22K views, wtf?!?! I seriously thought this wouldn't get more than maybe 300 views when I uploaded this. I'm very glad people enjoyed the video! First, for those who may not know, I just wanna say that there are a lot of old Minecraft channels with cooler videos than this. Bugmancx, The Last Block, Mongster, BoxBlair, a Woolen Sleevelet, and probably a lot more that I'm forgetting or don't know about. Second, I made a world download. -Link in the description!- Apparently I need to be verified before I can put links in the description lol. Here it is: www.planetminecraft.com/project/beta-1-7-3-survival-world/ Finally, just want to say that I'm definitely planning on making more of these now. Probably not very frequently... but they will come!
The game had so much more charm back then and that’s not even nostalgia talking. With less stuff you had to be more creative, and it was more fun playing with limited blocks.
I'm only 18, never even played beta minecraft, but it looks so calming and comfy. It really does have that charm that modern minecraft completely lacks. I kinda wanna play it too. I kinda wish I was born a little sooner and experienced beta minecraft when it was the only minecraft, with none of the newer features that ruin the charm it had.
@@rysea9855 There’s a mod called “Better than Adventure” if you’d like to try out Beta 1.7.3 without the feeling of playing an outdated and abandoned version. Haven’t had time to check it out myself, but I’m definitely planning to give it a shot at some point.
There's something slightly sad and maybe even a little eerie about playing in a world that used to be a sprawling server with your friends. You pass little parts of the world, things you built together, things other people made, places you laughed together. Slowly people stopped logging on as much, life gets busy, and for whatever reason you end up being the last one. As a fellow last man on the server, this was so cool to see, I'm glad you still enjoy playing in the world!
Absolutely feel the same. I had a few servers with my friends that have since been dead for years but going through them is such a weird feeling. Such a lonely game in the end if you think about it…
That’s the sad reality of all minecraft worlds. They will all be left empty with no one to play them. I created a multiplayer world with my brother and we had a great time, I still play it but he’s long since lost interest. I tried advertising it online with a few players joining but they left as well. Now it’s just me building houses and towns on my own. I populate them with villagers so they don’t feel empty. If I ever have children one day I’ll want them to join me and I can show them all I’ve done.
Minecraft builds have become so large and impersonal, that I no longer find them impressive no matter how grand they are. This on the other hand, brings me back to the days where I used to just play the game for the sake of playing, and building my own thing without worrying about making it the biggest or best thing ever seen. Probably my favorite Minecraft video in a long time!
@@QUBIQUBEDthat is oversaturated freedom that gets old very quickly. The fun in making imrpessive builds in survival is the fact that it's challenging - not just in the design department
Wow, this is actually one of the best Minecraft worlds I’ve seen in months. Something about it just feels so cozy and at the same time gives a sense of grandeur, especially with the landscape views from the minecart rail
i seriously love the innocence of just a guy uploading a youtube video about his cool castle from beta 1.7.3, like this is a video that wouldve released in 2012. youve taken me back. thank you.
@@Sneed1488v2thank god other people recognize the absurdity of calling things “liminal spaces” like I can’t even take comments like these serious because it’s a catch all phrase! It feels dead and soulless
I know you've probably gotten hundreds of comments like this, but I absolutely love this style of Minecraft video. No editing besides cuts, just someone talking calmly while showcasing their world. I love beta 1.7.3 and I love the old-school nature of your builds + the style of the video in general. I'm kinda rambling, but these kinds of Minecraft videos are very relaxing, almost therapeutic. Reminds me a lot of the early days of coe's quest. Idk what else to say other than thank you.
TH-cam just recommended me this gem. crazy. I started MC an update or two before the bed update (Beta 1.6ish??) and I played RuneScape at the time too. Never watched something so nostalgic. The old sounds, nightfall visuals, textures, simplicity... and the RuneScape references. Brings me back when I would hear a cave noise, log off in fear, and grind melee on rock crabs in RS instead. Honestly, I remember the bed update specifically because surviving the night used to be so scary. Everything felt like a mystery back then... also probably because the game wasn't so popular. No standard or expected way to play or build, no creative mode for unlimited experimenting and spoiling of what to do. No villages or pillagers or storyline like the end. Just the simplistic and mysterious world you log into. Hope this video continues to blow up because there are definitely people out there like me who didn't know they needed to watch it until they've watched it.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to write this. Runescape is a part of my childhood as well, though I never got very high level. Later on, and to this day, I often use the OSRS soundtrack as a background for Minecraft. I'm thinking I'll need to include at least a couple more RS references in my castletown now...
there is just something inherently cozy and soothing about watching someone humbly and enthusiastically showing and explaining what he has build/plans to do. Add old minecraft to that and it amplifies said feeling even more

Your voice and all your builds and stuff are very calming and nostalgic. Also, the fact that this exists at all makes me feel a lot less lonely when it comes to playing older versions of Minecraft.. Idk, this video makes me feel good, thanks for making it ~w~
Theres a big community of players who play old versions of minecraft. r/goldageminecraft, theres also a couple of servers like oldschool minecraft on b1.7.3 and alphaplace on b1.1_02(that version is basically the same as a1.2.6 but has some important multiplayer changes which make the server actually safe to run) etc.
There's something so beautiful seeing old Minecraft versions. Really like the theme of the world, it feels oddly lively even if it sadly is now empty. Quite nostalgic and great video.
Beautiful, humble world. Playing old Minecraft is like playing with old lego. It has a more toned down, simplistic, melancholic vibe to it. Because there's so much going on in terms of mobs etc, you tend have to use your imagination more. This was a warm and calming video to watch
I've always said that it is impossible to make a bad minecraft world tour video. No matter even the skill of the builders, it's always so cool to see what a person is in the form of a minecraft world. I am not a specifically old version MC enjoyer, but I do definitely see the charm in it, and would consider doing something like this. I think it adds especially to a world tour, because it's also part of the art. It's just like there's a person to minecraft translator.
I might disagree on the fact that the building designs are better than what some skilled guys do in newer versions, but it's a ton more rewarding to build something that looks good because it's not as easy as it is now due to the limitations in the amount of blocks available, but as we know, limitation breeds creativity
Its something with castles back in the day, the mix of stone and cobblestone, also the dark lightning. Just makes the experience inside a castle euphoric, so nostalgic. I loved every second of this
12:50 oh wow, I got goosebumps when the music started, what a blessing of a video. Thank you. Thank you so much for this although the times may be lost this video reminds me that they will never be forgotten. I really like this video
This was beautiful, especially Lumbridge and the Farm Island. Those two felt like walking through the streets of a countryside town during the summer, really well done
This channel is like a time capsule of old Minecraft and TH-cam and I love it! Happy I found a new series to watch that brings back my childhood and reminds me of when TH-cam was a simpler place. I feel like a kid again all snuggled up ready to binge watch my favorite Minecraft TH-camrs :)
Damn, a straight track going as far as you can see is nostalgic as hell! I remember my brother and I grinding for that achievement back in the day. Forgot all about that
bro you have no idea the amount of pure nostalgia and hope this whole video gave me, minecraft was the first pc game i ever played back when minecraft for free was an early site just hearing all the old sounds and everything brings me back to when i first started, scared, lonely, hiding on top of a tree in an amalgamation of a hut cause i had no food and no knowledge of how to actually play, like literally i remember being so shocked when i first found the bow recipe thanks for uploading this bro, made my day
Stuff like this keeps our memories alive. Too often, we think that the "good ol' days" are far gone and unachievable, but videos like this remind me that we can still find that feeling, it just takes some reminding, and a little bit of effort. Thank you.
This is the coolest thing ever. If you do build more, please continue to do these tours as this world just feels so cozy and nice. I truly think that minecraft builds back in the day were less advanced due to a lack of knowledge rather than a lack of materials, and the quality of your builds prove that. I love the 'Georgian' bit you showed as well, I am now very tempted to build an entire village of Dickenzian cottages in the snow because of it :)
Thanks! I totally agree with you about the building knowledge thing; in fact, my style is quite simple compared to some of the other people I've seen on this version. I suggest checking out Mongster's videos, he's building a castle with INSANELY good detail.
Dude this video takes me back to the good old days of let's plays. The simple format and calm speaking is so much better than the minecraft videos that have gotten so popular over the years, where they talk so quickly and throw a million things at you at once. Keep this stuff up, there is a big audience that love this kind of video.
Found your channel a couple days ago, and I've been enjoying the videos. While I play modern Minecraft (I haven't updated since 1.20.1, though), I've enjoyed the simple and easy Minecraft content from you. Not only does it take me back to a simpler time (I started playing Minecraft in early-to-mid beta), you also don't rely on a lot of loud noise, or "interesting" and attention-grabbing. The way you make videos is thematically very like the versions of Minecraft you seem to frequent - simple, calm, appreciable. As someone who keeps my own Minecraft play style rather old-fashioned and simple, I really enjoy your calm and relaxing voice, your very nice builds, and your cosy worlds. Thanks for making these!
This video is strait out of another era and it was uploaded two videos. Totally giving me vibes like I’m a kid watching a video back in the day. I know nostalgia is a factor, but there was something else special about Minecraft back in these days
Wow! My most recent video doubled in views after getting recommended from this one. This world tour blew UP. Let me start off by saying your world is crazy impressive though. I loved the various themed areas you’ve built, especially the castles haha. Between the ones made by you and your friend, I much prefer yours. The interior and exterior designs on yours are much more thorough and seem to have much more care put into mirroring real life counterparts. I especially love the common room you pointed out - it really does have a great layout and vibe to it. Also, I’m gonna have to steal the netherrack tower caps you used - they turned out much better in practice than I would have imagined. You also really made a great use out of the different wood types. I’m excited for when I get to the beta updates (and new wood) in my world! Looking forward to the next update you post!! This save is really inspiring :)
Thanks for watching and taking the time to write this comment. The views this video got are unreal; I know people generally enjoyed it but there was definitely some major algorithm luck involved somewhere. Feel free to steal anything, hehe. Your world is inspiring as well. I really like the vibes of your library. Good luck with your series!
dude!!! i don't think you'll see this comment, but this was seriously so cool. you're super knowledgeable about architectural styles and provided some awesome commentary about the history of the world, the architectural inspirations of your builds... and god, this was so cool! and the editing styles - i saw someone else mention this - but that was so cool! it reminds me of watching my older cousins play minecraft when i was a young kid, when 1.7.3 was out. it also reminds me of old videos like X's Adventures in Minecraft. Awesome stuff!!!!
seeing you talk about your world made me feel like a kid again building random stuff in my world, makes me want to go back and play this version even if it wasn't the version i grew up with
Man this really brings me back to like elementary school, playing with my friends on the Xbox 360 version after school. I wonder if i still have any of those old worlds. Beta 1.7.3 is a great version
12:47 when that music started while you were talking about your first base made me miss playing Minecraft so much. Im gonna do something similar too, thanks!
when you would introduce a build in your world that never had the chance of being used because the server died out before it could is too relatable to me! I've started multiple realms with my friends and we would always start projects that we were excited to finish or projects I wanted my friends to visit, but we would get busy or forget before we could. I remember the last server I was on, I had spent many hours building the largest farm on the server with every crop we would need as well as a farm house and tavern, but no one had shown up for the last couple visits I made on the server and so I left shortly after. Your tour and continuation of this world despite everyone leaving has made me want to do the same.
I like building farms that cover entire landscapes. The thing is, a tiny farm can fill a double chest with an entire harvest! So I'm often over-produce ;)
Got this vid into my recommended feed bc i've been on a nostalgia minecraft trip lately and I have to say this was a very pleasant experience. I love your world and especially the building style! You also have a great voice, could sit there and listen to you walk me through stuff for hours :) Can't wait for an update in a few months time to see how the world progresses!
This is what is missing from Minecraft these days! Imagination! I'm barely into the video but a lot of what you made doesn't have a practical purpose, nobody will stay at that inn, but you can imagine people would, and that's the fun of it!
Old Minecraft feels so different. Almost like a place time has forgotten. I can’t tell if it feels older or newer than modern Minecraft if that makes sense.
I don't know if you're old enough to get these references, but the castle keep you built has MAJOR Thief the dark project vibes. You even sound like the guards when talking. Also when you were on the roof talking about interconnectedness I got major Dark Souls vibes, the roof architecture is straight out of Lordran. Anyways awesome build, I really like what you did with the castle, I hope we'll get to see it finished one day!
I started playing Minecraft in the Beta stages around this same update. It was definitely the golden age of the game. I also loved making castles and villages just like this. Man would I love to ahve those days back where you could hop on with a couple friends and really only worry about building and hanging out
im absolutely in love with this project, it reminds me of good old times around 2009 when me and my friends would play on alpha and later beta and always having stories and descriptions about every house, town roleplaying, etc, this is sick
I've noticed that I am really getting into the absurd ways of playing Minecraft, just started a superflat world a week ago, and now this looks very intriguing as well. The textures look so good, and the sounds really send me back to when I started in 2011, time flies!
man ngl, but these two castles and their entire walk/railway systems are sooooo cool, like you have shown me things id never expect to be build in modern minecraft with how simpe they look, also you just inspired me to start building underground minecart tracks again, im going to adapt this playstyle to modern day multiplayer with how nice and unique it will look in contrast to all these super fancy and detailed builds that the kids work on these days
Usually don't comment on videos but I wanted to say that I enjoy your building style a lot, it's very unique compared to other beta building styles I've seen! Keep making update videos, I subscribed and would love to see how you evolve this world. Also love the Judeau pfp and Runescape references!
YOOO THE OLD DOOR SOUND AND COW ANIMATION, THE FEEL TO THE GAME WAS SO DIFFERENT. I KINDA MISS 2014 WHEN I USED TO PLAY MINECRAFT AND LEGO GAMES ON MY SISTERS PS3
This serene vibe old Minecraft gave off. I miss it. You’re a very relaxing TH-camr, Minecraft nowadays is so focused on keeping your focus om the game at all times, bright colours, lots of mobs & things to do. Minecraft in the version you play in is just like: “Hey man, we put you in this world, there’s tons of acres of lands to explore. Go on a nice, quiet adventure, and enjoy yourself.” Super cool ⛏️❤️
This is so nice. I don't play beta often, but I want to incorporate some of the things in this world in my own world. More minecarts and better mineshafts makes things feel larger and deeper.
I really love this style. A honest tour of a world, not up to date just a world you clearly enjoy. Barely any editing at all and a calm voice monologuing the experience, seriously amazing please upload more.
19:17 i was thoroughly enjoying the video when suddenly the music triggered my nostalgia depression and started to sob thinking about all the memories playing this game with friends that im pretty sure im the only one thats remembered. god i love minecraft.
I’m only a few minutes in and there’s so much I love about this world! The detail is great, your architectural knowledge is clearly complementary to your builds. And I love how you put some full blocks in the roofs so some snow would be left on it. Nice lord of the rings reference and I love the theme of Lumbridge :) how long ago did everyone leave? And is firetick off? “Squeebit” For my own future court yard I plan on having pink cherry trees along with a few buildings, traditionally common houses for the servants, guards, or storehouses were in the courtyard with the royalty in the keep. Man that great hall on the entrance gives me tons of nostalgia. You did a great job of filling that giant space! 💀 bro you’re just watching it burn alive… yeah dog AI is terrible and they’re really only worth keeping as guards, you can’t take them anywhere without them killing themselves. Also that’s why I recommend showing a tour on a backup lol Loving your mine designs here. Also nice skin, epic reference . I remember seeing your miner’s camp on the r/GoldenAgeMinecraft subreddit! I agree caving is a ton of fun. Is 25 a good level for caves specifically or did you just pick it for ease? That pushing the mine cart up a slope using stairs is very smart. I might have to use that myself. How do those leaves not despawn? Overall bro it’s an amazing, lovely world. I hope you continue it, I love your style, it’s perfect for Beta. Thank you so much for uploading and I hope it gets lots of views!
Hey, I can't believe someone actually watched all 40 minutes lol! Thanks for the kind words, it means a lot coming from such a good builder. Honestly took me like 10 minutes to remember what the lord of the rings reference was lol. Everyone left the server ~11 months ago. It was quite short lived. Firetick is not off. As for the dog, I was just in pure shock for the first few seconds haha. And HOLY SHIT how did I not think to use a backup for this. I think I read that 20 to 30 were the most common layers for caves to be found in this version, so I just went with 25. And I assume you're talking about those leaves on the grass at the end there... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ they just generated like that I guess. No idea.
This was a very peaceful watch. Please continue even though your friends hopped off, as this is something you will be very happy for in a couple of years. I am starting my own beta project in a few days. The simplicity is very calming compared to the otherwise chaotic and overwhelming life we live day to day. One should not forget their inner child. This is like building or restoring a car - something you've made with your own hands adds a great feeling of accomplishment.
I've never played on pre 1.8 minecraft, but this has inspired me so much! I love your use of the stone base to a lot of the buildings in your hamlets with a wooden log overhang! That kind of depth mixed with the sand looks so good!
I really love the feel of old versions of Minecraft. It just takes you in. This Minecraft right here was surely designed for survival Minecraft and exploration. No versions after 1.5 give me these feelings anymore. Maybe it's just that I grew older or I don't know. That fog on the horizon, horrendous textures of blocks xD, music, feeling of solitude... It's just something else. Thank you for the video.
Man your map is amazing. I can see the care and effort you've put into everything. Please if it's not a nuisance keep updating us on the changes of the world! (Sorry if I wrote something wrong, I'm from Brazil and I'm still learning English).
Haha, the video is blowing up again. Loved the vid man, it was very therapeutic and inspirational. Might end up trying out some of the older versions again. Peace and love.
Loved this video I really like how you calmly show us everything you've built in your world I'll watch the other videos once I get more time, keep up the good work
I watched the whole thing from start to finish. It really brings back some nostalgia when I hear you talking about your world. Sadly I don't have any of my old worlds anymore :/
This is awesome! Minecraft has changed a lot over the years and now SMP'S and competitive Minecraft has taken over, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I do miss the days of mc where people would just do a let's play building their world. This is very cool
This video is so relaxing and cozy that I fell asleep about 15 minutes in, and then I woke up to the sound of a whimpering dog :') hahaha it was weird but I'm glad the doggo is okay
For areas where you don't have powered rails, a simple solution could be to just throw in a minecart with a furnace to push the other ones. They use fuel, but since you're mining, you'll probably pick up a lot of coal which you only need so much of anyways.
That’s true. I actually believed for some reason that furnace carts didn’t work in this version, but recently I saw a video by The Last Block that proved me wrong. That opens up a lot of opportunities
I feel like this is a video everybody needed. It's like visiting a graveyard to your childhood, but it is actually a very pleasant, peaceful and nostalgic experience. Thank you mate.
The fact that he kept the notice board and doesn’t even take any items from the castle because it was his friends… man this hits me for some reason. It is such a lonely game… damn
Remind me when me and my cousin would play with legos. We had a small grey flat plane to build all our buildings on. We had limited legos. But we still had this deep feeling as we built our creations. We didn't think like "what's the point" or "who would care in 10 years" or "it looks simple". The simplicity and limitation actually added to it. We just did it and then it just "got into it" and we treated our lego creations like it was a diamond after a while. We would put it on display on the living room table or something. Don't you dare ruin it! If someone destroyed it, we would be so pissed. I felt this feeling with your video. This experiment is probably about this thing. That feeling is so good

The old sounds, nightfall visuals, textures, simplicity... and the RuneScape references. Brings me back when I would hear a cave noise, log off in fear, and grind melee on rock crabs in RS instead. Honestly, I remember the bed update specifically because surviving the night used to be so scary. Everything felt like a mystery back then... also probably because the game wasn't so popular. No standard or expected way to play or build, no creative mode for unlimited experimenting and spoiling of what to do. No villages or pillagers or storyline like the end. Just the simplistic and mysterious world you log into. Hope this video continues to blow up because there are definitely people out there like me who didn't know they needed to watch it until they've watched it.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to write this. Runescape is a part of my childhood as well, though I never got very high level. Later on, and to this day, I often use the OSRS soundtrack as a background for Minecraft. I'm thinking I'll need to include at least a couple more RS references in my castletown now...
12:41 idk why but the way the music comes in as you say "this was, uh... my first base, actually"" almost brought me to tears i dont know why
there is just something inherently cozy and soothing about watching someone humbly and enthusiastically showing and explaining what he has build/plans to do. Add old minecraft to that and it amplifies said feeling even more
Incredible world. I too love connecting everything via rail! deff inspired me for some new additions in my own world.
Hey thanks! I love your world btw

Your voice and all your builds and stuff are very calming and nostalgic. Also, the fact that this exists at all makes me feel a lot less lonely when it comes to playing older versions of Minecraft.. Idk, this video makes me feel good, thanks for making it ~w~

absolutely not gay, @Bell is right
Theres a big community of players who play old versions of minecraft. r/goldageminecraft, theres also a couple of servers like oldschool minecraft on b1.7.3 and alphaplace on b1.1_02(that version is basically the same as a1.2.6 but has some important multiplayer changes which make the server actually safe to run) etc.
Man I thought this was gonna take a very dark turn with the dog lmao
There's something so beautiful seeing old Minecraft versions. Really like the theme of the world, it feels oddly lively even if it sadly is now empty. Quite nostalgic and great video.
Beautiful, humble world. Playing old Minecraft is like playing with old lego. It has a more toned down, simplistic, melancholic vibe to it. Because there's so much going on in terms of mobs etc, you tend have to use your imagination more.
This was a warm and calming video to watch
I've always said that it is impossible to make a bad minecraft world tour video. No matter even the skill of the builders, it's always so cool to see what a person is in the form of a minecraft world. I am not a specifically old version MC enjoyer, but I do definitely see the charm in it, and would consider doing something like this. I think it adds especially to a world tour, because it's also part of the art.
It's just like there's a person to minecraft translator.
Gosh, this video brings me back to my childhood. It almost feels like the very first memory of Christmas in a way. How good it was back then...
Never thought to use sand for timber framing like that. Very creative. Thank you for sharing the world with us.
When I discovered that use for sand it changed my life bro
12:42 Really Good Moment with Music Sync
I know right? It starts and stops exactly in time with the farm island tour.
@@dialko2596and at 2:18, the music concludes as you finish the boat ride and prepare to explore the mountains :)
i LOVED these snowy flatlands back in the day. This version and the building designs are just so much better than what people make now
I might disagree on the fact that the building designs are better than what some skilled guys do in newer versions, but it's a ton more rewarding to build something that looks good because it's not as easy as it is now due to the limitations in the amount of blocks available, but as we know, limitation breeds creativity
Its something with castles back in the day, the mix of stone and cobblestone, also the dark lightning. Just makes the experience inside a castle euphoric, so nostalgic. I loved every second of this
Finally someone said it
"I know it's not much" buddy, that is more that I've ever built in one world, and IN BETA. NO ELYTRA. NO NOTHING. You're amazing, keep at it!
12:50 oh wow, I got goosebumps when the music started, what a blessing of a video. Thank you. Thank you so much for this although the times may be lost this video reminds me that they will never be forgotten. I really like this video
This was beautiful, especially Lumbridge and the Farm Island. Those two felt like walking through the streets of a countryside town during the summer, really well done
Thanks! That's a good way to describe it. I'm very happy with the Lumbridge area.
This is one of the most inspiring and peaceful videos I have watched in the past months. Thank you, you have a truly beautiful world.
This channel is like a time capsule of old Minecraft and TH-cam and I love it! Happy I found a new series to watch that brings back my childhood and reminds me of when TH-cam was a simpler place. I feel like a kid again all snuggled up ready to binge watch my favorite Minecraft TH-camrs :)
I’m here from the subreddit and I’m impressed by how much detail you put on the castle 👍
what subreddit is it again? dont feel like looking for it in the video lol

Damn, a straight track going as far as you can see is nostalgic as hell! I remember my brother and I grinding for that achievement back in the day. Forgot all about that
bro you have no idea the amount of pure nostalgia and hope this whole video gave me, minecraft was the first pc game i ever played back when minecraft for free was an early site
just hearing all the old sounds and everything brings me back to when i first started, scared, lonely, hiding on top of a tree in an amalgamation of a hut cause i had no food and no knowledge of how to actually play, like literally i remember being so shocked when i first found the bow recipe
thanks for uploading this bro, made my day
Stuff like this keeps our memories alive. Too often, we think that the "good ol' days" are far gone and unachievable, but videos like this remind me that we can still find that feeling, it just takes some reminding, and a little bit of effort. Thank you.
This is the coolest thing ever. If you do build more, please continue to do these tours as this world just feels so cozy and nice. I truly think that minecraft builds back in the day were less advanced due to a lack of knowledge rather than a lack of materials, and the quality of your builds prove that. I love the 'Georgian' bit you showed as well, I am now very tempted to build an entire village of Dickenzian cottages in the snow because of it :)
Thanks! I totally agree with you about the building knowledge thing; in fact, my style is quite simple compared to some of the other people I've seen on this version. I suggest checking out Mongster's videos, he's building a castle with INSANELY good detail.
very charming world and a lovely tour, you've gained a new subscriber :)
:)
12:41 that is what i love in old versions of minecraft, that music, just fits in so well. also 19:16
Dude this video takes me back to the good old days of let's plays. The simple format and calm speaking is so much better than the minecraft videos that have gotten so popular over the years, where they talk so quickly and throw a million things at you at once. Keep this stuff up, there is a big audience that love this kind of video.
Beautifully designed. So much detail is packed into such basic rooms. Seeing the unnamed castle was shocking in a good way.
Found your channel a couple days ago, and I've been enjoying the videos. While I play modern Minecraft (I haven't updated since 1.20.1, though), I've enjoyed the simple and easy Minecraft content from you. Not only does it take me back to a simpler time (I started playing Minecraft in early-to-mid beta), you also don't rely on a lot of loud noise, or "interesting" and attention-grabbing. The way you make videos is thematically very like the versions of Minecraft you seem to frequent - simple, calm, appreciable.
As someone who keeps my own Minecraft play style rather old-fashioned and simple, I really enjoy your calm and relaxing voice, your very nice builds, and your cosy worlds. Thanks for making these!
This video is strait out of another era and it was uploaded two videos. Totally giving me vibes like I’m a kid watching a video back in the day. I know nostalgia is a factor, but there was something else special about Minecraft back in these days
Wow! My most recent video doubled in views after getting recommended from this one. This world tour blew UP. Let me start off by saying your world is crazy impressive though. I loved the various themed areas you’ve built, especially the castles haha. Between the ones made by you and your friend, I much prefer yours. The interior and exterior designs on yours are much more thorough and seem to have much more care put into mirroring real life counterparts. I especially love the common room you pointed out - it really does have a great layout and vibe to it. Also, I’m gonna have to steal the netherrack tower caps you used - they turned out much better in practice than I would have imagined. You also really made a great use out of the different wood types. I’m excited for when I get to the beta updates (and new wood) in my world!
Looking forward to the next update you post!! This save is really inspiring :)
Thanks for watching and taking the time to write this comment. The views this video got are unreal; I know people generally enjoyed it but there was definitely some major algorithm luck involved somewhere.
Feel free to steal anything, hehe. Your world is inspiring as well. I really like the vibes of your library. Good luck with your series!
At 3:30 it is called a Quoin corner. They can be built for strength and sometimes just for aesthetics.
dude!!! i don't think you'll see this comment, but this was seriously so cool. you're super knowledgeable about architectural styles and provided some awesome commentary about the history of the world, the architectural inspirations of your builds... and god, this was so cool! and the editing styles - i saw someone else mention this - but that was so cool! it reminds me of watching my older cousins play minecraft when i was a young kid, when 1.7.3 was out. it also reminds me of old videos like X's Adventures in Minecraft. Awesome stuff!!!!
I read more comments than you might think. Glad you enjoyed the vid :)
Love the sand in the houses! It’s a really nice alternative to wool for that Tudor style!
seeing you talk about your world made me feel like a kid again building random stuff in my world, makes me want to go back and play this version even if it wasn't the version i grew up with
Man this really brings me back to like elementary school, playing with my friends on the Xbox 360 version after school. I wonder if i still have any of those old worlds. Beta 1.7.3 is a great version
12:47 when that music started while you were talking about your first base made me miss playing Minecraft so much. Im gonna do something similar too, thanks!
when you would introduce a build in your world that never had the chance of being used because the server died out before it could is too relatable to me! I've started multiple realms with my friends and we would always start projects that we were excited to finish or projects I wanted my friends to visit, but we would get busy or forget before we could. I remember the last server I was on, I had spent many hours building the largest farm on the server with every crop we would need as well as a farm house and tavern, but no one had shown up for the last couple visits I made on the server and so I left shortly after. Your tour and continuation of this world despite everyone leaving has made me want to do the same.
I like building farms that cover entire landscapes. The thing is, a tiny farm can fill a double chest with an entire harvest! So I'm often over-produce ;)
Got this vid into my recommended feed bc i've been on a nostalgia minecraft trip lately and I have to say this was a very pleasant experience. I love your world and especially the building style! You also have a great voice, could sit there and listen to you walk me through stuff for hours :)
Can't wait for an update in a few months time to see how the world progresses!
This is what is missing from Minecraft these days! Imagination! I'm barely into the video but a lot of what you made doesn't have a practical purpose, nobody will stay at that inn, but you can imagine people would, and that's the fun of it!
Old Minecraft feels so different. Almost like a place time has forgotten. I can’t tell if it feels older or newer than modern Minecraft if that makes sense.
I don't know if you're old enough to get these references, but the castle keep you built has MAJOR Thief the dark project vibes. You even sound like the guards when talking. Also when you were on the roof talking about interconnectedness I got major Dark Souls vibes, the roof architecture is straight out of Lordran. Anyways awesome build, I really like what you did with the castle, I hope we'll get to see it finished one day!
I know of Thief, just never played it. Interesting point about dark souls, though. Never thought of that.
I started playing Minecraft in the Beta stages around this same update. It was definitely the golden age of the game. I also loved making castles and villages just like this. Man would I love to ahve those days back where you could hop on with a couple friends and really only worry about building and hanging out
im absolutely in love with this project, it reminds me of good old times around 2009 when me and my friends would play on alpha and later beta and always having stories and descriptions about every house, town roleplaying, etc, this is sick
I've noticed that I am really getting into the absurd ways of playing Minecraft, just started a superflat world a week ago, and now this looks very intriguing as well. The textures look so good, and the sounds really send me back to when I started in 2011, time flies!
man ngl, but these two castles and their entire walk/railway systems are sooooo cool, like you have shown me things id never expect to be build in modern minecraft with how simpe they look, also you just inspired me to start building underground minecart tracks again, im going to adapt this playstyle to modern day multiplayer with how nice and unique it will look in contrast to all these super fancy and detailed builds that the kids work on these days
Usually don't comment on videos but I wanted to say that I enjoy your building style a lot, it's very unique compared to other beta building styles I've seen! Keep making update videos, I subscribed and would love to see how you evolve this world. Also love the Judeau pfp and Runescape references!
YOOO THE OLD DOOR SOUND AND COW ANIMATION, THE FEEL TO THE GAME WAS SO DIFFERENT. I KINDA MISS 2014 WHEN I USED TO PLAY MINECRAFT AND LEGO GAMES ON MY SISTERS PS3
This serene vibe old Minecraft gave off. I miss it. You’re a very relaxing TH-camr, Minecraft nowadays is so focused on keeping your focus om the game at all times, bright colours, lots of mobs & things to do. Minecraft in the version you play in is just like: “Hey man, we put you in this world, there’s tons of acres of lands to explore. Go on a nice, quiet adventure, and enjoy yourself.” Super cool ⛏️❤️
I suppose im being an anus, but new minecraft is much less vivid in the foliage, where old minecraft had brighter colors.
what a ridiculous comment...
This is so nice. I don't play beta often, but I want to incorporate some of the things in this world in my own world. More minecarts and better mineshafts makes things feel larger and deeper.
I really love this style. A honest tour of a world, not up to date just a world you clearly enjoy. Barely any editing at all and a calm voice monologuing the experience, seriously amazing please upload more.
19:17 i was thoroughly enjoying the video when suddenly the music triggered my nostalgia depression and started to sob thinking about all the memories playing this game with friends that im pretty sure im the only one thats remembered. god i love minecraft.
I’m only a few minutes in and there’s so much I love about this world! The detail is great, your architectural knowledge is clearly complementary to your builds. And I love how you put some full blocks in the roofs so some snow would be left on it.
Nice lord of the rings reference and I love the theme of Lumbridge :) how long ago did everyone leave? And is firetick off?
“Squeebit”
For my own future court yard I plan on having pink cherry trees along with a few buildings, traditionally common houses for the servants, guards, or storehouses were in the courtyard with the royalty in the keep.
Man that great hall on the entrance gives me tons of nostalgia. You did a great job of filling that giant space!
💀 bro you’re just watching it burn alive… yeah dog AI is terrible and they’re really only worth keeping as guards, you can’t take them anywhere without them killing themselves. Also that’s why I recommend showing a tour on a backup lol
Loving your mine designs here. Also nice skin, epic reference . I remember seeing your miner’s camp on the r/GoldenAgeMinecraft subreddit!
I agree caving is a ton of fun. Is 25 a good level for caves specifically or did you just pick it for ease?
That pushing the mine cart up a slope using stairs is very smart. I might have to use that myself.
How do those leaves not despawn?
Overall bro it’s an amazing, lovely world. I hope you continue it, I love your style, it’s perfect for Beta. Thank you so much for uploading and I hope it gets lots of views!
Hey, I can't believe someone actually watched all 40 minutes lol! Thanks for the kind words, it means a lot coming from such a good builder.
Honestly took me like 10 minutes to remember what the lord of the rings reference was lol. Everyone left the server ~11 months ago. It was quite short lived. Firetick is not off. As for the dog, I was just in pure shock for the first few seconds haha. And HOLY SHIT how did I not think to use a backup for this.
I think I read that 20 to 30 were the most common layers for caves to be found in this version, so I just went with 25. And I assume you're talking about those leaves on the grass at the end there... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ they just generated like that I guess. No idea.
@@dialko2596 thank you for answering my faq, and yes of course it was a very relaxing video and I’m excited to see more in the future! Good luck mate
@@dialko2596 wait lumbridge was a lotr reference thought it was a runescape reference
@@rsdudetsom Nah, Farmer Maggot is the LotR reference
This was a very peaceful watch. Please continue even though your friends hopped off, as this is something you will be very happy for in a couple of years. I am starting my own beta project in a few days. The simplicity is very calming compared to the otherwise chaotic and overwhelming life we live day to day. One should not forget their inner child. This is like building or restoring a car - something you've made with your own hands adds a great feeling of accomplishment.
WHEN THE DOG JUMPED INTO THE FIRE AT 26:50 LMAO
This is the true minecraft experience, no crazy rtx stuff just pure fun.
A fellow runescape enjoyer, I see! Very cool world, always nostalgic seeing minecraft without the hunger bar.
You've recaptured that sense of wonder I felt watching MC videos 12 years ago. Thanks brah
I've never played on pre 1.8 minecraft, but this has inspired me so much! I love your use of the stone base to a lot of the buildings in your hamlets with a wooden log overhang! That kind of depth mixed with the sand looks so good!
Your world reminds me the tutorial world from the console versions, it feels nostalgic....
holy the nostalgia I feel from this video, truly amazing
I really love the feel of old versions of Minecraft. It just takes you in. This Minecraft right here was surely designed for survival Minecraft and exploration. No versions after 1.5 give me these feelings anymore. Maybe it's just that I grew older or I don't know. That fog on the horizon, horrendous textures of blocks xD, music, feeling of solitude... It's just something else. Thank you for the video.
Man your map is amazing. I can see the care and effort you've put into everything. Please if it's not a nuisance keep updating us on the changes of the world! (Sorry if I wrote something wrong, I'm from Brazil and I'm still learning English).
Haha, the video is blowing up again. Loved the vid man, it was very therapeutic and inspirational. Might end up trying out some of the older versions again. Peace and love.
Loved this video
I really like how you calmly show us everything you've built in your world
I'll watch the other videos once I get more time, keep up the good work
I watched the whole thing from start to finish. It really brings back some nostalgia when I hear you talking about your world. Sadly I don't have any of my old worlds anymore :/
Im thinking of exploring your world myself :o
Go for it, I’ve also added a little more to the castle and the mines since this vid :)
@@dialko2596 Yeah I just saw you also have more videos. Definitely will watch them too :)
This is awesome!
Minecraft has changed a lot over the years and now SMP'S and competitive Minecraft has taken over, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I do miss the days of mc where people would just do a let's play building their world. This is very cool
This really reminds me of the old paulsaurjr how to survive and thrive which got me into the game. Really enjoyed it
I really like the bridge, looks like the Shadow of the colossus bridge. Goes well with the landscape too
I thought the same thing :3
This video is so relaxing and cozy that I fell asleep about 15 minutes in, and then I woke up to the sound of a whimpering dog :') hahaha it was weird but I'm glad the doggo is okay
Amazing world my friend you inspired me to start my own 1.7.3 beta world now
Thank you for sharing your world with us all. It must have been a trip to go everywhere and relive those old memories. Wishing you all the best!
This vid is straight out of 2012
The dog catching on fire while you’re talking about how special it is gave me a good laugh.
For areas where you don't have powered rails, a simple solution could be to just throw in a minecart with a furnace to push the other ones. They use fuel, but since you're mining, you'll probably pick up a lot of coal which you only need so much of anyways.
That’s true. I actually believed for some reason that furnace carts didn’t work in this version, but recently I saw a video by The Last Block that proved me wrong. That opens up a lot of opportunities
12:40 The most perfect timing for the music to kick in!
Amazing video, by the way. It’s looking great!
Should’ve read other comments before making this one.
20:49 Channeling Deckard Cain from Diablo 2 for a second there XD
I feel like this is a video everybody needed. It's like visiting a graveyard to your childhood, but it is actually a very pleasant, peaceful and nostalgic experience. Thank you mate.
The fact that he kept the notice board and doesn’t even take any items from the castle because it was his friends… man this hits me for some reason. It is such a lonely game… damn
Remind me when me and my cousin would play with legos. We had a small grey flat plane to build all our buildings on. We had limited legos. But we still had this deep feeling as we built our creations. We didn't think like "what's the point" or "who would care in 10 years" or "it looks simple". The simplicity and limitation actually added to it. We just did it and then it just "got into it" and we treated our lego creations like it was a diamond after a while. We would put it on display on the living room table or something. Don't you dare ruin it! If someone destroyed it, we would be so pissed. I felt this feeling with your video. This experiment is probably about this thing. That feeling is so good
