I'll never understand why Mojang didn't make it so that the sniffer can find cyan rose seeds and add that as a way to get them in modern versions. Its who gimmick is finding ancient ; long lost flower seeds.
@@Kaktus-xj7sj I don't think the sniffer is pointless, but I do hope Mojang adds more things into the game in future versions that the sniffer can find for you, and it'd be kinda cool if they gave it a chance to find OG rose/cyan rose seeds as a little bit of fan service for older players.
@@HappyMatt12345 It's not completely pointless but I don't really like it's design or the flowers it does find at the moment but in the end that's just personal preference
@@DaRulah yeah, them adding new things to minecraft is fine but it's very annoying when the remove/ change old features for no good reason (or when the new stuff they add is poorly done)
god i remember back in the day building anything remotely tall was always so ass clenching because sneak hadn't been added yet, i had so many construction related deaths. also worth mentioning is that fire used to be really really dangerous and could easily destroy your entire house faster than you could react so you always had to be very careful about using lava for decoration
I remember when I first started playing getting any rain in the game was terrifying as if lightning struck your wood house it would catch on fire and burn before you could react. Lost my first house that way. The memory sticks with me to this day lol.
I remember I had one world where I built my house halfway up a cliff in a valley. There were trees all over, on the hills and in the valley bottom. After being on the world for quite a while I had generated a chunk with a single lava source block making a lava fall down the side of a mountain. This I didn't notice at the time. One day I was cooking food and all of the sudden there is a wild fire coming over the hill on the opposite side of the valley from my house. It swept through the valley and kept going leaving random unburned wood blocks floating everywhere.
There’s that infamous vid of the guy who built a wood house with lava lighting back when lava did no fire damage, but then saw lava fire damage was added to the game and scrambled to log on…. Probably staged but still hilarious.
Probably the most amusing for me was the glass popcorn machine, this was _very early_ alpha before even furnaces were added (imagine that, late joiners). The only way to make certain items was to burn it with flint&steel or throw it in lava, which back then didn't destroy most items. The only way to make glass was to burn sand directly, leading to an amusing popcorn effect when being thrown into lava. There is a really old video called "Minecraft Popcorn Smelting" that still shows it. Also back in those days, Minecraft had like a "try before you buy" browser version, running 0.30 alpha on the Minecraft website. But the best quality of life feature was when they _finally_ added beds in Beta 1.3. Before that nights were basically just a chore to get through if you didn't spend it mining.
I didn't know about that popcorn thing, thanks for the comment! Personally I sort of like not having beds since it adds a bit more challenge to the game
I really miss the browser version of Minecraft, I had a lot of fun on there even after buying the full game. It was always chaos on the multiplayer for it and there were a lot of fun games people would play.
I also remember when there was no WIKI. Playing the game felt like being on another planet, you were not always sure why things happened and you were always testing to see how things worked. I remember being excited when I was able to get grass to spread to new blocks, so I could have grass on the roof of my dirt house.
I still don't understand how I played a really early version of Minecraft at my friend's house, before even alpha was released? I know I got the dates right, because it was the week before my uncle died. 🤷🏼♂️
One thing I miss is the old village generation. It was always fun to see a couple houses and a gravel path that just leads up a cliff with half a church on it
This might be my favourite minecraft video in a long time for more than nostalgia. No youtuber voice, no crazy over the top editing and overall making my brain subtly melt. Just someone talking about the little things of the past they thought were neat, it ironically feels like a video made back in the alpha days. On that note, I really like the place you've built there! Might have to take notes myself for the next time I pick up 1.7.3beta or the BTA mod, love how comfy it looks to just walk around at night. >u>
@@Kaktus-xj7sj Yea I kinda do a similar thing, functionality first before anything else is usually my motto :P Though I tend to have my buildings look a bit... lacking in variety with the existing blocks to say? Usually relying on the cave walls, cobble, and planks.
The squids actually used the cow code back when they were first added, they forgot to remove the milking code In fact you can even see this in action when they move as they swim like a cow walks
I really miss the old alpha boat elevators. Also the way you could have ladders on every second block and still be able to climb them. And old mob farms also produced feathers because of the zombies dropping them.
@@Kaktus-xj7sj I don't mind them either today. The biggest problem was when you had a trapdoor in between ladders (e.g. dividing diffrent levels of a buiding/mineshaft). Then you would do that awkward bobbing up and down on the ladder. On Java it's been fixed for a while now but bedrock STILL does not handle them the same way.
I had a difficult time finding anything about the dessert pyramid, not to be confused with the desert temple. I believe it was only on console versons, but it was a cool structure with a maze and 4 blocks of gold in the end, top chamber.
Don't know if anyone experienced this before, but in Pocket Edition, if you had an old world before the infinite world update, that world may generate new weird chunks that are separate from the old ones I remember just the old seeing pure blank void, and when it was filled, I was standing on top of a really high cubical island that was once my old world, and everything below is just the sea I had to make rails just to get to the new infinite world chunks, good times Ps the nether reactor I made was right next to the infinite world, so it got cut off lol Sadly that world is gone now, how I wish to go back in time again...
there are APK files available for android users, I downloaded an old version but haven't had a chance to sit down and actually play yet, got one pre-infinite worlds shame I don't know what my first version was
I remember that mountain biomes did not receive any snow, which, if I remember correctly, used to be restricted to certain biomes. I played on an old world that experienced many updates and one day I stumbled across a previously rendered mountain biome that did not have snow caps. A little unexpected nostalgia. I made sure to evacuate the premises before it could start to rain/snow in order to 'preserve' the 'monument'!
I totally forgot about the alternating ladders until I saw them in this video. You didn't mention them, but it was quite a throwback to me. Used to have those everywhere and it was a pain to fix when they removed that in an update
This video is the last straw for me, ive gone back to the first version of minecraft i ever picked up (1.8) and its the most fun ive had on mc in years. Thank you for sharing these videos!
Thats interesting to me because 1.8 was where I started to not feel the magic in Minecraft Not saying it was bad, just as someone who has played since beta, it lost that magic for me. I just recently got a bunch of friends and friends' friends together for a server. Its still fun, but with everything new i find myself grinding to make this then that. In the old versions there was interesting landscape so I wanted to explore kr the resources were limited so I HAD to. In older versions i would work with the landscape and integrate into it. The newer one just has me exploiting areas for resources to go exploit mechanics.
I'm so glad Mojang made it so easy to access older versions. It's probably one of the neatest moves they've ever made I remember having to go on a Minecraft Forums thread that archived older Minecraft.jar files to go back, it didn't have nearly as many versions since some were lost to time. Thankfully, Mojang still had them
man i remember when it has a huge deal when minecraft pocket edition got infinite worlds. damn near every one in my middle school was talking about it. i remember pretty much everything in this list though, I feel old now.
Just a small correction, the cyan flower wasn’t exclusive to the pocket edition version on Minecraft, but was also featured on the Raspberry Pi edition of Minecraft. I’d know because I may have spent way too much time on that edition when I was younger.
Wow as a Minecraft PE player since the early alpha versions the cyan rose is a huge throwback, completely forgot it was there. I remember the big things like the Nether Reactor and old world borders but that’s cool
I still remember around 2012-2015 I had a kindle with Minecraft PE modded. I had so many memories playing while on a flight or on a long road trip. I also remember Minecraft PE lite.
I was there when the Enderman was added to Pocket edition, so some of these old features are somewhat familiar. (For context, this was back when their eyes were still green and they had smoke effects)
Awesome vid, just subbed after watching a few videos I bought the game in Feb 2011 when I was in 5th grade, but played at my friends house every day for a year before my dad let me buy it. Some things are much better and I still generally still play modern MC - but there’s some things that just don’t exist and will be lost to time. Kids who are old enough to play the game now weren’t born when I was playing. Some of it is nostalgia but I think you did a great job with showing the simplicity of why we love older versions so much.
Oh my god, i can't believe i completely forgot about these flowers. I used them a couple of times in builds, but i was very young during this time, and i still have the old ipad that used to play minecraft and terraria on. Oh good days... good days...
I stil got my very first world I created in 2010 and a ton of 0.30 worlds including custom written multiplayer server software with "sort of" water physics from 2009. The problem with the survival world is that it's completely broken. Every 10 blocks there is a new biome, the leaves problem is completely out of hand, signs and chests are empty and since the level generator code changed 100 times through the updates I got farlands right next to my house. I still remember going to Notch's blog almost every day to find out what cool stuff he added to the game, especially those secret friday updates :)
I started to watch your channel. Man, this videos are so beautiful, the style of old minecraft is iconic, nostalgic, much like a liminal space. You got a new sub, keep it up
Wow, what a nostalgia trip this video was! Thank you for making this awesome video, it brought back a lot of great memories. I could almost shed a tear haha
i used to create signal lights by placing torches on the side of flammable blocks and lighting the top. the torch would prevent the block from burning up, effectively creating an infinitely burning wood block :)
Loved the vid man, been playing the xbox version since official release in 2012, build height of 128 blocks and using sticky pistons to make light switches with glowstone. Simpler times.
I love how much of this I somehow remember even tho Minecraft was already at beta 1.2_02 when I got it, but I guess I've also restarted Etho's minecraft LP from episode 1 multiple times (which now takes me over a year to finish even at multiple episodes a day)
Wow, thank you for the comment! I'm working on more video's don't worry and I'm glad that I could introduce you to the older versions of the game there's a lot of great stuff in them!
Also an interesting thing in Minecraft PE alpha versions was that there was TNT in creative mode but for a while it couldn’t be ignited, even when lava buckets were added in 0.7.0. It was only until flint and steel was added that you could
What I remember most about playing MC in 2012 was worldwide forest fires in almost every server. You would arrive at a server and walk around trying to find an area where the trees were not burning. You could stand at the top of a high mountain, and every tree you saw was on fire. Huge forests on fire in every direction. IIRC, lightning was striking the trees and ignited the fires.
I haven’t thought about cyan flowers in so so long. It seems weird that I forgot about them since I definitely used them, and I remember most of the weird exclusive pocket edition things
i remember the aquatic update an the Redstone update. Such a big thing for me to remember. To be honest Mojang should've stopped doing super big changes to the game and kept them simple, i love ur content to bro
creepers used to walk around you when they were about to explode. that one's stuck in my mind since i rewatched the first minecraft playthrough i ever saw.
One thing I discovered a few years ago while playing alpha 1.2.2 is that if you press f5 for the third person perspective, and then press f1 to hide the gui, it actually shows your second person perspective, so you can see your face. This is kind of cool because the old versions are known for only having one third person perspective. This works in other alpha versions as well, like alpha 1.2.6.
Thank you- Minecraft is very special to me, and I often feel depressed because of how far it has drifted from its original form. Knowing that some people still enjoy and preserve it is a comfort.
I remember when skeletons shot arrows from slightly above their heads, so if you and a skeleton were standing under a 2 block high ceiling, it couldn't hit you. That was also while bows were still rapid fire. Another feature I miss is being able to hit through the window of doors from the inside. It was great to get rid of creepers holding you hostage inside, since they would still try to walk towards you despite the door in the way preventing them from igniting
I never really got to experience alpha, all I had was pocket edition for a good portion of my life. On the other hand I was so obsessed with Minecraft that I’d watch yt content back then. Still sad I never got to play it when it came out.
Great video, it makes me want to try Alpha. I bought Minecraft at version 1.2.4, then a couple days later 1.2.5 came out. Also, your voice is excellent. It reminds me of an old parrot (in a good way.)
Lol I get a lot of comments about my voice but that's a first, interesting! Try out alpha and see what you think. You can always update to beta if you want more features :)
This brought me down memory lane, remember watching my buddy who has since passed play alpha version of minecraft. Fond memories, miss you buddy hope your resting peacefully ❤😢
Don't forget you were previously able to sleep even if monsters were nearby, and they could wake you up. There was a bug where placing your bed a certain way against a wall could get you just barely in range for mobs to wake you up if you were unlucky
Ah, I can still remember how I was so very obsessed with Nether Reactors and the Red Obsidian, I would always use them to build stuff despite the final product looking rather unappealing... and of course, I'd make Herobrine shrines whenever I found a new method here in TH-cam. When they were removed, I remembered being distinctly puzzled as to... _why?_ It wasn't a bad feature, it could've been built upon, but... no, it just got deleted, and my younger self could never understand the reasoning behind that... I kinda wish Nether Reactors and Red Obsidian were added back in, or at least, that we could get spiritual successors for both of them... but, I guess that won't happen, if we can't even get individual roses back.
I played pocket edition until it got amalgamized into bedrock, i still only play bedrock on my phone because Minecraft is very expensive on pc in my country, so technically i never fully stopped playing pocket edition lol
I just discovered your channel and I love you content and your voice (so soothing). I didnt played on alpha but I did on early minecraft pocket edition and xbox360 so thats still kinda nostalgic. I'm happy to see new minecraft youtubers like you with a great potential, I hope that you will get the visibility you deserve, keep it up. (Btw sorry if I made mistakes I'm a french viewer)
Thank you so much for the comment. I'm glad you like my videos even though I'm still not great at making them lol! It's cool to see people from different parts of the world watching my videos, you're English is great btw :)
I remember buying the game for 10 bucks somewhere around a decade or more ago. Even before that, i remember there was a browser version of the game that was free to play.
do you remember item transmutation in pocket edition? when you shot an arrow with a bow and switched to another item right away, it would change that item to another version of it! i remember it being sble to turn bone mean into inc sacs, empty buckets and all. i think charged bows had a data value of 1, and when released would just set the data value of whatever item was in your hand to 0, but we were able to schedule that action and change items before it was executed
I'll never understand why Mojang didn't make it so that the sniffer can find cyan rose seeds and add that as a way to get them in modern versions. Its who gimmick is finding ancient ; long lost flower seeds.
I was really hoping they might do that when the sniffer was first announced. Unfortunately it just became another almost pointless mob

god i remember back in the day building anything remotely tall was always so ass clenching because sneak hadn't been added yet, i had so many construction related deaths. also worth mentioning is that fire used to be really really dangerous and could easily destroy your entire house faster than you could react so you always had to be very careful about using lava for decoration

i used to create signal lights by placing torches on the side of flammable blocks and lighting the top. the torch would prevent the block from burning up, effectively creating an infinitely burning wood block :)
I started when they had just released the snow biome. Good memories figuring out how to make a snow golem for the first time haha
dude, great video! i’ll subscribe and stay tuned for that sweet sweet old minecraft stories
Thanks so much!
the very first scene in this video of the torches and the sun rising gave me a gut wrenching sense of nostalgia and longing
Loved the vid man, been playing the xbox version since official release in 2012, build height of 128 blocks and using sticky pistons to make light switches with glowstone. Simpler times.
Indeed I am also one of those OG xbox fella's
Glad you liked it, the old console versions were great!
fantastic video, forgot a lot of these or straight up didnt know about them like the sulphur one haha
I love how much of this I somehow remember even tho Minecraft was already at beta 1.2_02 when I got it, but I guess I've also restarted Etho's minecraft LP from episode 1 multiple times (which now takes me over a year to finish even at multiple episodes a day)
Glad you liked it! Etho’s LP is so good I’m currently rewatching it at the moment
Loved this video. Commenting to boost :) I hope I see more videos of yours in the future
Thank you so much! Don't worry I've got more content planned :)
Bud needs to upload more. I never really even thought about early minecraft at all before seeing your channel, you have reintroduced me to minecraft
Wow, thank you for the comment! I'm working on more video's don't worry and I'm glad that I could introduce you to the older versions of the game there's a lot of great stuff in them!
Also an interesting thing in Minecraft PE alpha versions was that there was TNT in creative mode but for a while it couldn’t be ignited, even when lava buckets were added in 0.7.0. It was only until flint and steel was added that you could
Yes I remember that as well
The only things I remember from old minecraft was the Cyan Rose, and the Nether Reactor, old stuff, i kinda miss the reactor it looked so cool
Yeah the nether reactor design was really cool!
I absolutely love videos like this.
What I remember most about playing MC in 2012 was worldwide forest fires in almost every server. You would arrive at a server and walk around trying to find an area where the trees were not burning. You could stand at the top of a high mountain, and every tree you saw was on fire. Huge forests on fire in every direction.
IIRC, lightning was striking the trees and ignited the fires.
I haven’t thought about cyan flowers in so so long. It seems weird that I forgot about them since I definitely used them, and I remember most of the weird exclusive pocket edition things
Just found your channel and absolutely love it ❤️ Thought I was the only one still playing Alpha
Glad you like it :) There seems to be a lot of people playing old Minecraft recently
i remember the aquatic update an the Redstone update. Such a big thing for me to remember. To be honest Mojang should've stopped doing super big changes to the game and kept them simple, i love ur content to bro
Oh god, this really brings back some old memories. Great video, man!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :)
When they added the names they definitely just went out of their ways to give names that weren't being used.
creepers used to walk around you when they were about to explode. that one's stuck in my mind since i rewatched the first minecraft playthrough i ever saw.
Thank you for reminding me of my childhood, I had forgotten these things almost entirely by now
No problem, happy you liked the video!
One thing I discovered a few years ago while playing alpha 1.2.2 is that if you press f5 for the third person perspective, and then press f1 to hide the gui, it actually shows your second person perspective, so you can see your face. This is kind of cool because the old versions are known for only having one third person perspective. This works in other alpha versions as well, like alpha 1.2.6.
Yes that's how I was able to do it in the video!
Oh I guess I wasn’t paying attention lol
Thank you- Minecraft is very special to me, and I often feel depressed because of how far it has drifted from its original form. Knowing that some people still enjoy and preserve it is a comfort.
Dude, you can still play the alpha version and beta version or fuckin sigma version if you do-so desire. There's exactly zero reason to be depressed
You can learn to mod and bring it back
I remember when skeletons shot arrows from slightly above their heads, so if you and a skeleton were standing under a 2 block high ceiling, it couldn't hit you. That was also while bows were still rapid fire.
Another feature I miss is being able to hit through the window of doors from the inside. It was great to get rid of creepers holding you hostage inside, since they would still try to walk towards you despite the door in the way preventing them from igniting
I never really got to experience alpha, all I had was pocket edition for a good portion of my life. On the other hand I was so obsessed with Minecraft that I’d watch yt content back then. Still sad I never got to play it when it came out.
Great video, it makes me want to try Alpha. I bought Minecraft at version 1.2.4, then a couple days later 1.2.5 came out. Also, your voice is excellent. It reminds me of an old parrot (in a good way.)
Lol I get a lot of comments about my voice but that's a first, interesting! Try out alpha and see what you think. You can always update to beta if you want more features :)
This brought me down memory lane, remember watching my buddy who has since passed play alpha version of minecraft. Fond memories, miss you buddy hope your resting peacefully ❤😢
I still sneak when farming, it’s a hard habit to break lol
Great video man, nice to take a walk down memory lane every once in a while🙂
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :)
Christmas day marked 12 years since I started MC I originally got it DEC 25th 2011!
Cool! I can't remember exactly when I first started playing but I think it was around late 2011 or early 2012
I have good memories of that glass barrier in the end of the world, I don’t remember witch version it was
I love old minecraft men.
I really like your content man, hope you get more attention soon!
Thanks I'm glad you like! I'm surprised by how well I'm doing already honestly 280 subscribers in just under 3 weeks is pretty good imo lol
Don't forget you were previously able to sleep even if monsters were nearby, and they could wake you up. There was a bug where placing your bed a certain way against a wall could get you just barely in range for mobs to wake you up if you were unlucky
Ah, I can still remember how I was so very obsessed with Nether Reactors and the Red Obsidian, I would always use them to build stuff despite the final product looking rather unappealing... and of course, I'd make Herobrine shrines whenever I found a new method here in TH-cam. When they were removed, I remembered being distinctly puzzled as to... _why?_ It wasn't a bad feature, it could've been built upon, but... no, it just got deleted, and my younger self could never understand the reasoning behind that... I kinda wish Nether Reactors and Red Obsidian were added back in, or at least, that we could get spiritual successors for both of them... but, I guess that won't happen, if we can't even get individual roses back.
Pocket edition was my jam. I played on pocket edition until 2017.
I loved pocket edition but stopped playing after they added in levels
I played pocket edition until it got amalgamized into bedrock, i still only play bedrock on my phone because Minecraft is very expensive on pc in my country, so technically i never fully stopped playing pocket edition lol
I haven't seen the alpha brick texture in so long. I forgot how nice that looked
enjoying the vids, keep it up brother
Thank you :)
Currently playing in a beta 1.7.3 server, so helpful to know I can use fences to not destroy my crops
Glad I could help!
Nice video man and nice voice very soothing
Thanks :)
I just discovered your channel and I love you content and your voice (so soothing). I didnt played on alpha but I did on early minecraft pocket edition and xbox360 so thats still kinda nostalgic. I'm happy to see new minecraft youtubers like you with a great potential, I hope that you will get the visibility you deserve, keep it up. (Btw sorry if I made mistakes I'm a french viewer)
Thank you so much for the comment. I'm glad you like my videos even though I'm still not great at making them lol! It's cool to see people from different parts of the world watching my videos, you're English is great btw :)
I haven't thought of old minecraft in such a long time. It was so much simpler back then. :)
I want so badly to go back and play the console tutorial worlds so many nights of pure bliss that left with them
The TNT parody song always comes to mind when i think of gunpowder's old name
Teabag his soul and now his sulphur's mine
Same, loved that song lol
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the Nether Reactor Core or the old Grindstone block
I forgot! I’ll have to make a part 2 at some point
Wow core memory unlocked with the messed up trees lol
Your content is very relaxing. Keep up the good work
Thanks, will do :)
I remember buying the game for 10 bucks somewhere around a decade or more ago. Even before that, i remember there was a browser version of the game that was free to play.
nice one, keep it up man
Thanks, will do!
I remember back in 2019 or 2020 in my survival world with my friends we started building a brick pyramid from the ground to the build limit
Such a calming voice
do you remember item transmutation in pocket edition? when you shot an arrow with a bow and switched to another item right away, it would change that item to another version of it! i remember it being sble to turn bone mean into inc sacs, empty buckets and all. i think charged bows had a data value of 1, and when released would just set the data value of whatever item was in your hand to 0, but we were able to schedule that action and change items before it was executed
the vibes on your vids are bottled emotions.
Good thing you are starting to make videos brother, I pray that everthing will go well for you in the future.
Thank you :)
