i used to collect feathers back in the day thinking if i had enough in my inventory i could fly, it's truly the way you play it
I tried to make an elytra with feathers and iron
Honestly the random stuff I used to get up to. There was one time where I set out to kill every sheep I could find because one of them ate the grass on a road I was making.
this is beautiful, thank you for sharing this
@@lucascaracas4781 elytra still feels new to me lmao
jit tripping
"...in 2013 when I was 6" hit me like a freight train
For real I was 13 when did I get old
Honestly that made me double-take, because that means this dude is 16/17 depending and this video has such excellent quality. Must have put a hell of a lot of work in, which just makes it that much more impressive.
I was 5-6 around those years, man... those were the days.
You think nostalgia makes you look fondly to the past now....man, wait a few years. It catches up fast.
Yeah it's crazy. 2013...thats 17 years before my birth.
Everytime Mojang would roll an update out i would lose the motivation to play on the same worlds, this hit its peak in the Caves and Cliffs update and within the last 1-2 years I've barely even touched Minecraft. Yet its the same game i poured 2000 hours of my childhood into...
literally like I can't commit to it anymore, maybe if they had the option to move a chunk of the world with it and spawn the new stuff? idk but I never stay committed
You have managed to create a video about something I've not been able to put into words for years. All of the updates minecraft has received have theoretically made the game better. The new textures, biomes, mobs, items etc.
But for me it hasn't.
I liked the old wheat textures. I liked knowing diamonds were at y=11. I liked not being able to break the game with stupidly OP villager trades. I liked when the Nether was barren, just netherrack, lava, and the odd fortress. I liked the late night mining sessions with the boys before we had school the next morning. I liked the sense of achievement which seems to have now been lost.
Maybe it's nostalgia, maybe it's hiraeth I don't know, but I'm glad I'm not the only person that feels this way.
Such a weird dilemma. There's people praising the game, like yourself, for being a technically superior version of the outdated days of Minecraft. Yet, the criticism for the game is wild considering the issues you have with the game was all down to the decision of how you played the game, which is boring through and through. Such specific irks like wheat textures? What? Maybe I'm fortunate to have evolved with the game, adding to the vanilla experience through the means of other texture packs, or shaders, and other various mods that aren't different, just enhanced. I was 11 of November 2011 when the game came out. Owned it in December that year. The game's been very fun again, why would I strip mine more than a decade later? Rid of those rose tinted glasses.
as someone who has been playing before even the endermen or the nether existed, i can say that i understand the feeling, i not gonna lie, i like the diversity in the new nether, but after exploring for thousands of blocks (literally, i crossed +2000 blocks in search of a fortress) in a world where 80% was just crimsom forests i became bored, i miss the old rocky/fleshy nether, i think it should still be accesible nowadays in between the types of biomes in the nether, and that it should be at least 25% of the whole thing, also, the graphic changes are easier in the eyes, yes, i like the graphic changes in the nether textures, but in the overworld blocks it feels, well...unnecesary, the item design improvement is fine, but lets be honest, the crispy glass nostalgic
It is nostalgia.
knowing diamonds were at y=11 is what kept me going 💔
@@mehsomethingthis video is for cringe nostalgia bait
I played Minecraft in 2011, and I just started playing it again after a nearly 9 year hiatus, and it is still just as fun.
I build redstone contraptions, chicken farms for fun and cool bases with fancy railroad redstone switch networks
mojang claims they changed the textures for artistic consistency yet we get walking art style violations like the sniffer and camel
*cough* warped forest
@@mercury5003 to be honest i think warped forests are alright but i completely empathize with you
@@Lethal_Spoon I really think Jappa didnt come to work the day of the design phase for those because while they wouldnt feel out of place with the old minecraft textures they don't fit with the new ones at all.
I always felt the newer mobs (mostly the ones from the mob votes) felt too alien compared to the older mobs, not only their textures but also their animations sometimes are too smooth.
It feels like something from those mob mods
@@Cappuccino_Rabbit yeah, compare the allay to the old vex. the warden has detailed animation but i personally feel it fits the game as mobs of that stature, (ender dragon, wither, elder guardian) tend to have that and it’s not jarring like when camels and striders get it.

I know for a fact we all wanted a house made out of diamond blocks at one point in minecraft
Can confirm
And built one in creative due to not having the patience in survival xD
i actually didnt-
@@Hen3349Same.
was on ps4, me and my nephew found out how to dupe diamonds and we just made a whole mantion using only diamond blocks to show our wealth back then, been nearly 5+ years since then.
This video hurt. This video was everything I needed to see and hear, you so eloquently said everything and I am thankful. You're outro to the world, "...but I can return as a visitor." actually broke me. I've been feeling this for so long but just could never articulate why or how. But seeing the older textures, the simpler system it all made sense
Thank you. You created a masterpiece that I have been trying to find, and now that I have I finally got my answers. Thank you
I feel like Minecraft is haunted when i play it alone
Flashback appeared. I used to watch a lot of Minecraft creepypasta content back in the day, so much that I was scared of my own tunnels while mining, so I had to place a door behind myself every time I go too far so that I won't get jumped from the back by some creepy monster. Good times.
HEROBRINE GONNA GETCHA AHHHH
It feels so alone. Someone could be watching.
Haunted or cursed?
I got really fucking scared once. I was trying out the new cave update and the sheer immensity of it all gave me the fucking creeps. I remember running for my life but nothing was chasing me
halfway through the video i was interested in checking which channel made this, and nothing could have prepared me to see only 27 subscribers! very underrated.
i was thinking the exact same thing damn
sorry for gatekeeping
bro it went up so much
@@wetbreadmanye, im 503ed sub now
3 days ago? damn, this guy struck gold.. or diamond, idk
Videos like these make me cry. How I miss sitting in my parents' basement, 8 years old, playing for hours with my older brother. Friends from elementary school. Childhood friends. I remember using redstone as a trail to help get my friends out of a cave they were lost in, them calling for my help. I remember pointlessly deciding to dig away a small sandy mountain with just my hands. Or when my brother and I decided to build a wooden hotel that reached world height, with a diving board on the top to jump into our pool. I remember my group of friends all deciding to eat pufferfish at the same time together and stumble about. But now my worlds have corrupted and are gone. My cats, dogs, parrots, and horses never saw me again. I and my friends have jobs, husbands and wives, careers, and kids. We were last online years ago. I miss them, and all the good times.
But, I try to always remember: You didn't know it was the good times when you were living in them. Means you probably are still right now and just don't realize it. Make more good ole days. There will always be more.
Perhaps other people have a similar experience but what I find is that I am not nostalgic for the game but rather the time spent with others while playing the game. You can always boot up a single player playthrough of a game, but you can't always go back and boot up a multiplayer playthrough with the same people.
Nether in bedrock is impossibly unbearable. Ghasts spawn out of the blue every 10 seconds. Literally on top of you.
It happens in Java I just hate the nether period
Perhaps a skill issue. I explored the nether and it was super fun. And one thing. BRING. A. BOW. Ghasts die in one hit to bows and crossbows I believe, maybe 2 but they have a big hitbox. And the fireball is slow moving and easily avoidable. The nether is supposed to be a difficult challenge, not an easy place to explore.
@@TJ-hg6op my issue is the spawn rates of everything not just ghasts my only issue with ghsasts really is them lighting me on fire because then I can’t see
@@TJ-hg6opin bedrock ghasts get to shoot you before you even load in the nether, and the spawning mechs of ghast are so unbearable
@@teenspider I was playing on bedrock, I didn’t see an issue with them.
i stared tearing up at 11:04, the gravel hit me. its such a small thing but 2014 was the height of my childhood, no worries, no stress, no plans. just play minecraft, watch minecraft
I remember when a zombie scared the shit outta me when I first played Minecraft on the 360 in 2012.
I remember when I used to get so scared by endermen I would literally stare at the ground and freeze
I missed the Minecraft phase (a little too old) but my daughter loves this game so much I watch any videos I see on it.
thats embarassing
same, in 2014 i was truly happy
When I heared the sentence "... in 2013 when I was 6..." I just thought about how crazy this is. In 2013 I was 18 and the world of adulthood started to open up for me. I played Minecraft since 2009 and even more after 2013, when I moved out from my parents place. It was even more nostalgic then. Nowadays I play Minecraft only ever so often and on the XBox instead of PC. But seeing this video makes me want to start another session, even if it isn't anymore what it was back then.
I’m ugly crying right now after the game credits, my grandma passed while on hospice yesterday and the nostalgia of childhood and the memories are something I’ve been trying to get ahold of in this world where the present and acting now is so important. This game was such a huge part of my childhood and it’s so beautiful and I just want to thank you for making this video it’s helped me let some emotions out about that I needed to let out
you have my condolences
im sorry for your loss and i hope youre doing alright 🫶🏼
May she rest in peace
Dude, honest to god, please continue this channel. You have an amazing talent for script writing at only 16-17, and you can speak clearly enough to portray the emotion you’re looking to convey. The only thing I suggest is watching the video on different volumes/devices(speakers/headphones), since some of the music overpowers your voice and sometimes fades in a bit too strong too soon. Apart from that, amazing work, I’ll be keeping a close eye on your channel for future videos!
Thank you a lot for the headphone advice. A lot of of people have been telling me about the audio problems and I've been practicing a little bit, but that's the best idea I've heard so far. Thanks for the compliments as well!
@@bs.hagamanSome sound effects are way to loud aswell , the soothing music paired with the calm tone makes for a knarly jumpscare
@@bs.hagaman i recommend using a compressor on the vocals so that they are a similar volume level for the whole video :3
Truly! I did a double take when hearing "I got this game in 2013, I was 6", I am 7 years older than this guy and he's more articulate than I am. Incredible video
@@taiahrosesame 😂 I had to pause to work it out he's the same age as my little brother I feel so old 😂😭 genuinely thought I was listening to someone my age 😂
i played minecraft alone A LOT as a kid. sometimes with my sister, sure, but i was largely a very lonely and isolated kid. i was very creative, but i hated myself because that did me no good when i tried to make friends. though i never beat the game (i was scared of the nether) the gardening and the tool making and the house building was just so special for me. i remember getting so excited over having horses added on the mobile version. i barely know my way around a new minecraft world now. but it’ll always be a summer morning on my couch next to my window for me, and i think that’s beautiful. this sparked genuine emotion in me, thank you
I’ve also never beat the game 😭
Same, I try many times. I make a new world, go through all the progression, even to getting netherite armor… and then I stagnate. I keep telling myself I want to be properly prepared for the fight, and somehow I always manage to have an extra “need” on my checklist.
I’ve beaten it in multiplayer, though. Seems I’m more likely to finish what I start when I have a gym buddy (or something like it)
I used to tryhard the game during every single playthrough I had, getting the best gear and beating all the bosses, but now I decided to take a slower approach and focus on building and exploring instead. Because of that on my newer worlds I always end up with iron tools for, like, 95% of the game.
Recently I decided to revisit my older worlds (from 2020-2021) and my god I was so creative with the houses back then, it was kinda crappy though, but it always gave me that feeling of genuine comfort while looking at them.
When I was really young I used to mostly play on servers, either the public or the private ones with some guys I found on Skype/Discord. Nowadays I am too socially awkward to actually try and find someone to play with, so I spend most of my time in single player (rarely on the public minigame servers).
It's kind of surreal how much this game holds a special place in my and many others' childhood (and it still is dear to my heart).
I also pretty much never went to the nether alone. Exploring alone and building was so fun for me as a kid. Now I play with my bf!
@@kristab8607 A weird question, but: are your beds separated or together?
This video is so powerful for me. Growing up, playing minecraft on the xbox 360 with the neighbors, or playing the demo version on the laptop my mom let me use when I was ten, or even once I got my own laptop and started playing . This video is incredibly well put together from both a visual and storytelling perspective, and I am so happy I was able to enjoy it today. You’ve earned yourself a new subscriber.
My god the way you used the music and camera work, this video felt magical in a way. That nether scene was spot on! Playing on my nostalgia while also giving me a chance to really reflect on the old days.
"if you skipped to the end... FUCK YOU" damn, as somebody who didn't skip I was still surprised lmao, also great video. love the editing
I was looking for this comment
that part nearly made me spit out my drink lmao
it deserved to be skipped

@@ElectrifiedBacon Apparently not. Dude had 27 subs when he uploaded this. He's pushing 7k a week later. This video is getting passed around youtube by the algorithm because it's relatable to hundreds of thousands of people.
227k views in a week for a channel with 27 subs is a hell of an accomplishment.
Pull thy rod out from betwixt thine cheeks.
dude that nether montage was sicc. really enjoy your slow camera work, letting the music sink in with the moment
That nether music hit my nostalgia real hard
Nether montage really brought back that feeling of being in the nether the first time, I was so horrified of the nether playing on my 360 10 years ago
I loved how you edited this video! And i LOVED the nether montage, especially how you matched the visuals with the music. 15:43 hit HARD
Amazing 11/10 video. Editing was fantastic and the writing even more so. Also the points and “thinking moments” in this video really got me going. Much love and keep it up.

this is giving that commentary in the outro of a movie like "Well, that summer was amazing, to say the least" while it pans over the group of friends in a convertible. i am SO here for it
2000's starts music playing as the title fades in
"see you next summer" like the end of gravity falls, but there is no next summer
@@witherouz593you did NOT have to gut punch me like that, and yet you made me want to rewatch gravity falls at 230 in the morning
Grease?
"I got this game in 2013. I was 6."
Dude you cannot just drop that 20 minutes in what the hell
THANK YOU! Utter shock.
Yooo we the same for real. Kindergarten Minecraft phase was wild
this is legit one of the best videos I've seen on this platform from a technical perspective. the atmospheric shots, the pacing, the way you accentuate the music we all love with the editing... it's all very well put together and cohesive. and all that while avoiding the oversaturated style that's become so common in minecraft youtube.
I'd honestly love to see more videos like this, maybe even a continuation of the same world.
it's also relatable for me. i got into minecraft beta 1.5 in 2011 when i was 10, and have been playing older versions again since about 2019 or 2020, because at some point, the modern game had changed too much from the game i originally fell in love with.
the ending made me pretty sad. the ender dragon really is the mother of all commitment issues. after defeating the dragon, you feel like it's the inevitable end of the game. but you were having fun before, so you can just continue playing on the world. the end fight doesn't change anything and nobody can tell you which version to play. you can try updating to the next version if/when you need something new.
the main advice i can give you for commitment to a world is to set your own goals. build your world such that there's always something to do. after you defeat the dragon, there's not much reason to explore and upgrade your gear any more and after you've built a house, why build more? that's where you must find a reason. you could set a challenge or make up a story or just start building something you think will look cool. start a long term project as a sort of "background task", but don't focus on it too much and build some smaller projects alongside it.
Caves and cliffs ruined the entire survival game. And nobody is gonna change my mind on that.
the modern version of the game has so much more grind it's insane.
I just returned to Minecraft for the first time in years and while most changes are neat or don't bother me, the caves suuuuuuck. The only ones I've been able to find are giant pitfalls that are just a pain to traverse
@@BlazeStorm caves are so big now it's hard to get many resources out of them, in an old cave some gold on the ceiling would only take a 1 or 2 block pillar to reach, now I need to go up so high falling off kills me? No thanks it'll just stay there.
Made me cry. To be able to look back being older now, and realize that this game was forging ideas for our young minds to think more about our own world and appreciate it through the appreciation of the game it's self. With the ending having some of the most impactful words to carry with you in life... far before those words were understood enough to be valued to the fullest extent.
minecraft is often 1 of the things that makes me reflect back on when i was younger in general, what things i wished i coulda changed, wished i coulda done now knowing what i do, knowing where the world and i have headed 10 years from that point and the things i wish to relive as well as knowing the things that shaped me into who i am in the future. i feel sadness but also joy. i smile but i also tear up a bit because there was a time, a year even, where people just got along and all was fine with the world.
i also think back to primary school and secondary school. the people i met along the way, friends, people who cared for and about me even when i didnt, the people who i wish were still with me to this day. those who have sadly lost their life and those who moved on with theirs. i never knew i had alot of good points in life and met such nice people until i finally grew up and reflected on the past. i do miss those days. back then, wouldntve dreamed of it but now, i wish i had another chance to relive those moments. its crazy how much u realised u messed up and the mistakes u made and the things you missed until its too late.
artuum?
I don't even understand what you just wrote
I feel like the whole purpose of minecraft was "What do *I* want it to be?"
And it's still like that way now, but now with the addition of the things like structures, real life animals, and a block for every situation, it might mess with the player's imagination
I have to agree. I've found that it's better to go 'what can I do with what I have' than it is to go 'what do I need to do what I want' at least on a moment-to-moment basis.
There isn’t a block for every situation really. I still can be perfectly creative if not more than before creating more complex things.
How does more options limit creativity 😂
@@garlicmynutsThe less stuff you have, the more use you get out of each and every thing. If you have, like, a bucket of 100 legos, you have to get really creative to make them all count. If you have a million Legos in every color and shape you could imagine, it's almost overwhelming how much choice you have. Even though you technically have more creative opportunities, you're so overwhelmed by options that it's kind of scary for you to even start. This also applies to basically everything. I'm sure some people will always do well with infinite block choices, but a lot of people will actually do mote with less.
@@garlicmynutsIt's also worth noting that in the context of survival Minecraft, if you want to use whatever blocks you want you basically have to search for some ultra rare biome or late game item to get it in bulk. This means that most of your time doesn't go into building and instead getting stuff you want to build with, which can be tedious as hell. In creative mode this isn't a problem tho obviously, which is why people commonly just build their stuff in a seperate world before trying to get the materials to remake it in survival.
This video made me cry man, amazing job! Haven't seen a video like this in a long time. I miss this style of content a lot. Keep it up!
I love your video editing, especially the nether camera angles! ✨
Mods are incredibly important to me. It makes Minecraft truly endless and never boring. Its brought some of the happiest memories in my life. My ex was/is a terrible person but the best memories playing together in a beautiful modded dreamwold like a second life. Aside from that, old Minecraft has something special new Minecraft doesn't: When everything was so limited, people really came together and used their imagination/creativity more to make things work and amazing. Its so rare to see that nowadays. Also, new Minecraft is SO much harder to stay alive. The nether is 1000% more difficult to traverse and many ways to die. As much as I love ancient cities, I hate the world being twice as deep, so many mobs spawning. So even a run for iron is a fight for your life.
Agree i pretty much only play modded Minecraft now and latly been using create mod and theirs so much to do with it
True. Was playing minecraft latest version and it gets boring way to quickly, maybe its because of the way i play. I enjoy exploring, finding new stuff, walking around without knowing what i'll find next. So structures mods for me are a must have. New itens also to keep the gaming experience fresh. There is a mod called ''Artifacts'' that, everytime i remember its existance, it bugs my why minecraft doesnt add stuff like it. The mod adds some artifacts that you can find in chests in every structure in the game. These artifacts can be worn by the player and gives unique and special abilities like increased speed, double jump etc. I feel like mojang is worrying way to much in not making the game feel to crowded when it should be worrying in keeping the game fresh and new.
The MEGA SIZED CAVES-AVES-AVES-aves-ves-s are just daunting. If you have a mod that lights it up they're breathtaking but it vanilla, there's 2 problems: how the hell to get down there without taking several in-game days and/or just dying AND even if you light up the floor, there's still so many areas that you may not find or be able to readily reach for them to spawn in. Technically it's still in your control but how many resources do I want to sacrifice just to making it safe to walk through/around this one area?
new minecraft mods have also become stale the older ones had a lot more creativity to it and lost support
i even loved installing the old way and deleting meta.inf
@@MarkBonneaux just use sand or gravel to make a pillar and dig your way down, followed by building a ladder back up.
As someone who suffers from motion sickness, I can say that the texture updates was one of the best things that happened in Minecraft for me. I could now play for hours longer at a time and not feel sick after, ESPECIALLY the Nether.
The world texture argument has always confused me when it talks about the grainy versus smoother look. You can have that again, it’s a readily available resource pack in all versions. I’m not going to discount the vanilla textures themselves don’t feel aligned with each other at times in modern Minecraft, but the people who want the classic have the ability to go back.
Man your experience of reality is literally incomprehensible to me.
The texture pack isn’t updated with completely new additions to the game and makes it look like a hodgepodge of different textures. This issue is notable especially in the nether where you can modern nether gold ore from 1.16 clashing right next to old netherrack.
unfortunately i get nauseous regardless of the textures, cool to know theres other ppl who experience this tho
@@sopadss I know a lot of people that nauseous playing games in first person view or allow the camera to move "too much" in third person. It limits what and how they play. Most just end up either not playing much or say say they don't at all to avoid talking about it.
It never bothered me, until I got an injury and lots of blood loss. Then even reading or watching tv caused nausea. Those recovered fairly quick but it took almost too months before I could play a game like minecraft for more than a few minutes. 90% of the time I'm fine now, but if I'm even a little sick, it comes right back.
minecraft fans hate minecraft what do you expect from them LMAO
Wow, what an incredible video! Very moving and nostalgic, glad you got recommended to me!
your video editing style is incredible. phenomenal work, this was super to watch!
I actually really love the strip-mining phase. because it's soooo mundane, but not too mindless. like you still need to think if you found a cave, lava, or mob spawning out of nowhere. but the mundane grinding looking for the diamond phase is so peaceful.
in today's world where everyone needs outside input like game, social media, TV, Radio, Music, etc. we can't handle even just a single day without it. it can make people sooooo boooreedd, it's torturing. but it's too much, that you forget about the whole conflict and emotion that bottle up inside you. and the strip-mining is the best way to make you think about yourself and detach yourself from this busy world without getting bored
as a rule oriented, need instructions, non openended person, strip mining/the gear grind is like my favourite part. why? it's incredibly straightforward.
the good old days for me in minecraft was when minecraft blew up so much that we started getting minecraft parodies out of pure respect, passion, love and as a thankyou for such a great game that a game company has given us. its the only game that touched peoples hearts so much that they went out their way to dedicate songs about the game, to the community and to the game company. the only time where the world had finally felt truely peaceful and brang people together was around that time. there will never be something even remotely close to that level.
@@sophbear4259 i agree. what made minecraft so good back then was that progression was simple yet grindey. there was an actual survival aspect to the game which has been since abandoned and practically far removed from the game in which modern day minecraft can never compare to.
i hate that part, just finding diamonds, stripping mining..... i like to build stuf
I've actually started to dig a perimeter around my witch farm, by hand, no machines. I was lucky to have found sponges when I made a guardian farm. All the stuff that I find goes into a storage. I'll be finished in three years lol
I love the way you make videos, the long sections with just music and gameplay with no voiceover makes it feel a lot slower and a far cry from most of the fast paced brain rot content I see all the time.
Absolutely 😂

What a relatable feeling towards what this game has become. I'm 26 now and have been playing Minecraft on-and-off again, since I was 13-14.
I remember the first time I ever played, I spawned on an island with no trees or animals, but I was told this game was "great fun", so I swam and swam, for almost 20 min straight (Remember that you couldnt "sprint-swim"? And that you sank down so quickly, so you had to spam your spacebar just to stay above water? Well ngl, it kinda sucked at first, but I was determined to find something, anything other than ocean. And I did!
I had watched some friends play once or twice before and knew that I had to "get wood" to start, so there I went, looking for trees and half-assing my way through the world.
I remember being so proud of myself for taking the effort to find land, to explore, build a place for myself out of nothing. To tell your friends about the long swim, to show them my creations. And before I knew it, I was hooked.
I never thought of making a new world, to get a better spawn, I didn't know yet, that every world was different. So I kept on playing in that same world for about a year or so, and I accomplished so much!
But then things started changing. At first I got excited with every update, no matter how small, I wanted to try out the new things that were slowly getting added, I loved it! Because of Minecraft, I wanted to work as a gamedesigner, when I grew up!
I started making new worlds every time something huge was added, to try to make that new feature my "new thing" that that world revolved around.
But I also got older, I had to focus on other things in my life. Occasionally I came back, when a big update happend. But after a while, I'd start to notice that I never really got the same feeling from playing, as when I was young(er)..
My dreams of becomming a gamedesigner stayed just that, dreams, but that's okay! I do still yearn for that feeling of freedom, and of creating out of nothing. But Minecraft simply got too overwhelming, for me, too many things to do to choose from. The things I ended up doing, I had done at least 100 times before and the game just became a little stale..
Since about a month ago, I (for whatever reason) decided to start a world again, after nearly 2 years of not having played the game.
It's doing well, I'm learning alot about all the new stuff that's been added~
But most importantly, I'm having fun! By myself. Now I use Minecraft as a creative outlet, so when I'm stressed IRL, I just go hop on for an hour or two and see what happens. No setting goals, no expectations, just seeing what the world of Minecraft has to offer to me this time.
Thank you for making this video and touching some of us Minecraft-vets' hearts! I've subbed, and liked this video, just as a little thank you for being here~
Keep up the good work, in game and IRL :) You sound like a great person and I wish you happy feelings and good times
i do feel like im just running on the nostalgia train at this stage. all the old consoles and gaming devices and the old games from those consoles, ive never truely let go of them as if it were a core memmory. trouble is, i dont no where to go from here, how to move on and i dont want to either but ik at some point i have to. im 21 myself, i matured very quickly so i understood what it was like to be an adult and face adult decisions with my teen years which was also around the time when i was still playing bo2 and minecraft. to move on seems alien to me but ik it will end up happening. if that means i end up settling down and becoming a father or im living a normal day to day life without gaming and probally a large form of social media idk, but i can feel that gaming for me is coming to an end for me now. new games arnt too interesting for me, i dont feel the hype that often anymore, i cant find too much fun in a game nor play it for so long and the player base is also boring and the most toxic ive seen to date. i no longer have a drive to play any games anymore. i still play them and can still find fun in them but, theres nothing that excites me in games anymore. nothing to work towards thats worthwhile to me.
I call it the Minecraft blues. Where randomly seemingly out of nowhere you get the urge and creative juices flowing to want to play MC again for a few weeks of months.
@@aerisvulkan2538 imo, yes life drifts on rather quick when u start looking back in your 20s and 30s and even older, seeing how far uve made it, become and changed overtime but i dont think its a waste. ive had my best laughs, met some great people, still talk to an online mate who ive known for 13 years now who is happily married and has kids to look after as well and so on. id say its more been a learning experience and just part of growing up if anything. the media can hate gaming, gamers, millenials and all sorts but we still function as a society moreless the same way in life. as we grow older, we cant help but enjoy the past memmories and wish we went back. its one life and theres different segments within your life where things will just come and go. will i miss gaming? sure. i wouldnt say its had a negative impact on my life though. its more a life experience.
I can rely to this so much. I remember launching the game after school and trying to mine. However at that time I didn't know how to craft a pickaxe (I'm not native english speaker so google wan't an option, and also I was like 7). So I tried mining with just my hand and after that I had to wait till the next day and ask my schoolmate how to craft the pickaxe. So many sweet beautiful memories.
Also really thank you for the video. It really made me understand how I feel about the game right now.
Good video. clicked on in expecting a video essay critique on Minecraft's evolution as a game and to some degree got that, but you shifted gears at the pallet swaps and made it much more personal, its good. You could have stood to rase the gamma in the nether and The End sections, next to impossible to see unless sitting in a dark room. The audio balancing in a few places could use some work to especially at the end. The music nearly over took you. Over all very nice, I liked it, B+.
So why is minecraft hard to play?
Because both we and the game have grown and changed. Did you not watch the video?
@@saltydinonuggies1841nah I'm still playing b1.7.3 in an old world and it stills fun as it was back in the day. Get some blocks put some blocks down. No enchantments, no potions, almost no progression, no bosses. Just build shit.
all the serious (or at least semi-serious) themes aside, i am absolutely in love with the phrasing "the disease we call nostalgia"
that is true, as nostalgia was first recognized as a bad thing with the mind before it was associated with good memories.
Brother, you are 17, keep enjoying your life.
For real😭💀 you got plenty of time to keep playing
I'm 24 years old and I'm just coming back to it lol.
Nice vid! I loved the editing when Ward played, and I also love Ward
I really enjoyed this video, from the cinematography to the storytelling. You have a great future ahead of you!!
I think what ruins minecraft is actually speed. At the time you were just discovering new stuff and it felt fun seeing something for the first time and i remember looking for a plains biome for my new house and then i had my mine my farm etc. but now players go in the end with almost no stuff just 4 beds and kill the dragon in 2min but at the time the dragon felt difficult and almost like it had emotions and also walking was actually enjoyable now 99% of players sprint jump because we're impatient and at the time more things were scary like going in water at the time was dangerous because skeletons could throw arrows but now you can cross a river in like 3 seconds. Another thing is we matured and stuff are less scary when i started seeing monsters around my house i was just scared and the nether felt dangerous. Another fun thing was just doing what you felt like in creative like i think most people like me started building a city and in the process got distracted into fun experiments that we enjoyed. Now we compare ourselfs alot to others and minecraft feels competitive and when you make your little house and go on youtube you see a solo guy building a mega city in hardcore and puts you to shame for it.
Fully agree with not finding things scary anymore it’s the same with cod zombies for me used to be terrifying
I think time is another big factor aswell.
We simply just don't have the time to play Minecraft.
The creator of this video literally spent 10 hours stripmining.
Nobody wants to do that. Infact I hate stripmining and only found my diamonds through caverns or had diamond spawn really high.
This is exactly why I still play on legacy console edition, 1.14 on the ps4. It is the perfect mix of old and new Minecraft. It lets you change the textures back to the original ones right when you load up the world, and it still has the 1.8 combat system. The game also has some bedrock features like piston movable containers and dyes in the cauldron to dye leather armor. (Also has the superior Java edition redstone) The minecarts are also 2x as fast, so you can make cool roller coasters. And after all, it feels like the most polished version, even more than Java. It really does still have that old Minecraft feel to it.
I had a dream about this a couple of days ago. Unfortunately by the time I got an xbox 1, minecraft console edition moved over to bedrock. So now all of my xbox 360 worlds are in limbo.
@@fluffydoggo You can still get an Xbox one edition legacy disk and then put it in the console, legacy will play off the disk. Xbox one edition is 1.12. World transfer from Xbox 360 to Xbox one edition still works! Unfortunately the same can’t be said about ps4 edition because Microsoft decided to update legacy edition rather than release a new game for bedrock, with that update removing the ps3 -> ps4 world transfer.
@@Repeatingpower7I want to play it on PC but I can't get update 1.14 on the PS4 version I tried for a whole year what to do
@@biko8341there should be an option when you load in at the bottom called “editions” that should reload as legacy PS4
this is the way
your editing is gorgeous, this is the first video i’ve seen of u !! you are awesome
Why did this video make me cry?! Great vid man, lots of talent
I feel like 2024 is the year of small Minecraft TH-camr uprising. Videos like these are were the good content is at.
Makes sense in a way since a lot of people are interested in the topic of Minecraft and it’s power it had with nostalgia back then vs now. I love these kinds of videos, and it would seem the people making them enjoy it too :]
I disagree with "the less blocks the better" not everyone likes to build medieval. Dyed glass, terracotta and concrete open the door to so many more building styles and creative possibilities while still being limiting. They don't even have stairs or slabs. And even blocks with a specific purpose like the composter get used to build walls, flower pots, litter boxes, wheelbarrows, etc.
Limiting yourself can be fun but you can't create a painting with a pencil.
+1 I would argue Minecraft lacks a wider block variety even (no concrete/terracotta slabs/stairs for instance, the amount of wall types, among others). Not only that, but how accessible some of these are in large quantities in order to be similarly viable to easier-to-obtain blocks is also a factor if playing survival.
Still if you want to build medieval still having to texture your walls and stuff or it will look ugly as hell. Mostly using 3 or 4 textures. Like for example, from in a good state to extremly worn: Stone Bricks, Cracked Stone Bricks, Tuff, Gray Concrete Powder
Or the same way: Bricks, Polished Granite, Granite
I disagree because yes, the old blocks do have a more medieval direction, but that's what gives the game it's consistency. Sure modern builders can make some great stuff, but for the average player, most builds in modern minecraft look awful. Older versions level the playing field by making the environment match the simplistic building. That and the challenge of making a modern house or something using old blocks creates for more interesting builds than 90% of modern minecraft builds in my opinion.
yeah i agree but mojang shoudnt go overboard with the blocks
@@magic00squirrel that random shovel guy
Not even halfway through the video and this is one lf the best scripted and editied minecraft videos ive ever seen. Earned my sub. Well done broski 👍
holy shit props to you mate. this is the best youtube video I've watched in forever (and I watch a lot of youtube lol). how its edited, the jokes, the pacing, the concept, so on and so on. the exaccution on this is just awesome. please make more videos like this cause this video slaps 🙏🙏
Is one very good thing modern Minecraft fixed and it was cave exploration, you no longer need to strip mine if you fine a very good cavern, also very scary because stuff spawns all over caverns.
as controversial as it was, killing strip mining with deepslate and better caves was a good thing!
One of my favorite things to do in Minecraft is spelunking because it’s not as mindless as strip-mining and I love exploring the caves. The caves and cliffs update made exploring big caverns a lot more fun and dangerous for me. Slowly lighting up areas, getting dopamine bursts from mining out veins, and making the area safer with bridges and work stations. I felt like I was conquering the underground.
@@comet.xThis makes me laugh because I still find myself strip-mining despite the lack of necessity for it. Old habits die hard!
@@comet.x I actually prefer strip mining. Its a calm experience, with nuggets of excitement when you hit a cave, compared to the constant rollercoaster ride that is modern caving. Its why I've chosen to stay on 1.16, since its got the qol stuff like the revamped Nether, but also keeps the classic mining experience
Trying my best to put biases aside, the one thing that definitely made the older days of Minecraft significantly better were the online friends I used to have while playing between multiple servers.
Definitely agree, all the small servers I used to play on are gone.
That was fun. See you tomorrow?
- Your gaming Buddy, who last logged in 2000 days ago.
Sometimes I wonder what happened to them. If they still remember the good times we had.
I do.
@@Nuvenor I was the person that pulled the “last online 6 years ago” though I actually managed to find 2 of my buds through some rigorous searching that lasted like half a year of searching and waiting to see if they’d be online certain servers. We sadly don’t talk much still cause our lives have changed so much but we still say merry Christmas to one another
Hey man, I just want to say that this is the first video I've watched on TH-cam where I could tell that the filming and editing was more than just a part of the process for the creator. Your editing was top-notch, both in a quality sense and just in a "fun to watch" sense. Thank you for making this video.
This was a lovely adventure to watch. Brilliant work - can't wait to see what you do next.
This video is a masterpiece. Everything from the commentary to the editing to the song choices for each segment- you are so talented. Seeing your journey towards the stronghold and seeing the games credits shortly afterwards actually made me feel something. I haven't gotten emotional over Minecraft's credits in a very long time. Please keep making more "low quality" productions!!
This guy thinks he plays games late? I started playing chess in 2020!
Time flies…. It’s crazy.
Excellent video!
You have a serious talent for editing. I can tell you enjoy it and that makes it 10x better. Best wishes :)
As you mentioned your fear of completing the game, it reminded me of why I love playing minecraft beta so much. Back then, there was no specific objective to achieve, and you could never really finish the game. The enjoyment came from just building and being creative. I 100% agree that limitations often inspire creativity, and this is particularly evident in those older versions
Modern minecraft offers a lot of content, but I often find myself lacking motivation to play it. With so many options and tasks to choose from, it can be overwhelming, making it difficult to focus on your builds. Rather than improving existing features, new ones are added, making the game feel bloated
I really enjoy the simplicity of old minecraft and I'm glad so many other people do too
13:30 This little edit with warmth by c418 in the background perfectly represents the feeling the nether gave me when I was younger, the feeling of ambiguity, uncertainty, not knowing what can happen, not knowing where I was. One of the wonders of Minecraft back then.
I love seeing such small creators make these amazing videos!❤
I love how the video took a more emotional/artistic turn in the latter half. The editing style and use of music takes a (good) departure from the typical artificially upbeat nature of most mc vids. I'm surprised to hear that you're only 17. This is really good work.
I feel strongly in particular about the nether tracks, and your depiction of the old nether wastes near the middle captures that essence perfectly. I've tried to explain the feelings I get from the original nether music and the atmosphere of the dimension itself, but people don't seem to get what I mean or have the same appreciation for it. When the nether montage part of this vid started, I was sort of in awe because it depicts exactly how I feel.
I would love to see more creative liberty like this on "mainstream TH-cam".
I loved this video and your commentary and you've also helped me come to terms that I've also outgrown minecraft, and it will just remain a fond memory, playing every so often with friends.
Same here, this video made me realize that it wasn't that I just hated the game now
i think im starting to slowly come to terms with this as well. i still love minecraft and enjoy it alot, but i cant sit there and play it anymore. its just like fortnite. im getting close now to uninstalling fortnite. not cause its not interesting and fun but, i just get bored and cant play it for long anymore. with the bugs and issues as well and the updates, im not that fussed about it these days. i think the hype train and nostalgia trip for games like this is wearing off slowly and i think its getting to the end of a gaming era for me now where my body is ready to move on and live a life of a grown adult but my mind still clings on to the past.
i dont want to leave the gaming sphere and thats what i think hurts the most. being in it for 15 years, adapting my skill, playing for fun, enjoying the laughs with my mates on there, i cant see a world in which i fully move on away from it however i also feel like im not far from that deep down. its not a decision ive made but a natural process of moving on without really knowing i have. i think thats what hurts and scares me the most. leaving somethig i treasured so much, behind and only being able to look back.
this felt rly professional g, I expected to see like 500k subs when i scrolled down but was kinda surprised. Keep it up bruh.
What a great video, everything was well said and easy to connect to. The only thing is it was hard to hear you over some of your music edits.
I need to express how insanely good your editing is, really amazing video :D
Was not expecting to tear up at the end of Chapter VI, but you hit the nail on the head for the exact same emotions I feel. Well played sir, and excellent video. You're gonna go far here
commenting this before i’ve even finished the entire video, i’ve recently had a burst of playtime on my hardcore world that I made almost 2 years ago but only sunk 100 hours into and seeing this video just made me so happy to know that other people can find the power to kickstart the fun again. I’m nearly a grown ass man and just hearing strad reminded me of a base I had on an old realm, in the middle of the void, in the end the most lonely place possible but I always played strad to fill the emptiness and it had me on the verge of tears hearing it again. Amazing video, I hope it reaches more likeminded people :)
finished the video now - and i stand by point, brilliant job. Having someone actually dive below the surface of usual answers and truly studying the topic is rare and perfectly executed. Plus that sudden change from serious and philosophical at the end to then addressing those who may have skipped the masterpiece was just the cherry on top! Truly impactful work
This basically sums up perfectly how minecraft feels to me now. Its kinda suprising but after hearing your monologue after the end of chapter VII it really opened my eyes to how much the game has shaped me. All the fun memories of laughter, the all nighters spent building bases, to even the idea of infinite possibilities of discovery proposed by this infinite world. Even though I never fully finished the game myself, I can definitely say it shaped who I am today and was a huge part of my childhood. There was just something missing about playing the game now trying to relive those memories but seeing this video made me realize how much i've grown and changed since then. It opened up a window to my past where I can look through and fully appreciate everything this game been by appreciating those memories instead of dwelling on them so thank you. Who knows, maybe I might start up a 1.8.9 world and give the game one last crack so I can finally say I beat it
wonderful video, it hits close too. music got pretty loud, couldn't really hear you at some points but overall it was very well done. thanks for this.
This video was fantastic! The slow paced editing, calm tone and wonderful storytelling and personal experience with the game was very enjoyable to watch. It brought me back to the classic ties of Minecraft when the community felt different and the textures were solid. I honestly can't thank you enough.
Such a good video. Holy cow man, the editing, the shots, the emotion, the musical choices. Seriously, this is why I love the minecraft community. If you love that old minecraft feeling but don't ever want it to stop, I suggest checking out Beta 1.7.3. I know it's old as sin and is missing a TON of modern minecraft features, but something about the removal of the Ender Dragon makes that exploratory, "find your own fun" feeling always evergreen. There is no end. And so you can just...keep going. Either way, amazing stuff, you've earned your new share of subscribers.
On the topic of the texture change.
At the time when the textured changed I knew nothing about Mojang/Microsoft or anything like that.
I still remember my world I was playing in, on the day when the textures changed, I was in my sand mine and my thoughts for the first hour of play that day was: "The sand is wrong, why is it wrong? Why did it change?", I searched for anything that was the same in that world, others and even new ones, but they were all "wrong".
Seeing this video and the old textures, feels "right" again.
As if I awoke that day, many years ago, and the sky was purple and when I said it was wrong I was told resolutely that I was wrong. Everyday feeling out-of-place, until today seeing a blue sky and smiling because I was right, the sky had been blue.
Blimey, this must be what nostalgia feels like. What a relief!
This was probably one of the coolest videos I have seen in a long time, I hope when the Minecraft movie comes out it gives vibes like this video
The production quality with cuts and edits to the beat of the music is insane! Well deserved sub.
lovely video. nostalgic, relaxing, and honestly a little emotional, in a sense? also saw a comment saying that at time of posting, you had only 27 subs.. you rock for this one. hope to see more vids like this in the future :)
It’s crazy to see how much this one video built up his channel.
Love your editing style, the transitions and the music design were wonderful. Deserve more subs, just got mine.
This resonates with me so well, you and I were the same age started minecraft in the same year, and I slowly started playing less and less and everything changed about the game. I had my "minecraft phase" a couple of months ago and I just couldnt stop playing. Id get home from practice and get on and I wouldnt want to get off at the end of the night, but I did. After I had gotten everything I wanted, built everything and done everything on the list of things to do I made to kee myself from quitting, I just thought; "whats next?" As I closed the game for the seemingly last time. Maybe Ill pick up the game again some years down the line, but new minecraft just felt so different from what I was used to many years ago. Fun, but different.
this was a fantastic video, man. i started playing minecraft in 2013 too, and i was 8 at the time. ive had really similar feelings about minecraft and your video has inspired me to redownload the game and try it again. ive actually never killed the enderdragon? i wrote a personal essay about that in junior year of high school and that was.. two years ago already? its been a long time since i even actually played.
i think the loneliness of minecraft is something i need to experience right now. to work out stuff, yknow?
the way you write is incredible and i am totally here for whatever you make next.
i love your editing and commentary, just make sure to somewhat equalize the audio so there isn't an earrape halfway through
God that line at 2:20 at the bottom of the screen almost made me cry. I remember when i joined I watched that intro video on the super old website over and over again before my dad finally bought me an account, its been probably a decade now but I still know that whole thing by heart, it hurts to know I dont play as much as I used to. I love the game and it will forever stay with me
Just wanted to say your editing is straight flames
Bro, you litterally made my cry, to this video, the musics, the editing, the clips, all together bringed so much nostalgia. This video is a masterpiece.
Thanks for this 30 mins nostalgia trip! ♥
This was a really well put together video. I’m glad it blew up your channel!
Your editing is quite impeccable! It really captures the lonely, melancholic feeling that Minecraft has. I do recommend keeping an eye on audio levels, though, because the music nearly drowns out your own voice in the Chapter 7
Made me tear up, amazing video that really conveys how I feel myself. I love the editing it's actually insane. Minecraft is the first game I ever bought for myself as a child and over a decade later you drop this banger video that hits me right in the feels, but it also makes me warm and content about it all. Subscribed.
This video is a masterclass on storytelling and engaging editing holy. made my nostalgia for minecraft peak as i try to get back into the game
god this video literally had me agreeing out loud because it spoke to my experience SO MUCH. however as someone who loves building and new features etc it’s always a battle for me because i love all the new block varietys and ability to build complex and detailed structures etc but it just feels so lonely and i can never convince friends to stay on for more than a couple weeks. but if you don’t like building, there’s nothing to do once you beat the dragon. i havent had a fufilling minecraft world where there was soul and finished towns and inside jokes everywhere from hours of playing with friends in a couple years and im so sad that theres nothing to do anymore. even though so much content is seemingly added each update it doesnt enhance the experience or add progression or challenge its just another tool instead of a finished structure yk
This might be the best video essay I have seen for this topic. ADORE your editing style by the way.
Coming across this video was a great journey where i could go back to my childhood moments. This game had built me, the memories i got watching this video made me cry. I tried playing minecraft after this video with my brother that i was playing with during our childhood. We were having a great time playing the game once again, but after finishing it i felt empty and sad, just like i wanted to go back in time to my childhood. Thank you for making this video. Hope you have a wonderfull life. :)
bruh when I got to the end poem part I just started bawling. this was a lovely video essay. thank you
This whole video for the way it’s all directed and explored gave me such a nostalgia hit and a beautiful project that you made. I love the actual creative idea behind the video like in old TH-cam. Something meaningful. And the sentence „let’s go to the place where everything is made of blocks”
This video really set in how the thing I enjoyed most about Minecraft was how lonely it felt. It doesn't feel so lonely anymore.
Loved the editing! Good first impression, I made sure to subscribe.
PS I was 18 in 2013 so after hearing the video I turned into dust in the wind thanks
i love the effort and editing you clearly put into this, man!
