middle school gates ready to leave for school and to go home. Tired and sweaty from my pe class as my final period, our teachers let us wait by the front gate today, for it was gonna be summer break! I could hear my footsteps getting faster as I race home, my hearing pounding out of pure excitement so ready to play Minecraft with my friends. Finally reaching the front door, throwing it open with a smile to then see my family eating pizza just as I get there, telling me it was a surprise. Now with a summer to look forward to and pizza to start it off with, I can now end my last school night, with Minecraft. 😌
😞❤️🩹 oof… nostalgia.
This physically hurt me
Corn ball
thank you for this - from march 2020 until spring 2021, I used to play on a minecraft survival server with a group of friends who I'm no longer in contact with for reasons, and this takes me back to those happy times, especially when I would be on late at night finishing a build or collecting materials, or when we would be on a discord call and everyone would just go silent as they were focusing on whatever tasks they were doing and the background music took over :). I do miss playing with them, and having that outlet of the server to go on and just mindlessly play and build whenever, but this brought me back to those happy memories despite being not happy times in the world. I also appreciate the subtitles - I was confused at first but once I picked up what was going on with them, I stayed to read through all of what you had written and I loved every second of it :) thank you.
edit: y’all - i know that the subtitles in this are the end credits of minecraft - it’s just been a hot minute since i had read thru the credits - especially since i used to just skip thru them when i was younger - so i didn’t remember at first lol but thank you all for reminding me - bouta go start a new solo survival world so i can see those end credits for myself again
this is so sweet, I hope you will find some new minecraft buddys:(!
the subtitles are actually the minecraft end credits btw
I had found a towny server like that, the friends I made there, we never talked vocally. But we talked over chat alot. It initially started as me wanting to play survival with a friend, and it evolved into something greater. The community was small, but the people there were welcoming. Eventually my friend stopped logging in, and it was just me logging in everyday to play. After a while, I was one of the only ones left on the server, and these griefers joined the server. They had hacked owner roles, and they completely destroyed everything I had done. Not just mine, but alot more. Every build was gone. All I had left was a small shop in the corner of my plot. The most the mods could do to help after it all happened, was to replace the floor and get rid of the lava. After a while, the server reset, and I kinda stopped playing. I had them on discord, and we occasionally talk to this day. But since that moment, I've just lost my drive to play Minecraft entirely. I'm never gonna forget them, thank you Radiant Realms. :)
I play on a private whitelist vanilla server that I’d be more than happy to share the discord to apply it’s a really chill vibe :)
@@TheNye_ i've been looking for a server like that with a small community, please link the dc so i can check it out
the subtitles is the scrolling text you'd get after leaving the end. just to let you know. this soundtrack calms me down so much.
This brings me so much comfort. I cannot even explain it. It feels nostalgic. Sad sometimes, yet peaceful.
this brings me back to the first time i played minecraft with my brother on our playstation 3. i had no clue how to play but my older brother had already gotten a grasp at the basics. we were in creative and i remember the first house that we built, just a basic obsidian block house. he used obsidian not because it was strong (we had no clue about differences in block strength) he just used it because it looked cool. Then I remember the city we built together; the airport, the city hall, the computer store, the houses, the cobblestone street with the slab sidewalk. we had so much fun together, building our time machine, taming ocelots, enjoying some friendly pvp. i mean, pretty much everything i know about minecraft now, i learned from him. i also recall watching him and his friend play together on split screen, building their world up from nothing. but then he just stopped. i would ask him if he wanted to work on the city and he always said no, i guess he was losing interest. and i always thought “how come he doesnt want to play anymore?” like i thought that minecraft was the best game ever created and that i would always play it and enjoy it. but now im experiencing what he did, its just so boring now. i cant stay on it for more than 2 hours without being bored out of my mind. i guess the one thing thats different between him and i, is that he just stopped playing. i just dont have anyone to play with anymore. he was the only one, but then he stopped, and i guess eventually.. so did i.
It feels so nostalgic
Sometimes things get really hard, but I know deep down this music, atmosphere and most importantly this game will always be there. Maybe it's stored deep in my memory vault, out of sight, but it'll always be there no matter what I go through. It will always be here...
I'm getting cold shivers from how comfy this makes me feel. I feel safe here. Thank you.
Below are some nostalgic minecraft stories I typed out for anyone to read.
I had a friend I met online in 5th grade. His name is Patrick.
We were extremely close for years, despite never meeting in real life and living a few states apart.
We grew up together.
I remember a summer we spent playing minecraft, we were probably 12 or so, on my old Mac laptop while talking to him in an xbox live party.
We played all through the night, until the sun rose. I would keep the window open to keep my room cool, and I remember playing until the sky got light, then we'd go to sleep. We talked all night long about everything in the world.
I'll never forget those days.
We would go on random servers, anarchy servers, servers with plots of land to own and currency systems, and we would make our own places to live.
The first multiplayer server on minecraft that I ever remember joining was an anarchy/hunger games server.
Spawn was in the middle of a very large ocean, and all around it there were dozens, if not hundreds, of ruined structures dotting the small islands.
We scavenged and found materials, before running onto the mainland.
We found a massive abandoned mansion that had been griefed and had its torches stolen. I searched it for loot and fought all the mobs inside of it.
We found a brick house, what felt like an eternity from spawn, and stole all of its bricks and built our own house somewhere else with the materials.
It really felt like a desolate land, where many had fought and died, and their battle remains were all around us.
It felt like there was this grand sense of history and conflict, and you would imagine the stories of those who built these structures, where they were now, and what had happened to them.
We went on one server where you got currency from killing mobs, ran far from spawn, and found an abandoned house within a waterfall.
We squatted in the house and I built it up while Pat killed mobs for money.
Eventually the owner returned, but he liked what we did with it, and we all lived together.
One server we went on had a sprawling city, and plots of land you had to own to build on.
We got a plot of land, and I opened a farmers market/bakery.
On this server, however, you couldn't own buckets due to them being a griefing hazard. (lava)
If you were caught with them you would get in trouble.
This led to illegal cake making.
We had a chest where we would hide the buckets we used for cake making in hopes the admin wouldn't find them.
Eventually we got found out, and he killed me and found the buckets in my inventory.
He wasn't upset however, because we were just simple bakers.
My final story is that of a simple night.
We found an empty server, a ghost server, with nobody online and very few structures around spawn.
We ran very far from spawn, until we found a lake.
We built a small island in the middle of this lake, with a house on it.
I began fishing, and every once in a while I would add a tree to the house, until it towered to the sky with trees, which I made stairs up to the top of.
I just remember sitting on the edge of the dirt island we made and catching fish, trying to survive out in the wilderness of minecraft.
Minecraft was filled with these unique and formative experiences, where you could lose yourself in the world, just making a simple life for yourself.
Im 23 now, I have a full time job in IT and im out of school. My childhood is officially over, but I'm extremely glad memories like these were apart of it.
Update: after 7-8 years of playing and ditching/getting ditched on, i finally defeated the ender dragon with a very special person. It's a core memory now, i will always appreciate it.
First thing i did when the credits started playing was play this music in the background as it was too quiet. My eyes would regularly water up as i read through the text and almost cried. Its hard to describe, it was just so good.
Ambient noises like this really should be in the base game
That would have been a cool idea for the wild update
I study a different language at school, but I understand English sensitively..Thank you for the subtitles and for this atmosphere(vibe minecraft), friend
Honestly if no one had mentioned the subtitles/captions I wouldn't have turned them on. Awesome.
Thank you for the captions. Really reminds me of those late nights playing in the middle of the night with a box fan and some soda, just finishing the game at 2am and listening to Alpha play through my speakers.
I love the subtitles so much it really helped me. Thank you for this, I needed
it :')
As things rage on, there is still calm.
In small islands here with you
Small great world smiles through the screen and dreamlike memory.
Now a part of me
this deserves much more attention.
I've played this game all my life, when I was little I'd always say "I wish I was 16 so I could drive anywhere I want" and I remember my parents always saying don't wish that because when that time comes you'll regret missing out and making memories that'll last you your entire life. Well now I'm sitting here listening to this with tears in my eyes because I'm remembering those moments so clear and just wishing that for one day I could go back and see what my worlds used to be. Just so I can see the nostalgia that Minecraft doesn't really make for me now. Anyways y'all I wish you all the best of luck in life and what it has in-store for you.
The video captions being the end game credits is a nice touch
I find myself loading back into Minecraft every now and again when I start to feel overwhelmed with the pace and direction of life. It helps bring some perspective back. The music is like the lullabies my mom used to play for me as a toddler. It helps calm the mind and remind me there’s more beautiful and valuable states of mind I should be seeking.
I cannot describe how this video makes me feel. But it's wonderful. So nostalgic and emotional but full of love and joy. I have so many memories playing Minecraft over the years, I met so many other people my age playing this game. So many friends made that I am no longer in touch with. It saddens me but it doesn't take away the gratitude I feel for this game and the memories made with those friends.
Thank you for this ☺️
I feel like everyone that's ever played Minecraft always earns some deeper connection on the way. Theres this surety that you can always come back to it, a world of infinite possibilities and infinite simplicity. Whether you started playing the game when it first came out or if you just started, Minecraft is coming and nostalgic. No matter what's going on, a simple new world to just live, fish, and roam in can bring more than just a little bit of happiness, it gives you a sense of peace. I think that's so special about it, especially paired with the soundtrack as well. The game had always been so unique and diverse to me, and despite my love for the old textures, the new updates have been astonishing. It's so calming to have somewhere you can go to just escape.
i started playing minecraft about 2 years ago and i am always coming back to it and it already feels nostalgic to me. I am 34 years old and i love this game
I have never read the ending poem of minecraft because I've never actually finished it. I never finish my worlds. This is the first time... My God. I actually shed a few tears.
I’ve discovered how relaxing Minecraft’s music is, and I now love sleeping, listening to it. That you soo much for putting together this masterpiece. The music and the rain are just perfect
I bought minecraft 360 edition in 2012 without ever seeing a YT video about it or anything and I'm so glad I did, discovering how the game works as you're playing it is an experience that can never be replicated, I miss it so much
This takes me back to 2012 (I was 12 at that time) when I first heard about the game from a friend. That same friend started hosting a Minecraft server on his PC and some other friends and I started playing daily on it, just having fun, building simple houses, mining together, trolling each other, ... At the same time I also started watching let's plays of Minecraft.
Afterwards I was also introduced to mods by my friend who made me play the game in the first place. I still remember having to install the mods manually, without fancy "one-click" installers like we have them today, having to delete the META-INF folder and praying for the installed mods to work without some cryptic crash message that I couldn't really understand back then.
I started having a lot of fun with mods like the Industrial Mod, FTB, Too Many Items or the More Explosives Plus mod but the best out of all was the Aether II mod. I was unfortunately too late for the original Aether mod but it was still the best experience ever. So many new mobs and vegetation, very cool floating islands with bumpy clouds, rideable pigs and cows that could fly and of course the magical music of the Aether mod.
I still play Minecraft every now and then with another friend on a server that I host but the magic of those days is long gone. It is still a cool game but now I focus more on the technical aspect of Minecraft (building automated farms and all kinds of machines with my friend). Unfortunately all my other friends, including the one that introduced me to this amazing game have stopped playing by now and what's mostly left now are the good memories of 10 years ago and the sad feeling that those times will never come back but will only exist as an ever fading memory which will slowly distort and fade into the distance as the years go by.
I am still grateful though for what the game was able to offer me and for the great fun I had with this game and still somewhat have to this day even though the experience is not the same anymore.
the way the captions are the mc ending this is so good
This video brings back so much. This video brings back the many awesome times I had with friends back in the 5th Grade when we all had Xbox 360's and played for hours and hours upon end. A time where we had nothing to worry about, a time where me and my friend group had just each other and no one worrying over getting a girlfriend, a time where we were so happy. Some friends from that time have drifted away since then, but I'm happy to still be best friends with the ones I'm still with. Now all of us are about to start our second year of college. We all still play games together, no doubt about it. But I'll never forget the fun, the laughter, the nights we stayed up so late to play. I'll never ever forget those awesome times.
😊😊😊
this reminds me so much of when i would play minecraft almost everyday and just sit there silently without moving, thinking about the soft, music that brought so much comfort. i cant even explain the feeling. its so nostalgic, and its bitter sweet. it gives me a feeling like im floating. minecraft will forever be such a calming game to me that i can relax to. man,, this music just makes me so happy but makes me wanna cry so hard at the same time its so indescribable.
i hope u all have an amazing day or night. lets also take a moment to appreciate this work of art that this person spent time on. thank you so very very much for having this feeling return to me,,i really mean it. plz keep up the amazing work
Frail and young as I was, I remember the times I was allowed to play minecraft on my tablet to be those times I felt at peace. My mom and dad were divorced. I barely saw my dad, one day in the week, every saturday, 6 hours. That's all. I got to play this game. Me and my brother would go and create mansions and other things minecrafty together. We were thriving. It was our world. In my eyes, looking back on it now, all I remember are the funny and good times. Minecraft was an escape from reality I needed during a very troublesome childhood. To this day I play the game. Though different, though new, though not the same as it used to be, and doomed to be never that what it was, though all the change I hold this game close to me. These songs are the kick-starter for my nostalgic emotions. They immediately activate when I hear the softening opening of Wet Hands, the consistent chorus of Sweden, the catchy melody of Moog City and the well known kalimba of Haggstrom. These songs resignate with a time I cannot remember. A me I cannot recall. Vague memories. Small flashbacks of worlds I used to have. I remember it all. Its all behind me. But oh, if I had the chance to go back for a day and enjoy it all again, I so so would. This game shaped my childhood. Thank you, Notch. Thank you, Jeb. Thank you, C418. Thank you, Mojang. And thank you, reader. We both loved this game. Without our support and everyone else, we wouldn't be here.
Just realized that It’s been over a decade since I started playing Minecraft as of this year jeez, I’ve played that game out and don’t really find it enjoyable anymore, but the ambience is just as relaxing as always
with this video and comments, im sure the minecraft community is the best.
Sometimes when I'm alone on those nights I wish I weren't, memories come to me, good memories where I could play quietly and without worries, that was when I was younger and life wasn't hard.
Now everything is different, I remember minecraft as one of the most pleasant places of my life, it helped me a lot and especially in fishing times and soundtracks, that's why, when youtube recommends me videos of the type "10 hours soundtrack minecraft" I enter to listen to the music and read the comments, because in some way it reminds me of when I was a child, and I get a feeling of nostalgia and tranquility.
For that I thank the community and the game in general.
Thanks for everything.
The picture looks like one of me and my dad’s very first spots that we built a base in the hill. So much memories. 🥺
Thank you, I cried myself to sleep.
I don't play Minecraft anymore. Haven't for years aside from getting on with my friends on the school computers a few times. I used to play so much and met one of my best friends on there, built a mansion with my older brother, made a cool massive base inside of a mountain. It was the first game I got on my 360 when I was in elementary school. I graduated three days ago. I turned 18 three days ago. I ship out into the Army in one month as a 68Whiskey Combat Medic. Those few notes fill me with nostalgia unparalleled to anything else. I'm glad a mere melody can cause me to reminisce on times long past, reminds me of a time when life was easier.
This video put me to sleep so quickly! I’ve been having trouble falling asleep lately but there is nothing more soothing than childhood nostalgia.. Thank you!
There’s just something about the vibe that the first versions of minecraft gave. I myself never had the chance to play it as a kid but I always used to watch all the let’s plays, the mods, all of that stuff. Even though I haven’t ever experienced that version of minecraft, I still can feel very calm when looking at this pic.
You can just tell how much and how little has been accomplished in this world. But with all the good also come the inevitable bad. For example. You can just tell that Herobrine is hiding somewhere in this world. He’s out there millions and millions of blocks out, HES COMING FOR YOU. Ight jokes aside, not only can u feel all the joy and relaxation that this player experienced playing in this world, you can also feel how they drifted away from the world. How they slowly stopped logging in and eventually there comes the death of this world.
Idek wtf I’m typing out, but I’m glad we had this as a part of our lives. Well... why dont the trees have leaves.. what is th...
Thanks for using the right version of the game for this
All of a sudden I’m so into Minecraft again. It’s like therapy for me. Listening to the wood break, the blocks being collected, placing down that wood, then having everything come together as you’re listening to the most relaxing music possible. I shouldn’t be spending so much time on it but I literally find myself on it for like 6 hours and don’t realize the time. It’s just so relaxing to me. A great way to unwind.
i love this video! one of the best relaxing songs videos on youtube for sure. thank you so much :D
This peaceful audio makes me think of those quiet summer nights, where you just had some s’mores after a long day of fun. Sitting around the fire pit, leaning on each other as the quiet yet imposing squeaking of the crickets echos out through the warm, silent night. They bring peace, as the beauty of the night sky unhindered by clouds sparks true wonder in the hearts of the many who watch upon it. Thank you, for bringing peace to one troubled by a week-long sickness, plagued with nausea which melts away under the peaceful melodies of the game.
Sometimes I forget how obsessed I was with minecraft; it was a way for my young creative mind to unwind. I remember I used to like creating massive structures based off of buildings in real life. I would hit the 256 block limit and be sad that I couldn’t build any higher. I would build miniature cities with grey wool carpet as streets and various blocks for buildings. Funny all this shit is coming back to me just from this video. Oh damn - I totally forgot about adventure maps. Those things were fun asf. This game is probably one of the most creative games out there along side geometry dash. So much nostalgia… this game was my everything from 2012 to … whenever I stopped playing. Hard to believe that was ten years ago. Life feels bleak and depressing now, as I am about to turn 20 and everyone knows that your 20’s are the hardest years of your life. Slowly figuring out who you are as a person and what you want to do with your life. Realizing that everything is a massive joke, a game. Everything we know is controlled by billionaires and massive corporations that only care about money and profit over all else. Think about when Microsoft bought minecraft, the game suddenly had multiple new things you could buy. Sure, they improved on it, but the simplicity of the earlier versions are what made it so special. You had to make things work with what was at your disposal. Now, I’m finding that’s what life is about. I can’t change the world and myself over night, it’s about using the tools I already have to build myself to where I want to be. Unfortunately, humans are never satisfied despite having achieved a goal they thought would make them happy for eternity. I wish I could go back to the simple days of minecraft, where I didn’t have to worry about the endless rat race of a capitalistic lifestyle.
Nothing will ever compare to the long nights spent mining with your friends. 2012, you were so awful to me but you also gave me these quiet moments in my bed, with the window open and the sound of the Georgia crickets humming all night long. I didn't know how much I'd miss it until now.
I’m no longer in contact to the my friends that used to play Minecraft together. We’d never met in person but we were mostly happy, we’d spend countless hours on a server building mining having fun for over five years.But things happed and now I’m no longer in contact with them.And everytime I hear the music I want to cry. I love the music I don’t want to feel this way.
I miss when I could watch this for 10 hours and fall asleep to it. Now there’s just an ad every 15 minutes :( RIP!
I uploaded an updated version with no ads and new covers!
The subtitles being the ending credits are a wonderful touch. Time to play again...
I remember when they first added zombies. Didn't know what they were, I thought maybe they were other players and ran up to one. I started being damaged but I didn't understand at all. Respawned, was so confused why I teleported, then did it again a few times until I finally understood.
I also remember when they first added endermen. The most terrifying thing I had ever experienced. Took me a long time to understand whatat it was, and because I was staring at them that they were going ballastic on me.
Minecraft got me through a bomb threat in highschool, it helped me cope with my family issues, helped me bond with other people, it was an escape, it will always have a special place in my heart!
I can't even explain all the amazing things that this game gave me,that feeling of coming home after a shit day of school, only to be taken to a new world. It was nice,calming,relaxing.
That first awful house you build still feels amazing to look at somehow or even think about it. And that first village you help fortify and upgrade alone, I miss it. All the things we built. All the tools we made. The workbenches and furnaces we created. The houses we built from the ground up, and the first world we start with friends on a local server. And then, the one time we are just extremely mad or sad and it starts getting dark,and starts raining so we just embraced it and let our emotions out. Not necessarily by crying but just being where we were, thinking, looking, and embracing. I really do miss it. I wish.......I wish I could go back and feel what I felt then. Even for an hour at least. Yours truly:mma
Thank you for moving them here. You are very kind!
I cant describe how addicted i was to minecraft in my childhood. So many good memories come to my mind when i remember it. Playing with my friend on outdated xbox 360 version in 2012 in the village when i used to spend my summertime. All this long nights in skype with friends spent on building whatever we wanted. I remember coming to my friend’s house on a sleepover to play together all night long. I still remember my first world on a free mobile version with no save function(there was sooo many strange buildings).Nowadays i remember these days with so much nostalgia. I guess now my childhood is completely over and im not regretting that.
Gotta love the little styling to make it look like he's running a beta version. You can tell it's not by the wheat
I've been loving listening to this while coding Minecraft mods :) perfect music to listen to.
When i first got minecraft it was on xbox 360 because at the time I couldn't afford it on pc, i played and played day and night with my friends on it and i remember this one time i used herobrine skin and my friend gave me permissions to fly and turn invisible so i turned invisible and kept messing with them lol. I would say 2015 i bought minecraft for pc after 4 years later, i was excited to join servers and stuff i see youtubers do but i didnt really have many friends like i did before. minecraft really helped me through tough shit and i could never say i hate the game or i dont play it no more because no matter how long i stop playing the game now in days i always go back to it and play.
That was the most peaceful soundtrack to put me to sleep
Never I felt so cozy and protected on a youtube video about Minecraft, I feel I'm again in 2014 (my favorite and golden year of my life) and I love the vibes it gives out, feeling back of that year when everything was simple yet beautiful, thanks you 💟
Can we just appreciate the story that the subtitles tells us? Beautiful.
I’m about to turn 18 in a week. Minecraft was my childhood, and it’ll always be a part of me. Glad to have experienced this masterpiece of a game :)
Anyone else try to play in the old school textures to try and get that feeling back?
Man I really needed this video right now. Crazy how things get recommended like that.
i always loved this game, and i've bought this game a total of five times. (PE, java #1, wii u, switch, java #2) but i always felt like i could never get as much out of it as other people did. i was deeply afraid of the hostile mobs, and oddly enough, of squids (it's not even the mouths it's the rest of their textures). and because of this, i could never really DO most of the game. i was too scared to ever go mining, i couldn't go near any bodies of water, and i couldn't even play in survival and become "good" at the game. i also had no friends, so i felt so locked out of a lot of what people enjoyed for a long time.
even then, i still found ways to enjoy it. creative mode was the only way i ever played the game. it was my best friend. i remember flying to jungles in java and building crude airships out of emerald blocks, and creating mega man pixel art in the mountains, and making custom superflats with layers of TNT going down for miles and just watching them explode and create these huge caverns.
but most of all, i remember when i first played this game. it was in 2012 i think. i got pocket edition for my tiny little iphone 3g. this was before they implemented infinite worlds or mob spawning in creative, or even the ability to detonate TNT in creative mode. i liked to go into a world in creative mode and do anything i wanted. it was just me, in my tiny little world. i felt safe there. free to build, free to explore, free to do anything i wanted. it was like my own little personal playground where i could be alone.
one of my favorite things to do was to go to a corner, dig out a hole, seal myself inside, and look at the void, viewing it less like i'm staring out into the edge of the universe, and more like i was comfortingly contained inside this world like a playpen or even a crib. these four light-blue borders were not voids to me, they were my bedroom walls. they kept me safe from all harm. i don't know why i did it, but it gave me a sense of control and safety in my life. i've always been a scaredy-cat and a worrywart. but here i could relax and nothing would ever hurt me.
eventually i stopped playing pocket edition for a while, and then when i played it again after a couple years, i spawned in the middle of a deep ocean, surrounded by squids. i deleted the app after that and never played pocket edition again. it just isn't the same anymore. the updates are undoubtedly fun and beneficial to other players, but i just can't go back anymore. my playground is gone.
I would later get minecraft for the wii u, and play it for years on end. it was a lot of fun, but i still could never go down into caves (afraid of spiders & cave spiders), or explore oceans (afraid of squids) or even *look* at survival mode. i still had my fun, but i felt so bitter over my irrational fears. i tried to get over them more times than i can count, but it just never worked or stuck.
but time still keeps moving onwards. i keep growing, as do you. i found new friends. they revitalized my love of this game.
i've recently redownloaded java. i even gave myself a fresh, new skin of my own design based off my most popular original character. i've got a good friend group now.
although i dearly miss the kalimba music, the lack of smooth lighting and old textures, the emerald airship, and the psychologically safe playground, i'm willing to accept that those are in the past, but they will always be part of my memories.
i hear there are (trusted) mods for java that remove squids and spiders from the game. my friends are in similar timezones and are really accomodating people. and everyone knows that even the Deep Dark is less scary when you have friends by your side.
i'm excited for what the future holds.
i might even play in survival.
Minecraft was one of the only games that really brought me and my siblings together… I haven’t played it with them in years, it would be nice to relive just one moment like that again
You have done a really good job with your arrangements here. I encourage you to make sheet music/midis out of this, even if there are some creative liberties taken in your version. There is a real lack of accurate minecraft sheet music on the internet.
Bro this brings back some memories. I used to visit my grandmas house and spend hours on Minecraft with my cousins. We would all sit together and eat nice warm homemade cookies. We’d explore and build for hours together. Sometimes I wish I could just go back to those times, but we all gotta grow up at some point. But for now I’m thankful to still have these memories.
The subtitles are incredible whitlst stoned. Great meditation session.
love the added detail by putting in the end conversation in the subtitles
The old texture has a place in my heart forever ❤️
Back in those younger day where I watch some popular youtuber and youtuber that just chilling build rail track, designing house and exploring was the most thrilling. For me it just enough and thankful that I get to feel the same nostalgic feeling as your guys even thought I don't play the game and the chilld hood keep on living much love for you and me
The end texts were a great addition to the subtitles. I like this video.
I remember playing Minecraft demo with my cousins on the iPad, we always played multiplayer and built houses together, even if our worlds didn’t get saved. I remember when we thought zombies were scary and we hid underground to stay safe from them. Man I miss those times, I wish I could go back.
yoooooooooooooo that subtitles are crazy men,best youtube video ever
The text under the video is beautiful... thank you truly, you made me feel better
I had not seen the captions, I love that was added. Those lines are beautiful for the game.
this is beautiful, thanks to the youtube algorithm for giving me an opportunity to focus on studying with some good music, about to go to sleep with it too. reading those end credits made me forget about grade 11, school friends, work, family, everything. thanks to you and thank you very much to the wonderful writers and composers of these pieces, for all the beautiful, unforgettable happy memories.
I've recently been able to play the newest update with RTX on... But something about this makes me miss older, classic minecraft
yo need at least 3 mil because of these, i have not found a single good one thats soft enough for me to sleep. at first i just left my mc world on close to my skeleton farm or just looked into the distance but this, THIS has given me true peace when sleeping. THX bro i really needed it.😁😪🤤😭
you're too underrated >.<
you deserve more
I love minecraft. I have been playing since the week it came out. I still have all the minecon capes. I used to play everyday I get home from school and hop on with some friends. But nowadays are different... My passion for the game is still there, just not as lively as it was when I was younger. I have gotten to the point where I played the game and beaten the game so much it became a game that isn't fun anymore.. atleast not without friends. I used to have friends. After repeating 5th grade and middle school they grew up without me, completely forgot about my own existence. Ever since that day all my friends left me when I went into high shool, Minecraft just will never be the same as it was all those years ago and I am very sad and disappointed in myself for not trying to get those great friends I once had. It is 2022 and I haven't played Minecraft in 3 years.. The same world me and my friends used to play until 2019 was still on the my worlds list.. Everytime I would play Minecraft nowadays I would boot the game up stare at the title screen for an hour, look at the same world me and my friends used to play and then simply exit out of the game. The game isn't the same as it used to be.. it doesn't have the same spark like it did all those years ago when I first bought it. Mabye it was because I have beaten the game so many times to where it just isn't fun anymore. Mabye it's because I was clueless of everything around me while playing the game each and everything that happened to me in the game was considered "fun" to me.. Punching my first trees.. to building my first house.. to getting diamonds.. making a nether portal.. It just.. doesn't have the same spark like it used to.... Those memories of me sitting in the kitchen on my laptop my mom making breakfast at the stovetop the sound of chirping birds in the background and the cool wind that rushed through the house and the smell of bacon and eggs sitting on a plate on the counter i would play minecraft at. The memories of the good old days is what I cherish most about Minecraft. I don't know when I will return back to the game.. but I know for sure when I do.. I will make some friends to enjoy the game with whilst popping a coke.
The end.. (This story is actually true and I as I am typing this comment I still haven't touched the game)
Thank you for the captions, made me smile before bed. Have a good night!
I’ll never forget how much comfort this game brought me when i was a kid and i was scared or stressed Minecraft was the escape
Hey! Love the video helps me sleep, I was wondering where you got the kalimba audio from or if you made it yourself. If you got it from somewhere could you tell me or link it? It’s a lot softer and calmer than what other stuff I’ve seen online so I was hoping you could point me to that. Thanks for the sleep.
I made them by myself, maybe I should upload the covers
@@sleepyjeico Yes! :)
Hi what plug-ins did you use? I am in need of a good Kalimba sound either for Cubasis 3 or GarageBand on ipad or perhaps Logic on the Mac.
@@SproutyPottedPlant I used this one th-cam.com/video/x7XdNPQZDwo/w-d-xo.html
edit: also added reverb lol
This was my childhood. I have so many memorys in my mind. Its incredible. I first played it when i was 10 years old, and this year I‘m turning 18. When I listen to this wonderful memories of my childhood I remember how growing up sucks.
Thank you for making my childhood a better place.
